Steps
*PS we realized after that if you cover the cardboard with red felt it would give it a more finished look. 

1) Taking a Cardboard sheet cut out a 12" Diameter Circle, the inner circle we cut was 8 1/2" diameter but it's completely up to you

2) Next take a piece of Red Acrylic Felt 9" x 12" and cut it in half vertically and do the same for a White Acrylic Felt 9" x 12" piece.

3) Place the Red Felt on top of the White Felt as seen below. To ensure the red stays in the middle when folding the piece, align the corners together.


4) Now fold the left side first so that it comes to the middle and then fold over & take the right side and wrap it around the right side so you have something similar.. These will be your large "cones"
 

5) Glue the wrapped corner to the felt. Cut to desired length, we cut it half way so that it was 6" long. 

Repeat this process, we needed about 16 pieces to cover the outer diameter of the circle. 

6) For the small cones take a piece of Red Felt & cut it into 4 pieces, do the same for the White Felt. Again over lap the red felt onto the white felt.



7) Again, take the right side and fold over to the middle and again take the right side over to the left to create the cone.



8) Glue the wrapped corner to the felt. Cut to desired length, we cut it half way so that it was 3 1/2" long.

Repeat this process, we needed about 15 pieces to cover the inner diameter of the circle. 

9) Once you have all your pieces ready, it's time to glue the felt cones! Turn the cone around and have a strip of glue at the bottom and hold it in place on the outer corner. Repeat the process until your entire outer diameter is covered. Then start with the small pieces and glue to the inner corner.

You should start to see your wreath form as seen below.



Once all the felt cones are glued you'll be left with something that looks like what you see below. Now you can leave it as is and just glue ribbon at the back to hang or you can add a little bird in the middle.


If you want to add Bird below are the steps

1) draw up a template for the bird our's was about 2"in height & a separate template for the wings


2) Trace two birds using the template on the white felt and 1 bird on the hunter green felt


3) Trace out two white wings and two hunter green wings to have total of 4 wings. 

5) layer the bird shape white felt, hunter green felt, & white felt. Glue the layers together. Then layer one white felt wing with a hunter green felt wing underneath place them as you like and glue to the body. Repeat for the other side.


7) Now take a white thread cut to desired length so that it is hanging in the middle of the wreath. Glue the thread to the bird and the other end to the back of the wreath. 

Your final wreath should look like this!

  1. You must use only your body temperature to heat the sample to the adequate range. Microwaves, hand warmers, or heating pads tend to heat the solution too high and break down the essential elements.If you can afford it, we suggest combining a Monkey Whizz apparatus with the Sub Solution synthetic urine. The peace of mind from the heat activator alone often proves itself worth the extra investment.People often discuss taking a drug test, but they regularly leave out the details of the process. Here, we’ll explain everything to expect when you go to the testing facility. But first, it’s important to understand what a urine drug test tries to find.When you use drugs, your body doesn’t magically eliminate all traces of the substance when you stop feeling its effects. It can take more time than you might think for your body to process and break down all the illegal compounds. These remnants are called metabolites. A blood test can detect several drugs as well as alcohol and nicotine. But this option is not frequently used for a job drug test; it is mainly used if you are arrested under suspicion of drug use. The hair follicle test is perhaps the most effective and foolproof method to detect all kinds of drug use, including weed. And that is why more and more businesses, government departments, and athletic organizations prefer this method of screening over all others. A hair test can detect substance abuse or drug intakes accurately even after 120 days. But, if you have recently tried smoking weed for the first time in the past two or three days, opting for this test is an excellent idea as it won’t detect anything you consumed in the last few days.
