Celebrate winter with our Let It Snow wreath. This wreath works great for the holidays, and you can leave it out all winter long. Grab your supplies and get started on your own fun wreath today!
There’s something cozy about approaching a front door with a beautiful wreath displayed. This winter season, you need this wreath to greet your visitors! This craft is super easy to make. It will look like a million bucks for a budget-friendly price.
The light flocking gives it a realistic “snow-kissed” look, and the sled is a great way to display your message. Instead of “let it snow,” you could use your Cricut machine to cut out your last name, a shape, or any other message you like.
Wreaths add a touch of festive no matter the season! If you want to decorate all year round, I have plenty of wreaths for each holiday and special occasion imaginable. They are so easy to make and you can add your style and spin to make it your very own.

How to Make a Let It Snow Wreath
Supplies needed
- Wood Iron Sleigh
- 20″ Artificial Pine Wreath
- Snow-Tex
- Wood Craft Stick
- White Corrugated Paper (used code COUNTRY10 for 10% off your purchase)
- Cricut Machine
- White Mesh Ribbon
- Bowdabra
- Hot Glue and Glue Gun
- Floral wire
Step 1 – Embellish the wreath
Remove your wreath from the packaging and fluff up, as it will likely be flat from shipping. When the branches are fluffed to your liking, it’s time to begin flocking!
Using the Snow-Tex, apply the product to the branches with a craft stick and even your fingers. Yes, this is super messy….but you will love the results!
In the image below, the left-hand side has no Snow-tex in place, while the right is complete. See the difference?
After you finish your entire wreath, let it dry completely – preferably overnight.
While the wreath is drying, you can work on the other elements of the wreath.
Step 2 – Make the bow
Make a large white bow from the mesh ribbon. I find the easiest way is to use my Bowdabra. It’s an excellent tool for making big, beautiful bows! You can read more about my use of the Bowdabra and see a video here.
Step 3 – Cut out letters and snowflakes
After making the bow, cut out the desired shapes and message using your Cricut.
Start by adding circles to your canvas in Cricut Design Space. I also added some snowflakes that I want to cut out.
Then, add letters to your circles. Remember that you’ll cut the letters from the circles (like a stencil), so pick a font that won’t cut the centers from the letters completely. I used the font Cricut Alphabet Stencil, free if you subscribe to Cricut Access.
After your letters are centered on your circles, select the circle and letter, then click Exclude. You’ll have to repeat this for each letter. When you’re finished with the phrase, click Make.
When prompted to set your base material, search for Corrugated, and select Corrugated Paper.
Once finished, you should have letters and snowflakes similar to what’s shown below.
Step 4 – Arrange and glue the decorations
When the wreath is completely dry, begin laying everything out on your wreath until you are happy with the placement. I used some floral wire to add the sled and white bow to the top of the wreath.
The snowflakes were added with hot glue, while the letters were added using the adhesive on the corrugated sheet. (The snowflakes would also look great cut out of glittery cardstock.)
Step 5 – Hang the wreath and enjoy!
This Let it Snow wreath looks great hanging on my door! I love a wreath that lasts multiple seasons, y’all. Will you be making this wreath for your home?

What a beautiful wreath! Love the little sleigh, and the mesh ribbon, and the snowy tips. I would love to have a Silhouette, but afraid I already have to much craft stuff, hubby would probably shoot me if I got more. (-;

I love the sleigh on the wreath! Great idea 🙂
Cute wreath. I love the idea of having something that you can use for longer than just Christmas. This inspires me to create a new wreath – I have been meaning to do this as the one I have now on our front door is super old!
This is so cute! Love the little sleigh 🙂
Love this pretty wreath! That sled is just perfect.
That has to be one of the prettiest wreaths I’ve ever seen! It makes me actually want to have a wreath this year 🙂

Hello, I love the wreath with the sled. I’m in Canada and wondered where I could find a sled similar to yours.
I am not sure! The company I got this from went out of business.
