I couldnt resist making a bling wreath when I saw the masses of pearls on display in Primark - they just screamed 'do something with me' and Im sure the girl thought I was nuts buying 6 strands of 2 pearls and telling her it didnt matter if they were tangled as i wasnt going to wear them anyway! lol
All you need to make your very own bling wreath are...
6 inch polystyrene ring (craft shop)
LOTS of cream, metalic and pink pearl ended pins (craft/sewing shops)
3 sets of double layer pearl necklaces (Primark)
Flowers and bling taken from cheap/on sale jewellery (Primark)
Silicone Glue
(I didnt use everything pictured and cant guarantee that I can send exactly the same but you will be happy with the parcel) :)Take the thick necklace between 2 of the beads so that just have one long thread of pearls. Using the thinner link of pearls, do the same again then place one bead either side of the gap between the bigger beads.
Snip and twist these 2 smaller beads to lock in place. Continue doing this until all of the beads are attached to the original long thread.Carefully pin the pearls to the polystyrene ring by slotting the pin through the gaps between the tied beads. You can also thread it through some of the cotton between the spaces which will hold it in place more securely. Work from the outer edge first, pin it carefully to one side and revolve the ring 360 degrees pinning as you go.
Work in circles towards the centre and it should take 3 turns around the ring to cover the whole front. Once you have the whole ring covered with the beads now its time to make it even prettier! Place flowers, glitz, bling, pearls, gems - whatever you fancy, in the bottom right hand corner and adhere with silicone. 
Dry completely flat. 
This can be used any time of year and would be pretty for a Princess Birthday party or a wedding centrepiece with candle etc :)For your chance to win all the goodies to make your own bling wreath please pop your name below and I will pick a winner at random on Wednesday :) Good Luck!!
