Winter is one of my favourite seasons, even though I don’t do any Winter sports! Â The beauty of Winter, the crisp colours, the fresh snow and all of the wonderful Winter memories. I wanted to create a a wreath that didn’t look like a Christmas wreath. I went to my local craft store and looked for inspiration. Â I found a variety or elements that I didn’t love individually but knew that once I combined them they would be bright and the colours I was looking for.
What you need:
- Foam wreath
- Burlap
- White Pinecones
- Bells
- Silver painted sticks
- Blue sparkly leaves
Directions:
Attach burlap to wreath with hot glue. Â Then begin wrapping the wreath with burlap until the entire form wreath is covered. Â Finish the wreath by attaching the final piece with hot glue.
Once the wreath is wrapped, cut apart the sticks, picks and bells into the desired lengths. Â Attach the largest pieces first on the right hand side of the wreath. Â Then, layer with colours, size and texture.
After all pieces have been placed begin to hot glue them in layers to the burlap. Â Final touch – loop string, yarn, or an extra piece of burlap through the back of the wreath and hang on your door.
What are your favourite elements to include in a DIY Winter Wreath?
I really like this wreath. It can be customized in so many ways and a person could probably change it each year easily enough, if they wanted to. I tend to like the reds so I’d probably have some ribbon and I like the pine cones, so for sure I’d include a bunch of those.
