Before guests arrive, 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, or placed in the center of the dining table.

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

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

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

Tools:

• straw wreath mold (optional size),
• balls (must match the size of the wreath: as the base of the wreath increases, the size of the toys also increases),
• decorations in the form of branches with red and zloty beads, a red ribbon for a bow, Pine cones(big and small),
• spruce branches (thin so that they are easy to bend),
• several other branches (for example, pine),
• scissors, floral wire (preferably green),
• red and gold decorative flowers (three pieces each).

Lay everything out on the table and get to work.

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

Step-by-step production

STEP 1: Making a base from branches

1. First, make a base of pine branches. Lay them out in the same direction, e.g. 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, tie around with floral wire, tie down to the base.
2. Continue adding more branches around the shape.
3. Look, are there any empty seats left?, 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 tie down any large branches that are sticking out. The wire should be hidden behind the branches. Now you have a uniform, lush wreath - the foundation for further work.

Step 2: Decorate the wreath

1. Now add a few other branches (in the same direction as the pine ones), distributing them evenly throughout the wreath.
2. Attach a red bow. You can do without it, then the look will be more festive.
3. You can add small pine cones if there were none on the branches themselves.
4. The distribution of colors 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 into 4 parts, one of them has a bow, and the other three add a branch with red beads.

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, this way the wreath will definitely not get boring during the holidays

Step 3: Add More Decorations

1. For contrast, attach several branches with gold beads.
2. Attach the pine cones: wrap the floral wire around the pine cone close to its base and attach it to the wreath, securing it well in place. Make sure the wire is visible, as less as possible. You can also stop at this point, or continue adding balls.
3. Attach three balls, taking into account the same conventional division of the wreath into four parts
4. Add three red and three gold decorative flowers.

You did it! The result is a wonderful Christmas wreath, all that remains is to attach it to the door to delight yourself and your neighbors!

How to make an Advent Wreath

Following the workflow just described, you can also create an Advent Wreath.

According to tradition, there are four candles on it: the first one was lit 4 weeks before Christmas, each subsequent Sunday one more was lit, so it was visible how the holiday was approaching.

Now a wreath of this type can be made with for traditional reasons and for 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 the wreath between the branches, but ordinary ones will do too), insert candles into them.
3. We decorate the wreath with large cones and decorative flowers (two each in red and gold).

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

Materials:

• Dry cones from 30 or more pieces, depending on the diameter of the wreath
• The base for the wreath (if you don’t have one ready like the photo, cut out a torus from thick cardboard)

Stage 1: Laying the first circle

1. Using a glue gun, attach the cones to the inside of the Torus or circle.
2. Inside is best attach smaller cones.

Decorating your home for the New Year and Christmas is a pleasant and joyful tradition. And one of the signs of the approaching holidays is a Christmas wreath

Decorating your home for the New Year and Christmas is a pleasant and joyful tradition. And one of the signs of the approaching holidays is a Christmas wreath. His story is quite long - I think we will return to this interesting topic later. And today, since the time is up New Year's celebrations There’s not much left, I suggest we talk about the practical side of the issue: how to make a Christmas wreath with your own hands

Moreover, it is not at all difficult, and the material can be whatever you have at hand. And if it’s hard to settle on one idea, let’s make several different decorations - for the home, for the garden, as a gift for friends...

One of the most simple options: needles and balls, silver and gold - nothing more, but it looks great. To prevent the composition from looking monotonous, it is better to take different balls - matte and shiny, small and larger. You can purchase them as a set at once, or you can rummage through your household supplies and put together a stylish decoration from scattered Christmas tree decorations

It’s probably worth making a small digression here. Because ideas are ideas, but as soon as we make an attempt to implement any of them, the question immediately arises: how to hold it all together? We will need a base on which we will then assemble the wreath in accordance with our creative plan. Therefore, I propose to watch the master class, which describes and shows in detail, What and how can you make a blank for future decoration?. As many as 3 methods - there is plenty to choose from

There are other options for bases - made of cardboard, polystyrene foam, straw. We'll talk about them a little further, but for now let's get back to the ideas...

Color creates a mood. Silver, blue - “cold” colors perfectly match winter mood . So why not use them in your Christmas decor? For such a wreath, blue spruce branches are suitable, or better yet, artificial pine needles suitable shades. You can complete the design by dusting the needles with “snow” from a spray can.

