" Swap the glitz for an old-timey touch like a fabric wreath. Cut fabric into leaf shapes and paint with white glue thinned with water to the consistency of heavy cream. Let dry, then staple the stiffened leaves to a cardboard ring. Shape extra leaves into poinsettias fastened with a center brad.   Skill Level: Beginner   Materials: Cotton fabrics: about 1/4 yard each of 6 green prints; chalk marking pencil; scissors; wax paper; bowl; Elmer&amp;#039;s glue or fabric stiffening liquid; foam paintbrush; 12-inch-diameter corrugated cardboard ring; staple gun; 2 yards of 1 1/2-inch wide red ribbon.   Directions:  1. On wrong side of fabrics, draw leaf shapes about 3 inches long; cut out.    2. Place leaves right side up on wax paper; pour glue or stiffening liquid into bowl (if using glue, add small amount of water to form consistency of heavy cream). Brush mixture onto leaves to saturate; let dry, then peel off paper.    3. Starting at center bottom, staple base of leaves to right side of cardboard ring in overlapping layers, ending at center top. Staple leaves to left side of wreath in same manner.    4. Fold ribbon in half; tie into bow about 12 inches from fold. Open out folded end; staple in back of wreath, placing sides of fold several inches apart to form hanging loop.
