Materials
100-150 white zip ties
12-inch wire wreath frame
White spray paint (suitable for plastic)
Protective gloves
Drop cloth or newspaper
Directions
Lay out a drop cloth or newspaper in a well-ventilated area to protect your workspace from paint.
Take each zip tie and tighten it around the wire wreath frame. Continue adding zip ties until the entire frame is covered, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Once the frame is fully covered, adjust the zip ties to stand upright, creating a spiky, burst effect.
Put on protective gloves and evenly spray the zip ties with white paint, ensuring full coverage. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once dry, check for any missed spots and apply a second coat if necessary.
Allow the wreath to dry completely before hanging it in your desired location.

Variations & Tips
To personalize your snowburst wreath, consider using zip ties in different shades of white or adding a touch of sparkle with a light dusting of silver or iridescent glitter spray. For a festive touch, weave in small battery-operated LED lights to add a warm glow. You could also experiment with different sizes of zip ties to create a more textured, layered effect. If you prefer a more natural look, use off-white or cream-colored paint to mimic the look of freshly fallen snow. These variations will allow you to tailor the wreath to your personal style and complement your existing decor.