If suitable coniferous branches are not found, you can replace them with silver tinsel. Or use natural materials , covering them with suitable paint and glitter and adding Christmas tree decorations - as in the following video

Do you want something warmer and sunny? Let's mix colors! Elegant a mix of green and silver branches, decorated with pine cones and “golden” toys looks noble and elegant. True, implementing this idea - with all its apparent simplicity - will be somewhat more difficult. It is important here that the golden decor does not compete with the original texture of the two-color coniferous base, and the composition as a whole does not turn out to be too colorful and chaotic. Finding harmonious combinations is a task for a real artist

In general, very good idea - a combination of different textures and shades of greenery. Look how fresh and interesting the leaves look against the background of pine needles, and the golden branches of thuja among the silver-green spruce needles enliven the composition. But of course, it wouldn't be complete without a bright red berry accent.

Often found in holiday compositions and poinsettia- one of the traditional Christmas plants.

Christmas the wreath does not necessarily have to be coniferous. Using flexible branches of trees and shrubs (most often willows), straw, shoots of evergreens and similar materials it is easy to create original decoration for home or garden. And “gold” or “silver” paint applied to the woven base and individual decorative elements completely transforms the original material

To understand how to implement such an idea, watch the following short video. Even a completely inexperienced craftswoman can make a beautiful Christmas wreath from natural materials, which you can easily find at the dacha. And it will take a little time (which is also important in the pre-holiday bustle and troubles, you must agree)

Looks unusual wreath of fir cones . If you wish, you can complement the composition with berries, an elegant bow or other decorative elements. Some of the cones can be painted using paints in aerosol cans, or artificial “snow” can be added, but even in the natural version, the wreath turns out to be quite interesting. True, you will need a lot of pine cones, but if there is a forest near your dacha, there will be no problems with material for the craft.

Interspersed bright scarlet berries(for example, in our conditions - rowan or viburnum, rose hips or hawthorn) enliven the restrained composition of “natural” shades. But keep in mind: if you plan to hang such a wreath on the front door of your house or decorate a gate with it, or make it an element of garden decor, feathered guests can significantly change your original plan))

But in this bright wreath berries are the main element. Traditionally, holly (also known as holly) is used for Christmas decor, but this is a little tricky for us. Juicy viburnum at home will quickly lose its attractiveness, and rowan trees in many gardens have already been eaten by birds, so to implement such an idea you will have to make do with imitation berry bunches, which you can make from red beads of different sizes.

In the end, you can remove all the “extra” and leave only branches with berries (or their imitation). Look how original this wreath looks - a little “disheveled”, asymmetrical, but surprisingly attractive

Christmas balls are usually seen as an addition to the decor - but you can look at them differently! How do you like the idea? Christmas wreath made from just balls? Matte and shiny different sizes, various shades of red (and if you want, blue or green, golden or silver) - together they make up an unusual, but very elegant decoration

If a plain wreath seems boring to you, make it motley, colorful. This idea is perfect for decorating a child's room. Only in this case, choose unbreakable balls so that the baby does not get hurt, even if the festive wreath accidentally falls (parents know: such “accidents” are a common occurrence when there is a nimble little one in the house))

How to make a practical and safe option - wreath with sisal balls, shown and described in detail in the next master class

As a matter of fact, a Christmas wreath can be made from almost anything. Any natural materials, dried flowers, scattered beads and all kinds of jewelry, tinsel and Christmas decorations- all this and much more can be easily converted into unusual decoration, you just have to show your imagination.

Fans minimalism They will certainly appreciate this idea - this wreath is simple, laconic, but at the same time it looks elegant and touching. All the “salt” is in the intricate interweaving of twigs, which is impressive in itself, without any additions. But again, if you wish, you can develop the idea: for example, “ennoble” the material with paint...

An excellent holiday option is a wreath with electric garland. It will be especially impressive if you use it in outdoor decor: hang it on the front door, the wall of a house, a gate, decorate a winter gazebo in the garden, and so on.

Reflected in shiny balls and tinsel, the lights of the garland create an extraordinary, fabulous mood. Just don’t forget: you need to place this decoration there, where it is possible to safely connect the garland to the electrical network. And it’s better to think in advance about how to hide the cord going to the outlet so as not to destroy New Year's magic such “everyday little things” :))

And it’s also worth considering: not every electric garland is suitable for outdoor use. This is a safety issue, so do not neglect such “little things”.

