By the way, are you aware that nowadays the tradition of hanging a wreath on the door is gaining popularity in Russia? According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a wreath is hung on the door not only to please the eyes of passers-by, but also to attract good forces into the house, and scare away evil ones with a bright and beautiful decoration.

Therefore, we tell and show different options on how you can make a Christmas wreath with your own hands using examples of detailed photo instructions.

How to make a base for a wreath with your own hands

Before we begin with examples of how to make a wreath with your own hands, it is worth saying a few words about how you can make a base for it. After all, it is she who largely determines appearance future wreath. Of course, the easiest option is to buy a ready-made base in a retail store or look for them on the Internet. But if you haven’t seen it for sale in retail stores, and you don’t have time to wait for it from an online store, there is only one way out: make it yourself.

What to make the base from? From anything. As a base, you can use an embroidery hoop, wire, a circle cut out of cardboard or foam plastic, a corrugated tube (for example, from an old vacuum cleaner), or thermoflex (this is pipe insulation - sold in hardware stores). If you choose thermoflex or corrugated pipe You will need to work a little to create a circle shape, namely: just cut the required length and glue the edges with tape or tape. A more troublesome method: glue together cardboard toilet paper tubes.

You can also make a good base from newspapers or old paper. And in several ways. You can paste newspaper sheets or newspaper tubes over a cardboard circle or wire, or you can form a tight circle purely from newspaper sheets. In all cases, for reliability, the newspaper base should be wrapped at the end with thick paper towels, and at the end with tape or nylon tights - this way you will align/smooth the edges and give strength to this structure and the wreath as a whole.

In addition to old newspapers and magazines, any other paper will do; secure it to the cardboard circle with threads, as shown in the photo example below.

And, of course, we must not forget that you can weave a wreath from branches with your own hands (from birch or willow). It is better to use freshly cut branches for weaving. If they are not elastic enough, they need to be bent every 5 cm or soaked in water (if bending does not help). See the photo instructions below for the weaving process itself. In general, nothing complicated; if the branches slip out, secure them with glue or thread.

How to make a New Year's wreath with your own hands

Now let's talk about how to make a wreath with your own hands. In fact, we will consider different options for decorating ready-made bases.

Since New Year and Christmas are, first of all, the smell of a Christmas tree, first of all we will consider a couple of options on how to make a wreath from live spruce, fir or some other branches coniferous plant. Where to get branches of a coniferous plant? - As a rule, Christmas tree sellers also sell twigs, or if you buy live Christmas tree home, when installing it you will definitely have a few extra branches.

So let's get down to business. Everything is simple here, we cut the branches of the appropriate size (as shown in photo No. 2 - we cut them from a large branch, smaller branches) and fix them to the base with threads, wire or staples. Using glue, we glue the protruding edges to its side surfaces every once in a while. When it is all hidden under the branches, start decorating: glue small Christmas balls, snowflakes, cones, nuts (pre-painted in White color as an option, in addition to colors and sparkles, we braid them with beads or garlands at the end. We hang the finished Christmas wreath on the door or place it on the table, placing candles or a bottle of champagne in the center.

By the way, if you decide to make a New Year's wreath from living branches, the branch itself will be perfect as a base; of course, it will not be as lush, but no less beautiful. Follow the instructions in the photo below.

The result is a beautiful New Year's decoration, and, by the way, it will take less time to create it than in the first case.

I hope you get the idea, but otherwise, you can come up with your own way to decorate the wreath: stick to some other color scheme, use some other decorations (wide ribbons, candies, bells, cinnamon sticks, dried oranges) let your fantasies!

In addition, living twigs can be used to braid wire or embroidery hoops. Add decorations in the form of berries or beads, a bow made of a beautiful ribbon and the New Year's decoration on the door is ready.

By the way, such a thin wreath can be hung from the ceiling above the dining table. Add a string of beads to the greenery for an elegant statement piece.

Using different types branches, cones, artificial horns, God himself ordered to make an unusual wall-mounted New Year's wreath, as shown in the photo below. Agree, it turns out to be quite a worthy New Year’s decoration.

In addition to “green” branches, you can also use “naked” ones to create a Christmas wreath; the main thing is to paint them with paint and/or cover them with artificial snow - you will get a truly magical winter decoration for the door.

Don't know how to make artificial snow? - it’s simple: mix together semolina, white paint, PVA glue and artificial snow is ready. Another way to make artificial snow: mix grated white soap and starch diluted with warm water. You need to beat with a whisk until you get a homogeneous mass. In both cases, adjust the proportions yourself.

