Materials You’ll Need to Make a Christmas Wreath:
- 14″ or 18″ Grapevine Wreath Base: A natural choice that adds rustic charm.
- Snow-Flocked Greenery Picks: These bring the enchanting feel of a winter wonderland.
- Red Berry Stems: Adds a pop of color and festive cheer.
- Red Poinsettias
- Glue Gun (Here is the link to our Grace Monroe Home Glue Skillet!): Essential for securing decorations to your wreath.
- Floral Wire: Helps in attaching heavier items securely.
- Scissors & Wire Cutters: To trim stems and wires as needed.
- Assorted Christmas Ribbon or Pre-Made Bow – Here is a great tutorial on how to make a bow using a Bowdabra bow maker!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Your Base: Position your grapevine wreath on a flat surface. Inspect it for any loose twigs and trim if necessary for a uniform shape.
- Arrange Your Greenery: Start by placing the snow-flocked greenery picks around the wreath. Aim for an even distribution to mimic nature’s symmetrical beauty. Use floral wire to secure them by wrapping it through the grapevine.
- Add Berries for Color: Insert red berry stems at intervals throughout the wreath, tucking them into the grapevine and securing with a dab of hot glue. This will make the wreath pop with festive energy.
- Add the Red Poinsettias: Position the three red poinsettias around the wreath, spacing them evenly for balance. Use the glue gun to secure them, ensuring they are firmly attached and beautifully displayed.
- Secure Everything in Place: Allow the hot glue to dry thoroughly. Check that all elements are firmly attached, adding extra floral wire where needed for additional support.
- Personal Touches: Feel free to add any other embellishments you fancy—like ribbons or pine cones for extra flair!
