Before the arrival of guests, everyone cleans up the house and hangs decorations. And among all the garlands, candles and gifts, of course, the Christmas wreath occupies a special place. It can be hung on a door or wall, put on the center of the dining table.

In stores on the eve of the holidays, you can see a large selection of wreaths of various designs: with ribbons, balls, candles. But to make it really special and unique, and also much cheaper, make it yourself. How to make a Christmas wreath with your own hands? Very simple!

Here you will find step by step 5 master classes for making a Christmas wreath. Choose which one you like best: from balls, spruce, pine, from cones or even from a grid.

First, let's look at how to make a traditional spruce Christmas wreath, which can then be fixed on the front or interior door.

Tools:

  • straw form for a wreath (size optional),
  • balls (should correspond in size to the wreath: with the increase in the base of the wreath, the size of the toys also increases),
  • decorations in the form of twigs with red and zloty beads, a red ribbon on a bow, Pine cones(big and small)
  • spruce branches (thin, so that it is convenient to bend them),
  • a few other branches (for example, pine),
  • scissors, floral wire (preferably green),
  • red and gold decorative flowers (three each).

Lay everything out on the table and get to work.

TIP: You can make this form yourself from dry grass and cling film. Additional wrapped with tape.

Step by step manufacturing

STEP 1: Making the base of the branches

  1. First, make a base out of pine branches. Lay them out in the same direction, for example, counterclock-wise, let the ends of the branches be on the right, and lay the soft tops of the branches to the left side. Attach them to a straw wreath, tying around with floral wire, tie down to the base.
  2. Keep adding more and more branches around the shape.
  3. look, are there any empty spaces, fill in all the gaps with smaller branches.
  4. So far, he looks a little disheveled and sloppy. wrap a little more wire around to pull off any large branches that stick out. The wire should be hidden behind the branches. Now we have a uniform lush wreath - the foundation for further work.

Step 2: Decorate the Wreath

  1. Now add a few other twigs (in the same direction as the pine ones), distributing them evenly across the wreath.
  2. Attach a red bow. You can do without it, then the view will be more festive.
  3. You can add small pine cones if there were none on the branches themselves.
  4. Color distribution should be symmetrical(so that it doesn’t turn out that all the red decorations are in one place, otherwise it will look like a red spot). Divide the wreath conditionally into 4 parts, one of them has a bow, and add a branch with red beads to the other three.

In principle, it already looks good and you can leave it like that, you can finish it.

IDEA: Or hang the wreath first in this form, and after a week add decorations, so the wreath will definitely not get bored during the holidays

Step 3: Adding More Decorations

  1. Attach for contrast. several branches with gold beads.
  2. Attaching the Pine Cones: Wrap florist wire around the cone close to its base, attach to the wreath, locking well in place. Make sure the wire is visible, as less as possible. At this point, you can also stop, or continue to add balls.
  3. Attach three balls, given the same conditional division of the wreath into four parts
  4. Add three red and three gold decorative flowers.

You did it! It turned out a wonderful Christmas wreath, it remains only to attach it to the door to please yourself and your neighbors!

How to make an Advent Wreath

Following the scheme of operation just described, it is also possible to create an Advent Wreath.

By tradition, there are four candles on it: the first was lit 4 weeks before Christmas, each next Sunday they lit one more, so it was clear how the holiday was approaching.

Now a wreath of this type can be made with traditional and decorative purposes. In any case, it will help create a festive atmosphere.

So let's get to work:

  1. We create the base of the wreath from the branches, add small pine cones, as in the previous case.
  2. Fasten with hot glue gun candle holders(preferably with sharp pins at the bottom to insert into a wreath between the branches, but ordinary ones will also do), we insert candles into them.
  3. We decorate the wreath with large cones and decorative flowers(two each red and gold).

ATTENTION! Do not leave such a wreath unattended with candles lit!

To make such a wreath, you will most likely not even have to go to the store for materials. After all iron clothes hanger and christmas balls almost everyone has. So choose a time to work and go!

  • Unscrew the hanger, that is, disconnect it at the attachment point under the hook.

