DIY Christmas wreath: master class, photo, how to make a wreath on the door

The fashion for New Year's wreaths on the door came to us from Europe, and it was relatively recently, although this tradition has been there for several centuries. New Year's wreaths are small in size and do not take up any space, but they are capable of creating a festive atmosphere. And although this decoration can be found at Christmas markets in a wide variety of designs, many would like to know how to make a New Year's wreath on the door.

New Year's wreath made of tinsel

Bright and shiny New Year's tinsel wreaths will immediately attract attention and create a festive atmosphere. To make them you will need a minimum of time and materials. Tinsel is glued onto the base (usually cut out of cardboard) and decorated with additional decorative elements - balls, cones, ribbons, bells.

A wreath made from “Mink” tinsel looks very beautiful. Green with white tips, it resembles fir branches covered with frost on a frosty day.

Fixation

The finished craft looks great on the front door. To do this, you will need to build special hangers with suction cups, with which you can easily secure the craft.

This is easy to do - a maximum of two hooks to hook the top and bottom of the decoration. It’s easier to take high-quality double-sided tape that will securely fasten your creation in the right place.

If you are the happy owner of a door peephole, then you can secure the product in another way. Tie a long piece of fishing line to the wreath, and then throw it over the door, thread it through the peephole and tie it to the beginning of the fishing line.

You can also make two wreaths of the same size and tie them with rope or decorative ribbon. By throwing one wreath over the door, you will get a doubly beautiful decoration.

Now you know how to create one of the main decorations for the winter holidays, and you can create a festive atmosphere and a bright mood in your home.

New Year's wreath made of fir cones

New Year's wreaths made from spruce, pine, and cedar cones look original. Additionally, they are decorated with berries, fir branches, balls and ribbons.

DIY wreath of branches

Wreaths made from branches and... look original. These can be traditional spruce legs or flexible twigs.

From fir branches

Fir branches, as a symbol of the holiday, are widely used in New Year's compositions. They are also used to make a Christmas wreath.

There are a huge number of options for a wreath made of fir branches, but they are all made according to the same principle. Fir branches are attached to a round base (made from wire, cardboard, polystyrene foam, twigs). They can be wrapped with tape, electrical tape, twine, and wire. All that remains is to decorate the wreath. Berries, dried citrus fruits, pine cones, acorns, Christmas balls, and ribbons are used for decoration. Use your imagination and create your own unique version.

DIY vine wreath

Vine is a flexible and pliable material from which it will be easy to weave a wreath. It is twisted to form a ring and wrapped with twine matched to the color of the rods. The resulting wreath is decorated. Most often, fir branches, cones, berries, and New Year's balls are used for this.

If you add sprigs of rosemary and laurel to decorate the wreath, it will turn out not only beautiful, but also fragrant.

New Year's wreath made of willow

To create a New Year's wreath, it is convenient to use willow branches. They, like the vine, bend well and do not break. They are formed into a circle, secured in several places with wire so that the wreath does not fall apart. For decoration, fir branches, cones, acorns, berries, New Year's toys, and citrus slices are used. You can choose any decor, depending on the overall style of the jewelry.

A wreath decorated on one side with fir branches, cones and ribbons looks elegant. The twigs can be painted with white paint or Artificial Snow spray. It will turn out unusual and beautiful. A wreath decorated with fir branches and poinsettia flowers will be bright and festive.

Tips from needlewomen

The following helpful tips will help you make your wreath:

Not only live spruce branches, but also cinnamon sticks, dried citrus fruits, bay and rosemary will help give your DIY creation a New Year's scent.
When creating groups of decorative elements, you can combine them by parts of the same shape and color scheme. No more than two parameters can match.
It is optimal when there are only three parts in matching groups.
Groups in which the connecting elements make up one composition look harmonious.
It is not recommended to create additional shapes on the product using jewelry - triangle, square, etc.
The “eye” effect should also be avoided.
Such moments occur when two similar parts are located symmetrically. Artificial berries combined with spruce branches look very festive
The basis can be a regular hanger made of thin wire.
It is better to prepare the workplace in advance. Not only the table, but also the floor around the table should be covered with newspapers. Since there may be resin on the cones and twigs, it will be difficult to wipe off.
To make natural decor more diverse, pine cones and branches can be painted.
You should not get carried away with tinsel; it can cover up the whole idea of decor.
When using a garland, you should consider its length. It should not be too long, as there is a danger that only the holiday lights will be visible and nothing else.
If you don’t have time, then you can only decorate the product with a garland.
Before you start creating a wreath with your own hands, it is better to calculate in advance where it will hang and on what, so that fastening points can be added to the wreath design as it is created.
The ideal place for a wreath is the front door