Continuing the theme of “natural” materials, it is worth noting the beauty and elegance of New Year’s wreaths made purely from pine cones, walnuts (you can use any other nuts) or acorns.

Pay attention to the way to make a wreath of cones: rings are glued to each cone, which are then strung on wire. Using the same method, you can make a wreath of Christmas balls.

Cinnamon sticks also deserve attention, and you can glue whole sticks, or you can cut them into pieces.

And, of course, round “cuts” of branches, glued to a circle made of wood or cardboard and decorated with a small composition of ribbons, twigs and cones. I think many people will like this New Year’s wreath.

And if you do not have the opportunity to use live spruce branches for one reason or another. You can use Christmas tree tinsel to make a beautiful New Year's wreath for your door with your own hands. Decorate it with ribbon and an artificial flower.

Artificial flowers are also worth paying attention to: you can make a wreath from artificial flowers. Make holes in the round base, insert the stems into them and tuck them.

You can also use a three-dimensional base: simply wrap the stems around it or cut off the stems and glue the flowers.

Yes, if you decide to make a New Year's wreath for your door from tinsel, you don't have to take only green, other colors are also great.

Along with tinsel, “bows” made from ribbons, which are usually used for gift wrapping, are great.

Another great idea to make a New Year's wreath: use glass Christmas tree balls, as mentioned above, you can string the balls on a wire, or you can glue them. The balls themselves can be the same color, or you can combine multi-colored balls with each other. In both cases, the finished New Year's wreath is pleasing to the eye.

In addition to glass balls, you can use “wool” balls. To create them, you need to wrap foam balls with threads or make small loose balls of wool alone.

You can make a good wreath if you wrap the base with woolen threads and glue only a few woolen balls.

Or make wool pompoms.

Or you can combine balls with paper (pages from some not very interesting book). Make small bags out of paper and cover a circle with them, and decorate the top with small balls or beads.

Or make a wreath for the door purely from tubes of some beautiful colored paper.

In addition, you can make an accordion out of paper, which can be used to braid a hoop.

Or you can make paper stars or snowflakes. In the case of stars: it is better to make them from thick paper or cardboard, glue the stars to the hoop and paint the almost finished wreath with spray paint. After the paint has dried, wrap the wreath in several layers of twine with beads glued on - and you can enjoy the result.

A New Year's wreath made of plastic snowflakes looks very beautiful; they can be additionally decorated with small mirrors and/or decorated with rhinestones and sparkles. In addition, paint it one color, or vice versa, make it multi-colored, sprinkle it with sparkles, etc. You will get an unusual Christmas wreath.

And don't forget that the wreath can be wrapped in a garland. It will make your wreath truly magical.

Or you can make a large snowflake wreath for the door from ordinary ice cream sticks.

Let's return to woolen threads, you can wrap the base for the wreath with threads, and glue flowers made of felt, beads, etc. on top.

Another great way to make your own wreath is to use old socks. In this case, we used hoops of different sizes, laid them on cardboard and cut out a circle, which was then wrapped in socks, threads and placed between the hoops. The result was a beautiful unusual New Year's wreath for the door.

In addition to socks, you can use any other fabric: burlap, organza, etc.

In addition to cuttings of different fabrics, you can use an old sweater. Spread the sweater and wrap the round base with suitable pieces (you can sew the edges with threads or glue them with glue), decorate the top with felt or felt flowers. The result will be a soft, somewhat “cozy” wreath.

In addition to different fabrics, different ribbons, twine or rope will be useful.

By the way, here is a clear example of using a corrugated tube from an old vacuum cleaner. At first glance, you won’t guess what such a wreath hides inside.

You can also make a cute wreath using cotton balls. Moreover, if you add only a burlap bow to it, as shown in the photo below, you will get a wreath in a rustic style. Or you can use brighter decorations.

You can even create a spectacular wreath from candies (if you don’t mind them).

If you have a foam base: cut out/extrude leaves on it, decorate it with a green marker or paints, without touching the extruded areas, and glue the beads. The finished wreath will please you and it won’t take you much time. By the way, even a small child can do it.

By the way, if you decide to make a wreath for the door with your own hands, you don’t have to make it round. You can use an old frame. Paint it and tie multi-colored balls on ribbons to it - you will get a bright wreath.

Or you can even build a snowman on the door.