Step 2:

  • Place the balls on the wire. If its end is too sharp or uneven, cut with wire cutters. After you have strung all the balls, bend the hook with pliers to secure the circle.
  • You don’t need to hang balls from above near the hook, as there will be a ribbon and coniferous branches in this place.

Step 3:

  • Attach branches on top of the wreath on both sides of the hook (tie them with wire or thread).
  • Make a ribbon bow and attach it under the hook.
  • Everything is ready! Even the hook is immediately there, it remains only to hang!

Master class number 3: A wreath of cones

A Christmas cone wreath is very simple to make, but its main advantage is that it is stored for a long time and does not crumble, unlike a spruce wreath. It can be sent to storage until the next New Year.

Materials:

  • Dry cones from 30 or more pieces, depending on the diameter of the wreath
  • Base for a wreath (if not ready-made as in the photo, cut out a torus from thick cardboard)
  • Glue gun.

  2. Best inside attach smaller cones.
  3. The distance between the cones is 1-2 cm. They should not be fixed closer. Maybe even 3-4 cm.



Stage 2:

We do the same thing, but already on the outside of the circle with larger cones. Distances between them - 3-4 cm. They should lie freely - do not overlap each other.

Stage 3:

  • And now fill in the middle row- he's like should be on top internal and external row. You can attach the cones not vertically upwards, but slightly directing them in different directions, filling the voids.
  • We make decor with sprigs of berries or live spruce.

  • cones, wire (for tying branches),
  • glue gun,
  • little bells,
  • bow ribbon.

ATTENTION! When choosing the length of the wire form, keep in mind that after attaching the branches, the wreath will increase several times in size.

Manufacturing steps:

  1. Take some coniferous branches and fasten them to the mold with wire. First, fix the ends of the branches, then wrap them around the wire several times, wrap them with wire. Thus wrap the entire base.
  2. Make another ball of branches over the previous one, in the same way. You should get a uniform coniferous wreath.
  3. Attach some cones.
  4. Add 3-4 bells gold or silver to create festive mood. Attach with a glue gun.

Manufacturing steps:

Step 1:


  1. cut off approx 25-30cm mesh and roll it into a roll. Squeeze in the center with your fingers. To make it more convenient, you can take someone as an assistant to hold the bundles.

  2. Fold each square in half with a triangle, then pull the long ends to the central corner (connect sharp corners with a straight one). It turns out a square with a recess.
  3. With small carnations or pins, we fasten the free edge of the square to the base, braided with straw or twine, we overlap the next one, gradually filling the surface of the ring.

An unusual wreath with soft corners can be decorated with bows, small cones, sweets or Christmas balls, leaves cut from the same burlap, spruce branches, placing them in any order.

New Year's wreath from the carpentry workshop

Having prepared identical wooden rectangles, fix them on the base in an arbitrary or strict geometric order. Additional decor - coniferous paws, bows, berries. An example is in the photo.

Snow wreath of paper napkins

  1. Ready to fill. We fold round napkins four times, we get triangles with a rounded lace edge.
  2. We attach each triangle with a pin to the foam template, as shown in the photo, then, as close as possible to the first, the second, the third, and so on, until the entire surface of the base ring is covered under an impromptu snow layer.
  3. Decorate the snow circle with a bright red bow, one or four (imitating 4 candles).

Fancy material

The original material is the exhaust pipe. It is enough to bend a shiny, neat, identical exhaust pipe along the entire length with a ring, and mask the junction beautiful ribbon, New Year's "rain".

Christmas decorations

As a basis, you can use a wire trempel - a clothes hanger. Leave the hook intact to secure the masterpiece. Unbend and bend the rest of the wire, now in the form of a ring, and then hook the very tip onto our hook.

It remains to string Christmas balls in any order, any size and color. Here, who is on what much! But the wreath is bright, original.

As an option: you can come up with cute tinsel products, satin ribbons, even from ordinary pasta!




A New Year's wreath, attached outside the front door, invites guests, lying on the table speaks of the hospitality of the hosts, greeting passers-by from a window or shop window pleases the eye and cheers up.
