DIY Giant Snowflake Wreath
Materials
8 white coated wire hangers
Small clear zip ties (approximately 20-30)
Wire cutters
Optional: white or silver spray paint
Optional: small soft white LED lights
Directions
Begin by laying out the wire hangers on a flat surface in a snowflake pattern. This typically involves arranging them in pairs to form the arms of the snowflake.
Use small clear zip ties to secure the corners where the hangers meet. Ensure the hangers are tightly bound together to maintain the shape.
Continue adding zip ties at various points along the hangers to enhance stability and shape.
Once the structure is stable, trim any excess ends of the zip ties with wire cutters for a clean finish.
Optionally, spray paint the entire structure white or silver for a more polished look.
Allow the paint to dry completely if applied.
For a festive touch, wrap small soft white LED lights around the snowflake, securing them with additional zip ties if necessary.