2. Wrap the ribbon around your palm.

Hold the end of the tape against your palm, using your thumb to hold it.
Wrap the tape around the back of your hand. Continue wrapping the tape around your palm until you run out of tape. 3. Remove the loops and fold them in half.
Move carefully with your hands to keep the loops in place.

4. Cut through the middle.

Hold the folded stack of stitches with the center facing up.

or cut them individually.

And one more option on the theme of a candy wreath. In this MK, the wreath is decorated with marmalade candies. By analogy with a marshmallow wreath, marmalade candies can be attached to toothpicks or glue. Of course, gummies glued to glue cannot be eaten!

Basic stage

Use pruning shears to cut large spruce branches into smaller “legs” - the desired size can be easily determined by placing the branch against the base. These branches will need to be wrapped around the base using wire. Wire works best because it holds the structure together well, even if you let go of a loose branch. Due to the properties of the wire, the wreath can be additionally formed by hand after winding if the shape is not ideal.

Tie the wire to the base, then attach one or more branches (usually three is optimal to cover the front, outside and inside of the ring) and wrap. Try to guide the wire between the branches, rather than on top, so that it is less noticeable.

Add new branches, tucking their tips under the previous ones, continuing the winding. If there are gaps left, don’t worry - you can later add branches where there were not enough. If you wrap the entire wreath in a circle, move clockwise - this arrangement of branches is considered the most harmonious and positive. After finishing the winding, tie the wire into a knot on the wrong side of the wreath and cut it (if you wound it with a spool in your hand).

Take a critical look at what you've got. Using new portions of wire, add branches where there were not enough, or wrap protruding branches more tightly if they are out of order. The branches can be safely moved by hand, the structure will not be damaged: our wreath after wrapping turned out to be slightly oval, but a simple compression from the sides and displacement of a couple of branches was enough to correct the situation.

The wreath is ready, all that remains is to decorate it!

Fabric Christmas wreath

Fabric wreaths look original. Their undoubted advantage is the ability to use them for more than one year.

Various options

We offer you a variety of options for making New Year's wreaths. You will be surprised what materials are used and how many modifications of wreaths there are. We have already said that the principle of their creation is similar, but only the external design differs. And the ring for the New Year's wreath on the table is approximately the same for different options. There are two most used types: wire base and cardboard base. Of course, you can make a circle out of paper, wood, foam, or not use a base at all. However, the use of cardboard or wire will help make the product more durable. So, let's start with the basics.

A wreath can be made from cardboard

The wreath ring can be made of metal or cardboard

The use of wire can make the wreath more durable

Wreath ring

First, decide on the size of the future wreath. It depends on its location. If you plan to decorate the table, remember that it should be neat and not interfere with the food, but at the same time noticeable at the holiday.

So, first, draw a circle on a piece of paper that matches the size of your future wreath. Now cut the amount of wire to fit the circumference. We calculate its size using the presented formula:

C = 2nr

Where C corresponds to the circumference, n is a mathematical constant equal to 3.14, r is the radius of the circle. You can measure the radius with a ruler and calculate the required wire length using the proposed formula. You can also use another method, and by applying the wire to the sketch of the circle, determine the required length. It’s even easier to form a circle “on the fly” without precise calculations.

In any case, we have decided on the length. Now twist its ends using pliers to form a circle. Depending on what the next layers are made of, wind one or two more layers of wire, fastening them all together. Ready.