The pre-New Year bustle is one of the most pleasant periods of the year. And since it’s the beginning of December, it’s time to start New Year’s preparations. It is much more interesting to decorate the house for the New Year and make New Year's decor with your own hands. Especially when this requires virtually no cost. In today's article we propose to consider three very simple master class on making Christmas wreaths with your own hands.

Wreath of pine and spruce branches

A wreath made of pine or spruce branches will undoubtedly decorate your home on the eve of the holiday. The branches can be taken both artificial (for example, if you need to dispose of an old broken artificial spruce) and live (by collecting fallen branches in the forest). As for the decor of such a wreath, you can take small New Year's balls, ribbons, garlands, pine cones, artificial snow.

YOU WILL NEED:

Conifer branches
Wire
Wire cutters
Cones
New Year's toys
Beads, ribbons or other decor

Step #1. The first thing you need to do is construct a frame on which you will later attach coniferous branches and decorations. To do this, you should fold a thick wire into two rings, one with a diameter slightly larger than the other, then they need to be fastened together, tying these rings with thin wire.

Step #2. Then divide those coniferous branches that are available into approximately equal bunches.

And attach each of them in turn with wire to the frame. With each subsequent bunch, you need to cover the bottom of the previous one.

Step #3. When you reach the end of the last bunch, try to carefully attach the wire under the first one, so that the whole wreath looks neat.

Step #4. The last step depends solely on your imagination. Thanks to New Year's toys, bows and beads, you can create a real work of art.

Candy wreath

The idea of ​​​​creating such a “delicious” wreath will be appreciated by those with a sweet tooth. When buying sweets, we advise you not to choose chocolate candies, as they will simply grow or soften in a warm room. It is better to take jelly candies or lollipops. The decoration of such a wreath will be a large beautiful bow.

YOU WILL NEED:

Hanger
Candies
Braid
Double-sided tape
Scissors

Step #1. For the frame, a thick wire hanger that can be pulled into a circle shape is ideal. Take note of this idea - the frame is strong enough to support the weight of the wreath decor, and the “eye” of the hanger is an excellent way to mount the future wreath on a door or wall.

Step #2. The braid needs to be secured with tape to the iron frame, and then the candies are fixed to the base one by one. Wrap the candies with thick thread or braid until they completely cover the frame.

Step #3. When the wreath is ready, you can hang it by the hook (which was on the hanger) and attach small scissors to the ribbon so that everyone can cut off their sweets.

A New Year's wreath made with your own hands from factory-made Christmas tree balls looks very original. Take balls of one or two shades of different sizes to make the wreath look more original.

YOU WILL NEED:

Glue gun
Wire
Wide tape
Beautiful New Year's balls

Step #1. The first step is to make a metal frame from wire; it is on this that all the New Year’s balls will be strung.

Step #2. First you need to make a frame in the shape of a circle from wire, and then string Christmas balls onto it. First, be sure to glue the balls with a heat gun to the metal loops into which thread is usually threaded to hang the Christmas tree decoration on the tree. We string Christmas balls onto a circle of wire. You should take into account the dimensions of the balls, alternately select large ones and then small ones.

Step #3. We thread the finished wreath with a beautiful wide ribbon and hang it on the front door. Typically, such a wreath is hung on the entrance door or on the wall, and also placed on a coffee table or shelf.

The tradition of decorating houses and apartments with wreaths came to us from Europe, where it is very common along with hanging boots in which Santa puts gifts at night, and other Christmas attributes. It is not surprising that we also liked Christmas wreaths, because they are so beautiful and the aroma of the New Year emanates from them.

In Europe and America, wreaths are hung on the doors of houses, but since we do not all live in private houses, it is better to place them somewhere in the apartment - hang them on the wall in the living room, above the doorway, or put them on the table, placing candles in the center. A New Year's wreath can easily replace a traditional Christmas tree, especially if it is made from spruce or pine branches.

Have you ever wondered why the wreath became a symbol of Christmas? In many cultures, the circle is considered a symbol of eternal life. And the green color of the evergreen spruce seems to be its embodiment. Initially, the color of jewelry, ribbons and candles was also given great importance: the colors used were gold and red, and the candles were purple and pink, which corresponded to the colors of worship during the four-week fasting period - Advent. We, of course, do not have to adhere to this at all; even among Catholics these traditions are rarely observed anymore.

Today, New Year's wreaths have become more of a decoration. They are made from a variety of materials. You can purchase ready-made products, but many people like to create something on their own, so why not make a New Year’s wreath with your own hands.