Finally, you can weave cinnamon sticks, anise stars, small tangerines and others into the needles fragrant fruits, spices or even flowers- you will get not only a beautiful, but also a fragrant New Year's decoration. Smells can be easily enhanced if you use the right ones. essential oils. Just don’t overdo it so that one of your guests doesn’t get a headache from the fragrance.

You are probably already convinced: the number of ideas is endless, and You can make a beautiful New Year's wreath with your own hands from any available material.. If creative process you are already fascinated, and you want to make as many different decorations as possible - for your home and as gifts for friends - watch the following video and be inspired by vivid examples

Well, now that the Christmas wreath is ready (and maybe even more than one!), you need to find a suitable place for it. Traditional option - hang the decoration on or above the front door. You can complement it with small Christmas trees on both sides of the porch, garlands of coniferous branches or compositions similar in style and design to a wreath

If this is too simple and ordinary for you, place a wreath decorated with colorful lights, on the gable just under the roof. Using this “identification mark” guests will easily find your hospitable home on New Year’s Eve

It is possible on a fence or barn wall hang a simple, bright decoration - here's a simple and affordable way to create festive mood both for yourself and for your neighbors. And you can please your feathered guests if you use a suitable treat when creating a wreath: cones with seeds, berries, rose hips, and so on.

A wreath will be successful in the house addition to others New Year's decorations - snowflakes, garlands or Christmas stockings hanging in anticipation of gifts from Santa Claus))

By the way, pay attention to how in this case they fit into the interior, made part of the decor ordinary skis. Someone modestly hides them in the attic or in the closet - but it turns out that you can make them part of the holiday decoration of the dacha! Look, and on a ski trip in New Year holidays get ready soon :))

A wreath can serve beautiful candlestick. Just don't forget about fire safety: candles must be securely fastened so that they do not fall under any circumstances, and decorative elements must be placed away from the fire. And of course, you shouldn’t wait for the candles to burn out completely - the risk that the resinous branches will flare up from the approaching flame is too great

By the way, this is where they say it once began history of the advent wreath, invented by the Lutheran Johann Hinrich Wichern. His wreath was decorated with candles (24 small red and 4 large white) and helped the pupils of Wichern count down the days until Christmas: one red candle was lit on each day of Advent (the pre-Christmas period), adding one white one on Sunday. Over time, only 4 large candles remained from the original version (in the Catholic tradition - not white, but colored: 1 pink and 3 purple), one for each Sunday of Advent. Well, this beautiful tradition came to us and remained just an element festive decoration Houses.

And a wreath can become an unusual gift and even declaration of love. Why not? New Year and Christmas - great time for romance and happiness. And if there are not enough words to talk about your feelings, try to express them in holiday decor

The tradition of decorating houses and apartments with wreaths came to us from Europe, where it is very common along with hanging boots in which Santa puts gifts at night, and other Christmas attributes. It is not surprising that we also liked Christmas wreaths, because they are so beautiful and the aroma of the New Year emanates from them.

In Europe and America, wreaths are hung on the doors of houses, but since we do not all live in private houses, it is better to place them somewhere in the apartment - hang them on the wall in the living room, above the doorway, or put them on the table, placing candles in the center. A New Year's wreath can easily replace a traditional Christmas tree, especially if it is made from spruce or pine branches.

Have you ever wondered why the wreath became a symbol of Christmas? In many cultures, the circle is considered a symbol of eternal life. A green color the evergreen spruce seems to be its embodiment. Initially, the color of decorations, ribbons and candles was also given great importance: gold and red colors were used, and the candles were purple and pink, which corresponded to the colors of worship during the four-week fasting period - Advent. We, of course, do not have to adhere to this at all; even among Catholics these traditions are rarely observed anymore.

Today, New Year's wreaths have become more of a decoration. They are made from the most different materials. You can purchase ready-made products, but many people like to create something on their own, so why not make a New Year’s wreath with your own hands.

Wreath Decorations: List of Ideas

Below you will see many photo ideas New Year's wreaths with different decorations. But generally speaking, no matter what the wreath itself is made of, it is decorated with:

What materials to use for the base

The most important thing in a wreath is its base. Use any available materials. However, it is best to make the base from branches, then you don’t even have to hide it with decor. She will look beautiful anyway. In general, they are widely used as a basis:

• regular cardboard or corrugated, from boxes;
• insulation for pipes;
• wire;
• polyurethane foam;
• wires;
• tightly compressed newspapers, sometimes they are also wrapped with tape for strength.

