Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Fun to stitch with a big impact, choose the FSL designs from the pack. Stitch the designs in three or four different colors of green for variety. A strand of lights with a battery pack and strands of faux berry stems are woven into the wreath, a ribbon added and the dried FSL designs glued into place.

Step 1:

Read through the instructions thoroughly before beginning and assemble all the materials needed to complete the project. Choose three to four different colors of green to stitch the designs.

Step 2:

Hoop two layers of fibrous water-soluble stabilizer. If there is a large hoop for your machine, you can gang up several designs in one hooping; just be sure to leave at least ½” between designs.

Step 3:

The smaller ones stitched fine; however, the circle medallion in the lower left did not register properly.

Step 4:

I re-stitched the medallion in a hoop by itself. Cut away the excess stabilizer and then rinse out the remaining stabilizer per the manufacturers’ instructions, and lay them flat to dry. Place the batteries in the light pack and turn them on to test them before putting them on the wreath.

Step 5:

String the lights in and out of the wreath front and use the floral wire to fasten the battery pack to the back of the wreath.

Step 6:

Weave the strands of faux white berries in and out of the wreath front in an artistic manner. Use the ribbon to create a bow.

Step 7:

Arrange the dried Use hot glue to affix the designs to the wreath as designed.

Step 8:

Turn on the lights and hang up the wreath. Congratulations on successfully creating a beautiful lighted St. Patrick’s Day wreath.
