I was inspired by an episode of Holiday Home Makeover to try to make a Lucca della Robbia-inspired Christmas wreath. It was a pretty simple task overall and I'm quite pleased with the result! You could also call it a citrus wreath.
Supplies:
18 inch fake pine wreath
Mini fake oranges
Mini fake lemons
Fake Cranberry sprigs and leaves
Gold glitter spray paint (I used Rustoleum Imagine Gold)
Hot glue gun
Process:
First I made the layout. I trimmed the cranberry sprigs to separate the leaves and the berries. I made two groups of lemons and two groups of oranges, then added cranberries in between. Finally I added a lot of leaves all over.
Happy with my layout, I took a photo and then took the whole thing apart so I could spray the leaves and fruit with the glitter gold. I did a mild spray: I wanted a good shimmer on everything but didn't want to turn it all solid gold.
Once the paint had dried, I put everything back on the wreath in place, then went through piece by piece and attached them with a hot glue gun. Notably I did this inside a large cardboard box to try to keep the glitter under control. And that's it! Lucca della Robbia inspired Christmas Wreath.
