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.
