How to make a Christmas Wreath by S. Roberts
Christmas wreaths are an old Christmas tradition that is used to decorate the outside of the house, typically on the front door,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to give Christmas time visitors a festive greeting.
To make a Christmas wreath you will need a wreath ring, florist wire (you can get these cheaply from our local florist) and some vegetation.
Take a walk around your local park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your garden or in the countryside. Take a bag and some scissors with you and collect interesting vegetation to make a Christmas wreath. Under no circumstances should you pick plants from other people's gardens unless you have their permission to do so.
Collect evergreens, ivy and loral leave are good. Some leaves are a silvery grey; these add a frosty feeling to the wreath. Conifers are popular in people's gardens. Do you have a conifer in your garden? Conifers don't have overly interesting foliage but they make a great base to the wreath.
Also look out for holly or other shrubs that bear berries. Berries add colour to the wreath. Look out for dried seedpods such as poppies, teasels and pinecones. Seedpods can be spray painted silver or gold and used to add interest to the wreath. If you do intend to use spray paint any pieces do this well in advance of the day you intend to make the wreath to give the paint enough time to dry. When using spray paint always closely follow the direction of use printed on the back of the tin.
To make the wreath
To attach pieces of foliage to the wreath ring you cut to piece to length and wrap the wire around the lower end of the foliage and then twist the wire around the wreath ring with another piece of wire. Repeat this procedure an inch or two further down the stem.
During the first round of the wreath the foliage will slide around a little bit but the more you put on the more stable it will become. Keep your work flat on a tabletop to prevent movement.
Much of building the wreath is to place your foliage to make something pleasing to the eye, with interest around the whole of the wreath.
However there are some general rules of the thumb.
Use the inner and outer rings as separate 'rounds' filling both rings makes a full plush wreath.
You will find that you can make rounds appear to have a direction. This is when the stems all lay the same way. Wreaths look best if a round follows the same direction. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the two rings on the wreath ring don't necessarily have to go in the same direction.
The more you add,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the better it looks.
Save the 'feature' or fancier pieces until last so that they sit on the top layer of the wreath where they can be seen.
To add pine cones, wrap some wore around the bottom layer of the cone seeds, and twist the two wire stems firmly together and push the wire into the wreath and twist them together at the back of the wreath. You could also wire on Christmas baubles.
When the wreath is finished hang it on your front door for all to see and appreciate.
