First, spray paint the Small Branch Wreaths metallic gold. Next, tie gold ribbon to each wreath to create a loop or hook for the ornament.
Next, download the Free Ornament Tag Template HERE. Print and use the template to trace the gift tag shape onto a Navy Fan. Cut out the navy gift tag. Use a hole punch to add a small hole to the gift card. Use a Marvy® Metallic Fine Point Chalk Marker to add a small decorative design (e.g. leaves, snowflake, stars) and either your guest's name or a festive holiday word (e.g. blessed, jolly, merry, peace, joy).
Spray paint a section of Boxwood Leaf Ribbon navy blue. Cut the strips of ribbon into lengths of approx. 5-6 inches. Let dry.
Next, tie the finished tag to the wreath, then wrap the length of boxwood leaf ribbon around the bottom of the wreath.
Paint the DIY 3D Unfinished Wood Nutcracker Christmas Ornaments navy blue. Let dry.
Once dry, paint the "trims" of the nutcracker ( i.e. hat rim, jacket belt, cuffs, shoulder pads and shoes) with gold paint or a gold paint marker. Let dry.
Once dry, secure the nutcrackers to the wreath with hot glue. To make your completed ornament extra secure use a small amount of invisible fishing wire to tie the nutcracker onto the wreath.
Once finished place each nutcracker wreath ornaments beside or on top of your guests' place settings. Your guests are sure to love this thoughtful take-home gift to remember a wonderful holiday dinner together.
