If you are reading these lines, it means you have decided to make a Christmas wreath with your own hands. And it means you will definitely succeed. So, let's begin...

Coniferous Christmas wreath, or Classics of the genre

For a classic Christmas wreath you will need:You will need a rigid frame in the shape of a ring, pine branches, decorations and something to assemble the wreath with: soft wire, thread or glue. The easiest way to make a frame is from strong wire. If the wire is thin, you can fold it in several layers. If you don’t have wire, use any suitable material for the frame, such as cardboard or a ring from an embroidery hoop. Roll the wire into a ring of the desired diameter and secure it with electrical tape. Cut branches for the wreath (pine, spruce, cypress, holly, fir) from 10 to 25 cm long. You can also use branches from an artificial Christmas tree or green matte tinsel put on wires of the desired length. Then braid the frame in a circle with these branches. Secure them with copper wire, thread or glue. To make the wreath lush, it is advisable to make two or three layers of coniferous covering. The main thing is that the next layer is woven against the course of the previous circle. The Christmas wreath is almost ready. It remains to decorate it. Use whatever you like for decoration:

• ribbons and bows (red, blue, golden, checkered, striped and any others);
• small fur-tree toys (angels, balls, asterisks, small houses, bells, etc.);
• natural or gilded (silvered) cones;
• live or artificial flowers (roses or punchets);
• fruit (tangerines, apples, lemons, nuts);
• berries (mountain ash, viburnum, wild rose);
• sweets (cookies, sweets, gingerbreads);
• candles (only for a horizontal wreath).

As you can see, make a classic Christmasa wreath with your own hands is very simple. A little imagination and the right mood will help you make this (so homey and cozy) New Year's accessory unique. By the way, for an exclusive wreath you can use other (the most unexpected) materials.
