How to Make a Putka Covered Wreath


I can’t get enough of putka pods. These tiny little seed pods look just like miniature pumpkin making them perfect for fall decor and this little wreath is just about as cute as you can get. Hang on a wall or a door or use it without the bow as part of a centerpiece. Either way, your guests will be enchanted by this tiny pumpkin covered wreath! A high temp glue gun will hold the putka pods to the wreath more securely than low temp.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 30 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Grapevine wreath
Putka pods
Hot glue gun and glue stick
Yellow organza ribbon
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Plug in your hot glue gun and trim off any sticking out ends on the wreath, these can get in the way of the pods lying flat against the wreath surface.

2. Glue a few pods in a row down the center top of the wreath and then add more pods to each side, placing them snugly against the others.

3. Continue to glue pods, first along the top and then down the sides, until you have covered the outer side of the wreath all the way around.
4. Cut a 24 inch piece of ribbon with angled ends.
5. Pinch the ribbon slightly at the center point and glue to the wreath. Once the glue dries, tie a knot and then tie the ribbon into a bow. Trim ends as needed.
