Believe it or not, Christmas is
Here’s what you’ll need for this Christmas Wreath:
- A handful of twigs
- A can of metallic spray paint in the color of your choice
- 3 round Christmas ornaments
- 2 feet of thin chain
- 4 feet of suede cord
- Hot glue gun with extra glue
- Pliers
- Pruning shears
How To Make A Christmas Wreath:
Begin by trimming your twigs to about 16 inches long and laying them in a square shape. I used 2 twigs per side because I was going for a simple, whimsical look, but you could add more if you prefer.
Next, wrap your suede cord around each corner for support. Tie them on the back side and add another dab of hot glue if needed.
Now,
Now you’ll add chains to your ornaments. Using your pliers, cut two pieces of chain to 5 inches long, and one to 6 inches. Separate the last link in the chain using your pliers, wrap it around the hook on the ornament, and then close it back up. Repeat this process for the remaining two.
Flip the wreath over and glue the ends of the chain to the back of the twigs as shown above. Space them out so they are centered within the square.
And that’s it, your wreath is complete! This style is a nice departure from the typical green wreaths that you see everywhere, giving your door a unique look that’s sure to be different than the neighbors’.
It’s easy to experiment with colors here, too… I might make an all gold version for our back door. Or you could go more traditional and use red and green ornaments. The sky’s the limit. Happy holidays everyone!
