Holiday wreaths made from ceiling medallions ‣ MyFixitUpLife

By Theresa Craft Design How-to Video Make it Theresa's blog

I love making holiday wreaths.

So this year, I’m going beyond just the single wreath, and making three holiday wreaths out of ceiling medallions.

Whenever I make a series of anything that aren’t exactly alike, I look for a few ways I can make them look like they go.

For this holiday wreaths project, I looked for two elements that are the same: shape and size.

And to make them look like they truly go together, I’m painting them all the same bold color.

To make the wreaths unique to my family, I’m adding a holiday-themed word that represents my humor-driven family in the center of the medallion. Just print the words on cardstock, and attach it from behind. I tried Peace, Joy, Love, but Ho! Ho! Ho! is definitely a perfect fit for my family.

Add a ribbon tied around a fastener on the back, and then since I used a polyurethane medallion and exterior paint, I have the option of hanging my holiday wreaths as a series inside, or on our front porch.

Happy wreath-making. And happy holidays.

Medallions BEFORE Fypon — The Before I chose three polyurethane medallions from Fypon Jefferson Traditional and Florentine styles

Ho Ho Ho Fypon Wreaths Green MyFixitUpLife — After spray painting I printed Ho Ho Ho on cardstock I attached the cardstock in the center from behind

Theresa Fypon Holiday Wreaths — If you attach the word from behind attach a fastener to the back of the wreath and tie ribbon to make it easy to hang from a wall or window Secure with tape at the top of the door or from a wreath hanger Dont put a nail or screw in your door You could void the warranty and damage the door

Ho Ho Ho Green Fypon Wreaths — A series looks great hung in a row or in a column Just depends on your wall space and what you like

Green Peace Fypon Wreath — Another After I added a word in the center from the front so I could use a larger word and I can use the center cut out to hang the medallion on the wall

Blue Joy Wreath Fypon — And another After I like how this medallion looks in blue I might need to step away from this project The options are endless And I cant stop thinking about more ways to use these painted medallions for other holidays