The cardboard ring is made without a blank. A circle of the required diameter is drawn on a sheet of cardboard. Next, a certain distance from the outer line is set aside at four points of the circle (so that the inner one turns out even). The inner circle is drawn using the marked points. Now we remove it without disturbing the external one. So we only have the headband left. These are the rings for the New Year's wreath, on which decorative elements are attached.

Now the base is ready, and with its use we can start making Christmas decorations using various materials.

First of all, you need to decide on the size of the wreath.

It’s much easier to make a wreath on the go, rather than counting every centimeter

Christmas tree branches

It is worth paying tribute to tradition. The symbol of the New Year, and in Western countries, where this tradition came to us, and Christmas, is the New Year tree. A wreath made of fir branches is perfect as a decoration for a door, window, or table.

To create it, use both wire and cardboard bases. It is better to wrap the latter in a thick layer of paper to add volume. Now we prepare the decorative part. Take spruce or pine branches (with short needles), cut them into small pieces, prepare glue and yarn. Additionally, you can use pine cones, satin bows, artificial berries, bells, etc. But don’t overdo it. It is advisable to mix no more than three colors (in our case, green, red and gold).

Now let's start with the layout. It is carried out in two ways.

Regarding fasteners, you can:

tie the branches to the base using threads;
glue them using polymer glue.

The most popular is a wreath made of spruce branches

Toys, pine cones, and ribbons are suitable for decorating a wreath.

To create such a wreath, you can use cardboard and wire.

As for the appearance, we make the wreath in the following variations.

“Russed”, arranging the branches in a chaotic manner. To do this they must be short. Place them on the glue so that they stick up. Fill in the gaps and add braid, pine cones, etc.
“Smooth” compared to the first option. To do this, we tie the ring so that the branches are on both sides, and they are attached to the inside of the ring. This way they will be directed in one direction (from the inside to the outside), and we will get a relatively smooth and voluminous wreath. For this option you will need flexible and long branches.

A wreath of holly, fir or mistletoe is made in the same way. You can find it in flower shops or grow it in the garden. This amazing plant also remains green throughout the year.

The wreath can be made smooth by placing the branches in one direction

By arranging the branches in a chaotic order, you can get a voluminous wreath

Natural materials

Other natural materials that are quite suitable for making a New Year's wreath for the table with your own hands include pine cones, acorns, nuts, tangerines (dried), and berries.

For these materials, it is better to use a cardboard base, tying it with a large layer of paper or fabric (for volume). The best way to secure it is with glue.

You can make a wreath made entirely of pine cones. So, paint them the same color, different ones, or leave them natural brown. The pine cones also make excellent company for tangerines and cinnamon sticks. Gifts from a squirrel - nuts and acorns - look good together.

It is better to dilute such compositions with green color, using natural green leaves or a few sprigs of pine needles. It will also work well to keep the entire composition brown by adding twine or burlap to it.

Natural materials can be used for decoration

Pine cones are perfect for decorating a wreath

For natural materials it is better to use a cardboard base

Fabric and thread

By the way, about burlap. Use it yourself too. This is a great material for creating a warm, rustic atmosphere.

Create a wreath using burlap squares. We cut out identical squares and modify them as desired. We suggest folding them, turning the edges, and placing them overlapping each other. This way fill the entire circle. Add some greenery and a bright bow to the composition.

Another option. Cut a long piece of not very stiff burlap, fold it in half and sew it together. Then, using a needle and thread, sew a stitch down the center, gathering the fabric a little (to create an “accordion”). Here we have an airy and light wreath. Use it without a base, or secure the resulting element on a cardboard ring, diluting it with decorative elements (bells, stars, berries, etc.).

We present an original idea using threads. A wreath of colorful balls. This option looks great both on the door and on the table, symbolizing home comfort and warmth. It is made as follows.

Make balls of wool of varying sizes. The threads should be woven as freely as possible to make the balls light. Then sew or glue the resulting balls to the cardboard base in a chaotic manner, quite tightly. Knit a small fabric from the same threads. Sew it to several balls and stick the knitting needles. This idea looks creative and adds a special coziness.

