If you want to create a fabulous atmosphere at home as Christmas approaches, you can add a Christmas wreath to all the decorations. It will be unusual and magical, because you will make it yourself with your own hands. Don't worry, it's not that hard.
It is necessary
- - thick strong wire, the length of which should correspond to the desired circumference of the future wreath;
- - thin wire, several separate pieces;
- - gardening scissors;
- - liquid Nails;
- - branches to your taste;
- - decorations: bells, toys, sweets, beads, colorful ribbons and everything else of your choice.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a sturdy frame. To do this, combine the edges of the strong wire to form a circle. Fix the ends firmly. If you are using very thin wire, make a few skeins out of it.
Step 2
Slice the spruce twigs about 20 centimeters long.
Step 3
Weave the first branch in a circle, periodically fasten it with a thin wire. Then continue to weave one branch at a time, moving in the same direction. Thus, stack the branches one on top of the other to get the desired thickness of the wreath. At the same time, try to hide the wire so that it is not visible.
Step 4
Fill in any gaps and irregularities with smaller twigs. Secure them with wires. You should have a lush and voluminous wreath.
Step 5
Make a loop out of the wire, braid it with spruce branches and fix it at the top of the wreath on the back (wrong) side. A wreath will hang on this loop.
Step 6
Decorate the wreath with ribbon while creating artistic folds. The tape should be loose, but not loose. Secure it to the back of the wreath with liquid nails. Make a bow on the side. You can use an electric garland instead of a ribbon.
Step 7
Then proceed as your mood and taste tells you. Wire up cones, dried berries or fruits, toys or flowers, bells or tree decorations. Consider the place of attachment well and only after that proceed to strengthening the decoration. Sprinkle fake snow over your finished wreath.
Step 8
A Christmas wreath is usually hung on the outer side of the door in order to show guests their hospitality and willingness to enjoy the holiday with them. You can also hang it on the wall, so it will remind all family members of the approaching joyful holiday - the Nativity of Christ.
