I saw this peacock during the Christmas season at Michaels and got it on clearance. It spoke to me. I loved the colors and I found the yarn a few aisles over (on sale!!) and I had the ribbon. The colors matched perfectly, I didn't think they would go together, being three different items with a similar shad of turquoise, but it worked! I was a happy girl! Oh and I had a coupon for the wreath, so I was a super happy girl!
I started with a 12" foam wreath, used fabric spray to glue one end to the side that was going to be my back. I then began to wrap my soft fluffy yarn tightly around the wreath. It took about 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Once I finished wrapping, I secured the end to the back with a dot of hot glue. The bow was glued on first and then my proud peacock went right on top. For the hanger in the back a pipe cleaner was cut in half, wrapped in the yarn and formed into a circle. Twist the ends and glue it to the back!
