Ways to Make a Christmas Wreath

Traditional pine Christmas wreaths are quite expensive to buy, and every year the price seems to go up and up. To avoid this expense, here are some simple ways to make a Christmas wreath at home.

For this project you will need a wire; holly; pipe cleaners; candy canes; acorns; can of snow; and Christmas tree branches. Take the wire and form it into a circle. Twist the two ends of the wire around each other to secure the circle. Using Christmas tree branches, tie them around the wire using green pipe cleaners. Add candy canes, holly and acorns to the branches with wire or hot glue gun. Spray the Christmas tree branches with artificial snow. You have just created a beautiful Christmas wreath to hang on your front door.

Another wonderful idea is to make a picture wreath. Purchase a starter wreath (just a simple, undecorated one). Take your favorite family photographs, put a little hole on the top of each picture, and insert different colored ribbon through each hole in the picture. Tie each ribbon to the wreath. Hang the wreath on your front door. Your friends and family will marvel at the creativity used to make this particular Christmas wreath.

One other idea is to make a popcorn wreath with a Christmas picture of your family in the center. Simply take thick thread and string popcorn together. Determining how large you want the wreath to be will enable you to decide how long the popcorn chain will be.
Take a piece of wire, form it into a circle, and secure it at both ends. Double up the popcorn chain. Wrap the popcorn around the wire. Place your Christmas family photo in the center of the wreath.

You can also make animal wreaths using pictures of your pets; Christmas card wreaths; ornament wreaths; candy wreaths, jingle bell wreaths; Christmas ball wreaths; or any kind of themed wreath you desire.

The point is, there are many ways to make a Christmas wreath, and it costs nothing except an imaginative mind and a joyful heart.
