Wood Slat Wreath

This wreath is easy to make and can be painted any color to fit any holiday.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Cut all six dowels in half to make a dozen 18" pieces.

Step 2: Use a circular item, such as an empty 1-gallon paint can, to build the wreath around and form the middle circle.

Step 3: Create a tic-tac-toe pattern with four of the dowels, working around the paint can as you glue. Continue to work around the can as you glue each layer together.

Step 4: Paint the wreath. (We used Valspar Gloss Berry spray paint.)