We propose to make a base from this waste material like tubes from toilet paper And paper towels.

	To make the base of the wreath, you will need several tubes from toilet paper rolls or paper towels. Cut them into pieces approximately 3-5 cm wide. Place them on the floor to determine the size of the wreath.
	Take a thread or wire and assemble all the parts onto it. With wire, the wreath will be stronger.
	If everything looks confusing during the process, that's okay.
	Once the shape is assembled, tie a strong knot.
	Take old newspapers cut into strips.
	And PVA glue.
	Moisten the wreath with glue and wrap the newspapers so that they are saturated. You can also coat the top.
	Leave the wreath to dry for a day. It will be strong enough to withstand light decor. For example this perfect base then wrap it with threads or tinsel, and secure several small spruce branches.

Fabric wreaths look very beautiful. The most varied manufacturing technologies are used, and the resulting wreaths are just as varied. We presented three options in the form of master classes, but in fact there are many more of them.

For example, small ribbons or strips of fabric are tied tightly to each other on a wire frame.

Strips are cut out of the fabric and the edges are sewn together. The resulting “cases” are stuffed with synthetic padding.

	Cut strips of fabric of arbitrary length and width. Keep in mind that as a result of all manipulations, the width of the finished strip with padding polyester will be approximately four times smaller than the original one. Fold the strip of fabric right sides inward lengthwise and stitch along sewing machine. Make transverse cuts from the side of the seam, not reaching it a little, so that the fabric does not pull anywhere later.
	Turn right side out.
	Fill it quite tightly with padding polyester, holofiber or any other soft filler.
	Sew the edges of each soft ribbon and then place the three ribbons together and pin the edges together.
	Weave a braid from the ribbons.
	Bring the edges together and hand stitch.
	Cut and sew a short length of ribbon as shown in the photo to hide the seam.
	Now let's make a bow. It will be two-sided, i.e. red on one side, white on the other. We sew the edges diagonally.
	Turn it inside out. There is no need to stuff the tape.

The fabric is also folded. It is held in place due to the tight fit of the layers to each other. The following example shows how to create a burlap wreath.

	To make the frame, purchase galvanized knitting wire. Cut pieces of the following sizes: 130, 115, 100 and 85 cm.
	Connect them in this way, bending the ends using pliers.
	Cut a few more pieces of wire, fold them several times, slide them under the frame, bend them to the front side and thus secure the inner and outer ring.
	Wrap the loose ends around the inner rings. Level the frame.
	This wreath is made from burlap. It needs to be cut into strips.
	Secure the end of the strip with hot glue or a piece of wire, or tie it. Move the strip of fabric to the jumper, the jumper should be at left hand. Release folds in each gap. Twist the tape, move it to the jumper and repeat the steps starting in the same direction - from the inside to the outer edge. If you run out of tape, secure it like you did the beginning end.
	This is such an interesting looking wreath.
	Decorate it with Christmas tree decorations, lace decorations, and artificial branches.

Almost out of waste

The idea of ​​creating a New Year's wreath from materials that we throw away in everyday life is especially attractive, because you won't have to spend money on them. Who would have thought that from plastic bottles you can create a decent-looking New Year's wreath. You won’t immediately understand what it’s made of.

	Cut the bottoms from plastic bottles and paint them the color you want. Make cuts exactly in the place shown in the photo.
	Fold the corners on both sides of the cut.
	These are the blanks you should get.
	Connect the “flowers” ​​from the bottles, turning them over each time. Don't forget to make a hole in the center of each piece.
	String the parts onto the wire.
	Decorate the wreath with bows.

Interesting options for wreaths made from scrap materials

How to hang a decorative element

It’s not enough to make a New Year’s wreath; you also need to hang it, if you specifically designed it for this purpose. It is better to choose the mounting method in advance. It will be unpleasant if it turns out that the wreath is too heavy and double-sided tape, for example, does not hold it. Then you will have to drive a nail, and this is not always possible. In addition to double-sided tape, they use hooks on suction cups, hook them with wire to the door peephole, purchase special snap-on fasteners that are put on the door from above, and tied with tape to the handle on the back side of the door.

Create New Year's wreaths based on master classes, be inspired by photo ideas and come up with your own options.
