The process to finish the wreath was actually quite fast. Getting to the point where I had enough doilies took a little time. I thought five packs of doilies would cover the wreath, but I was way off. I bought five more packs and was still off by a pack and a half. All in all it took more than 11 packs of doilies!
The process was simple. I wrapped each doily around my finger, added a blob of hot glue, and then tacked them one by one to the wreath form. When I got the entire form covered I added a White Jute Ribbon, Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim, White Seam Binding, and Soft Sky Seam Binding multi-looped bow. The entire wreath glistens and sparkles as it is coated with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. To do this I sprayed sections of the doilies with Aqua Net Hair Spray, sprinkled on the glitter, and then sprayed the glittered area with more hair spray to really make it hold. Here's a tip for you: put the glitter in a salt shaker to make the whole process a breeze.

This is beautiful. Reminds me of my mothers corn husk wreath I watched her make as a child. This would make a beautiful wedding decoration.
