This wood wreath cut out project is simple yet so effective because the lights do all the work. Imagine multiple wreaths lined up on your porch railing or hanging from your windows?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-112273\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/7d270649459dd91a1fa7726e638be6b4.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday How-To's: Outdoor DIY Wood Wreath Cut Out\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love the marquee cartoon style of the flat painted wood wreath with the light bulbs sticking forwards. It\u2019s whimsical, fresh and not your average holiday wreath. And bonus these lights are all controlled by the Holiday show home app so once you set up your wreaths everything is controlled from your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Below you will find the step by step instructions to create this outdoor wreath. Please read through the steps entirely before beginning and always follow all safety precautions when using power tools. Note: one handy panel (2 x 4-ft.) piece of plywood can fit two wreaths.<\/p>\n<h3>Supplies:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>(1)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/23-32-in-x-2-ft-x-4-ft-Treated-Pine-1500124\/203183093?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">\u00be-in. pressure treated plywood handy panel (2 x 4-ft.)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>(1)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/ShowHome-App-24-Light-Multi-Color-C9-LED-Light-W10I0020\/305025785?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">set C9 LED app lights multi color (24 lights)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>(1)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Home-Accents-Holiday-11-in-x-16-in-Red-Flock-Bow-532CSLHD\/202713562?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">wired red bow<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/8-in-Green-Cable-Ties-25-Pack-915\/302960389?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">Black or green zip ties<\/a><\/li>\n<li>(1)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/OOK-ReadyScrew-2-Hole-D-Ring-Hanger-2-Pack-50378\/202341254?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">set D ring hangers &amp; hanging wire<\/a><\/li>\n<li>(1) box\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Arrow-Fastener-T50-1-2-in-Leg-x-3-8-in-Crown-Galvanized-Steel-Staples-1-250-Pack-508\/100095467?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">\u00bd-in. staples<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Exterior green paint &amp; paintbrush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tools:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Ryobi-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-Fixed-Base-Trim-Router-Tool-Only-with-Tool-Free-Depth-Adjustment-P601\/206955202?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">Router (or jigsaw)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Circle jig<\/li>\n<li>Measuring tape &amp; pencil<\/li>\n<li>Drill and drill bits<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Bosch-Daredevil-Standard-Spade-Bit-Set-10-Piece-DSB5010\/203274429?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">1\u00bc<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Bosch-Daredevil-Standard-Spade-Bit-Set-10-Piece-DSB5010\/203274429?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">-in. spade bit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/DEWALT-Carbon-Fiber-Tacker-DWHT80276\/302712299?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CJaimeCostiglio%7C112270\">staple gun (tacker)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cut list:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00be-in. plywood\n<ul>\n<li>23-in. diameter circle (wreath), with 11-in. diameter hole in center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-112274\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/thdblog-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/3843ae3f-outdoor-wreath-step-1.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday How-To's: Outdoor DIY Wood Wreath Cut Out\" width=\"750\" height=\"548\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a router or jigsaw cut a 23-in. diameter circle from 3\/4-in.

Using a staple gun and \u00bd-in. staples place light bulbs down into hole and staple cords on either side. When installing the bulbs I suggest only stapling through 2 or 3 wires at a time to avoid stapling through the wires causing your lights to not work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-112283\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/thdblog-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/b40ec8de-outdoor-wreath-step-7-detail.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday How-To's: Outdoor DIY Wood Wreath Cut Out\" width=\"750\" height=\"372\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2 x 4s keep the front of the wreath off the table to allow for the light bulb to hang down while you are installing all the bulbs.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-112284\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/thdblog-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/645ec784-outdoor-wreath-step-8.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday How-To's: Outdoor DIY Wood Wreath Cut Out\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After all the lights are installed go back through and attach zip ties to the hook portion of the light housing.\u00a0 Then secure the zip tie firmly to the back of the wreath using staples which keeps the bulb in the perfect position facing straight out. Without the zip tie the bulb is a bit wobbly.<\/p>\n<h3>FINAL DIY WOOD WREATH<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-112920\"
