This easy project is perfect for adding a personal touch to your holiday decor. Using a combination of a “Merry Christmas” sign, shatterproof ornaments, glitter picks, and a dash of creativity, you’ll have a stunning wreath ready to adorn your door.
Materials You’ll Need:
- 24″ Pine Wreath Base: This will be the foundation of your wreath.
- “Merry Christmas” Sign: Choose a sign that reflects your festive spirit.
- 26 Gauge Floral Wire: Essential for attaching your decorations securely.
- Shatterproof Ball Ornaments: Mix and match a variety of colors and sizes.
- Glitter Picks from Hobby Lobby: Add sparkle and dimension with these decorative picks.
- Polka Dot Wired Ribbon: Perfect for tying it all together with a festive bow.
Let’s Get Crafty!
Step 1: Prepare Your Wreath Base
Start by fluffing out the branches of your pine wreath base. This gives your wreath a fuller look and ensures easy attachment of other elements.
Step 2: Attach the “Merry Christmas” Sign
Position the sign at the center or top of your wreath. Use floral wire to securely attach it by threading the wire through the loops of the sign and wrapping it tightly around the branches of the wreath.
Step 3: Add Shatterproof Ball Ornaments
Select a mix of shatterproof ball ornaments in your chosen color scheme. Using the floral wire, attach these ornaments strategically around the wreath, creating a balanced and appealing look. You can cluster a few of different sizes for added interest.
Step 4: Incorporate Glitter Picks
Insert the glitter picks throughout the wreath. These picks add sparkle and variety to your creation. Use them to fill in any gaps and ensure an even distribution of sparkle and color.
Step 5: Finish with a Ribbon Bow
Choose a bright polka dot wired ribbon, or your ribbon of choice, to make a statement bow. Cut the ribbon to your desired length, form a bow, and secure it at the bottom or top of the wreath using the floral wire. Let the tails of the ribbon flow naturally for a graceful touch.
Display Your Masterpiece
Hang your festive wreath on your front door, above the mantle, or anywhere it can shine with holiday cheer. Each time you pass by, it’ll be a joyous reminder of your creativity and the holiday spirit.
By following these steps, you can craft a wreath that not only adds charm to your decor but is also infused with your personal touch. Gather your materials, unleash your creativity, and enjoy the process of crafting your festive DIY Christmas wreath!
