Last year I bought a plain wreath from Michael’s and glued ornaments and pinecones to it for the holidays. It turned out awful. Things just didn’t look right – ornaments were in the wrong areas, the twigs looked off. When my sister and I hung our creations on the wall – we broke into laughter. I was hesitant to try again when I saw this wire pine garland but I really wanted to make it into something. I’m happy to say it turned out perfectly! So, if you want to make your own wreath to display at your holiday parties or Christmas dinner – try this one, made of a few unlikely materials….
Materials:
1 pine garland (will make enough for 2 or 3 wreaths)
A few floral stems, to be cut into embellishments
Pinecones, real or fake
Glitter or paint for the pinecones
Berries or other faux natural decor
Hot glue & gun
Form your wire garland into a double-layered circle and wrap several of the twigs around the ring.
Glue the stems and wrap those pieces around the back of the ring. Embellish it with berry bunches, glittery leaves, and pinecones. I suggest doing one material at a time to make sure you get things spaced nicely around the ring.
That’s it! I chose bold decor in pink, purple, and champagne colors so I didn’t feel the need to
embellish much further.
Did you DIY your holiday decor?
Love the pink and purple!
I have not put a wreath up this year. So saddening on my part!! This looks like a good idea 🙂
i love how this turned out. i need to invest in a glue gun for so many diy and crafts i have in mind:)
thank you! you will definitely not regret getting a glue gun! they’re only a few dollars too! can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂
