Get the beautiful shine in your home with a sparkling sea glass wreath. Diane Flowers lets us show the beauty in our homes with this great creation.
This sea glass wreath is beautiful for summer. 
Materials:
  • STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
    • Wreaths: 9" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"; 6" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"
  • Beach glass pieces, three 1 lb. bags
  • White acrylic paint
  • Lightweight cardboard
  • Craft wire, 20-gauge
  • Medium flat paintbrush
  • Disposable palette
  • Water basin
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Paper towels
  • Scissors
  • Wire cutters
  • Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
  • Thick, white craft glue
Steps:
  1. Trace foam wreaths onto cardboard and cut out. Use glue gun to secure cut-outs to front of wreaths. Paint cardboard white; let dry.
     
  2. Use wire cutters to cut two 6" wire lengths. Twist wire ends together, forming two hanging loops. Use glue gun to glue hanger ends into top center back of each wreath.
     
  3. Working on small sections at a time, use white glue to secure glass pieces to front and sides of each wreath, allowing pieces to overlap. Continue gluing glass to foam to cover surface; glass pieces should not rest perfectly flat against foam. Let dry overnight.
