Wreaths are woven from artificial and natural materials.branches, from cardboard, wire and other devices. Wreaths are also decorated in a very diverse way - with fir cones, Christmas tree decorations, bells, candles and sweets. I take cherry branches, because they are very flexible and strong, which will allow you to make a reliable and beautiful Christmas wreath. You can make a wreath from the branches of any kind of tree, the main thing is that they are flexible and bend easily.You will spend very little time making a Christmas wreath, maximum 30 minutes, for this you will need:
- several flexible branches of trees or shrubs;
- Glue gun;
- several fir cones;
- Scotch;
- green tinsel;
- 4-6 pcs. Christmas toys for decorating a wreath.
First we need to make a base forour Christmas wreath, for this we weave several flexible tree branches together, bend them into a circle. The ends of the branches must be carefully secured together with tape, it is desirable that the fastenings be in several places, so that the wreath is very strong.Thus, the base for the Christmas wreath is ready.Next, we need to arrange the fir cones on the base of the wreath in the way they will be attached to the wreath. It is convenient to attach the cones to the branches using a glue gun.It is better not to place the cones too close to each other, but to attach 2-3 pieces in the form of bouquets.Next, you need to start decorating the Christmas wreath. We decided to decorate it with green tinsel, which resembles spruce needles, and Christmas tree decorations in the form of balls of different colors and sizes.We wind green tinsel onto the base of the wreath in such a way that the gaps between the turns are as inconspicuous as possible.The tinsel should cover the entire base of the wreath completely, making it look like a circle of real spruce branches.Christmas tree decorations in contrasting colors and shapesWe tie the balls together using a regular thread or New Year's tinsel and attach them to the base of the wreath in the place where you would like to see them.We attached them next to the pine cones.We do the same with the next pair of Christmas tree decorations, tie them together with tinsel and attach them to the base next to the cones.If you wish, you can decorate the Christmas wreath with any toys, figurines, or angels.The Christmas wreath will be an original decoration for any house, apartment, yard during the winter holidays. Merry Christmas!