You can use fabric and thread to decorate the wreath

This wreath looks very beautiful and gives the room a special atmosphere.

Tinsel and Christmas tree toys

New Year's tinsel is a material that is found in every home and is a symbol of the New Year. It will also make a wonderful Christmas wreath.

Here we will use a wire base. It is enough to wrap a large amount of rain around it to create a voluminous silhouette, and the wreath is ready. We dilute it with cones, acorns, sweets, and New Year's balls. By combining several colors of New Year's tinsel, you will get a wreath with a pattern that does not require additional elements.

The mentioned New Year's balls, like other Christmas tree decorations, can be used independently. The principle is the same. Secure them to the wire frame with a thread, and the wreath is ready.

There are also many ideas: use pasta, socks, ties, beans, clothespins, sweets... In general, whatever comes to your mind. The main thing is to have a festive mood while working.

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

It doesn’t matter what material the wreath is made from, you cannot do without a base on which the decorative elements will be attached. You can buy it in a store or make it yourself in the desired size. Different materials are used to make the base:

Cardboard . This is one of the simplest and most popular options. A ring is cut out of cardboard using a ready-made or self-drawn stencil. It makes an excellent base. It can be covered with colored paper or, if necessary, given volume using newspaper or wrapping paper tied with rope or wire to a cardboard blank.

Newspapers . Newspapers are rolled into bundles, formed into a ring of the required size and wrapped in paper. If a wide base is needed, then newspapers are rolled into tubes and several layers are glued together until the desired size is obtained.

Aluminum baking dish or paper plate . Making a base for a wreath out of it is very simple: you just need to cut off the bottom to make a ring.

Plastic bottles . The bottom is cut off and fastened together with glue or tape, forming a ring.
Styrofoam . The base for the future wreath is cut out of packaging foam according to a template.

Insulation for pipes . They make a very practical and convenient base for a wreath. You can select the insulation of the desired diameter and roll it into a ring, securing the ends with tape.

Toilet paper rolls . They are connected to each other, forming a ring, and secured with tape.

Wire . A ring is formed from the wire and the ends are fastened.

Metal hanger . If you don't have thick wire in your house, a regular metal clothes hanger can replace it. Using pliers, separate it and form a circle of the desired size.

Twigs and vines . This is the traditional basis for a New Year's wreath. It may be a little more difficult to make than the others, but the result is amazing. The branches can be simply fastened with wire or tied with threads, or weaved into a base of willow twigs or vines. In any case, it will turn out original.

Base for a Christmas wreath

Making any Christmas wreath begins with preparing the base. Some people use cardboard, others wire. We invite you to learn how to make a simple base for a Christmas wreath from birch branches with your own hands.

To make it you will need:

Birch branches;
Leg-split;
Scissors

You need to make a Christmas wreath from branches on the same day you collected them. Otherwise, they will begin to dry out and break during operation.

If it is necessary to postpone the work, we bend the rods into a ring and tie them together. Alternatively, they can be soaked in water before work.

We sort birch branches by size and immediately remove excess leaves, side branches, and twigs from them.

We start weaving the base with thick twigs of medium length.

From the selected branches we form a circle. We lay out the blanks so that the thick edge of one branch coincides with the thin edge of the other.

We tie twine to the edge of one rope.

We braid the rope around the first branch.

We tie the thick edge of the second branch.

And we continue to weave the rods until we get a circle.

We ended up with a not entirely even frame, which we will work with. Its flaws will be eliminated in the future, so there is no point in trying to give the frame an ideal shape at this stage.

We attach another branch to the frame and secure it with twine.

We wrap the frame with a long twig.

We continue to weave a wreath from branches, adding new long rods.

When the base becomes dense enough, you can weave the branches without tying them with twine. This will give the impression that the wreath is woven from a single vine.

Now you can level the base, giving it an even shape. You need to work with branches carefully, as they, despite their flexibility, can break.

The finished wreath can be placed under a press overnight.

All that remains is to decorate the base for the Christmas wreath made of twigs. To do this, you can use any available materials: pine needles, ribbons, bows, bells, beads.

Add a few Christmas tree decorations.
