Creating your own Christmas wreath doesn’t have to cost much money – in fact, all of the supplies needed for this project should come in at under $20. To get started, here’s what you’ll need:

• Greenery of your choice (pine branches, boxwood, eucalyptus)
• Wire wreath form
• Ribbon or twine
• Glue gun & glue sticks
• Other embellishments of your choice (ribbons, bells, pine cones, etc.)

Once you’ve gathered all of the necessary supplies, you’re ready to start crafting your own Christmas wreath!

Put Together Greenery

Before putting together the base of your wreath, it is important to first assemble the greenery you plan to use. Cut various pieces of greenery into small bunches about 3-5 inches in length and tie off the ends with twine or ribbon. Doing this before forming the wreath base helps keep everything neat and orderly.

Form The Wreath Base

Now it’s time to build the frame for your Christmas wreath! Start by attaching the greenery bunches to the wire frame one piece at a time using hot glue. Make sure each piece is securely attached so nothing falls off as you move forward with your project. As you add more and more greenery, you may want to adjust the pieces until you get the desired shape and fullness that you want.

Embellish The Wreath

To give your Christmas wreath extra charm and sparkle, consider adding a few special touches like ribbons, bells, pinecones or other festive embellishments. You can also experiment with different shapes or color combinations to make the wreath unique. Attach any additional items using hot glue and feel free to mix up textures and colors as much as you like! Once everything is added, hang your finished creation somewhere prominent in your home and enjoy.

Tips And Tricks

Making your own Christmas wreath is a fun way to save money and create something truly unique. Here are a few tips to help make the process easier:

• When picking out greenery for your wreath, choose durable varieties like juniper and holly which last longer than delicate flowers like lavender.
• If you find yourself struggling to attach certain pieces of greenery, try using floral wire instead of glue – it holds better and makes things look more natural.
• Don’t be afraid to play around with different types of adornment. Adding seasonal decorations such as candy canes, mini jingle bells or even LED lights adds extra flair to your wreath.
