DIY Hawaiian Luau Wreath
Materials Needed:
Foam wreath form, any size.
Multiple leis (you can use floral or plastic party ones)
Paper beverage umbrellas
Glue gun
Hot glue sticks
Ribbon
As mentioned, I found all of these materials at my local dollar store. If you have a Dollar Tree in your area, they have a huge selection of Hawaiian themed items right now including about five different varieties of leis. So you are sure to find something!
Directions:
1. Cut your leis so that they each become one long strand.
2. Begin wrapping the leis one at a time around your wreath form.
3. Secure each end with a drop of glue.
4. Once your wreath form is covered, open your paper umbrellas.
5. Using the wood picks on each, poke them into the wreath form in a pattern of your choice. You can cover the whole form in a circle, or just add a small cluster as an embellishment.
6. You can either tie your ribbon on by running it through the wreath form, or glue to the back of the wreath. Choice is yours.
That’s it! Give your wreath plenty of time to dry before hanging it on a door, banister, or mantel. These Hawaiian wreaths are so fun and colorful, and because they are so simple and inexpensive to make the kiddos can get in on the action with you too!
So gather your supplies and make your own colorful Hawaiian Luau Wreath. You can make one as shown for less than $5.00, which leaves plenty of cash in your pocket for tiki lights, a grass skirt, and all of the other fixings you need for the perfect Hawaiian Luau!