Wreath Decorations: List of Ideas

What materials to use for the base

The most important thing in a wreath is its base. Use any available materials. However, it is best to make the base from branches, then you don’t even have to hide it with decor. She will look beautiful anyway. In general, they are widely used as a basis:

• regular cardboard or corrugated, from boxes;
• insulation for pipes;
• wire;
• polyurethane foam;
• wires;
• tightly compressed newspapers, sometimes they are also wrapped with tape for strength.

We propose to make a base from this waste material, like toilet paper and paper towel tubes.

	To make the base of the wreath, you will need several tubes from toilet paper rolls or paper towels. Cut them into pieces approximately 3-5 cm wide. Place them on the floor to determine the size of the wreath.
	Take a thread or wire and assemble all the parts onto it. With wire, the wreath will be stronger.
	If everything looks confusing during the process, that's okay.
	Once the shape is assembled, tie a strong knot.
	Take old newspapers cut into strips.
	And PVA glue.
	Moisten the wreath with glue and wrap the newspapers so that they are saturated. You can also coat the top.
	Leave the wreath to dry for a day. It will be strong enough to withstand light decor. For example, this is an excellent base for later wrapping it with threads or tinsel, or securing several small spruce branches.

Fabric wreaths look very beautiful. The most varied manufacturing technologies are used, and the resulting wreaths are just as varied. We presented three options in the form of master classes, but in fact there are many more of them.

For example, small ribbons or strips of fabric are tied tightly to each other on a wire frame.

Strips are cut out of the fabric and the edges are sewn together. The resulting “cases” are stuffed with synthetic padding.

	Cut strips of fabric of arbitrary length and width. Keep in mind that as a result of all manipulations, the width of the finished strip with padding polyester will be approximately four times smaller than the original one. Fold the strip of fabric right side inward lengthwise and stitch using a sewing machine. Make transverse cuts from the side of the seam, not reaching it a little, so that the fabric does not pull anywhere later.
	Turn right side out.
	Fill it quite tightly with padding polyester, holofiber or any other soft filler.
	Sew the edges of each soft ribbon and then place the three ribbons together and pin the edges together.
	Weave a braid from the ribbons.
	Bring the edges together and hand stitch.
	Cut and sew a short length of ribbon as shown in the photo to hide the seam.
	Now let's make a bow. It will be two-sided, i.e. red on one side, white on the other. We sew the edges diagonally.
	Turn it inside out. There is no need to stuff the tape.

The fabric is also folded. It is held in place due to the tight fit of the layers to each other. The following example shows how to create a burlap wreath.

	To make the frame, purchase galvanized knitting wire. Cut pieces of the following sizes: 130, 115, 100 and 85 cm.
	Connect them in this way, bending the ends using pliers.
	Cut a few more pieces of wire, fold them several times, slide them under the frame, bend them to the front side and thus secure the inner and outer ring.
	Wrap the loose ends around the inner rings. Level the frame.
	This wreath is made from burlap. It needs to be cut into strips.
	Secure the end of the strip with hot glue or a piece of wire, or tie it. Move the strip of fabric to the jumper, the jumper should be at left hand. Release folds in each gap. Twist the tape, move it to the jumper and repeat the steps starting in the same direction - from the inside to the outer edge. If you run out of tape, secure it like you did the starting end.
	This is such an interesting looking wreath.
	Decorate it with Christmas tree decorations, lace decorations, and artificial branches.

Almost out of waste

The idea of ​​creating a New Year's wreath from materials that we throw away in everyday life is especially attractive, because you won't have to spend money on them. Who would have thought that from plastic bottles you can create a decent-looking New Year's wreath. You won’t immediately understand what it’s made of.

	Cut the bottoms from plastic bottles and paint them the color you want. Make cuts exactly in the place shown in the photo.
	Fold the corners on both sides of the cut.
	These are the blanks you should get.
	Connect the “flowers” ​​from the bottles, turning them over each time. Don't forget to make a hole in the center of each piece.
	String the parts onto the wire.
	Decorate the wreath with bows.

How to hang a decorative element

It’s not enough to make a New Year’s wreath; you also need to hang it, if you specifically designed it for this purpose. It is better to choose the mounting method in advance. It will be unpleasant if it turns out that the wreath is too heavy and double-sided tape, for example, does not hold it. Then you will have to drive a nail, and this is not always possible. In addition to double-sided tape, they use hooks on suction cups, hook them with wire to the door peephole, purchase special snap-on fasteners that are put on the door from above, and tied with tape to the handle on the back side of the door.

Create New Year's wreaths based on master classes, be inspired by photo ideas and come up with your own options.
