Christmas wreaths come in all shapes and sizes these days. We love a big, green traditional wreath of holly and ivy, but if you fancy something a little different, we have a few ideas…
Simply take a wreath base (foam or metal, depending on what you’re using. You can even use chicken wire or a piece of foam swimming pool noodle, with the ends secured to each other. Collect your materials together, heat up the glue gun and start sticking your materials all over the surface of your wreath. More is definitely more here! If you need a little inspiration have a read of our list below.
Baubles
Origami flowers
Gingerbread biscuits in festive shapes (watch out for foxes though!)
Pinecones
Dried orange slices
Jigsaw Puzzle pieces
Nuts in their shells
Crocheted snowflakes
Brussels sprouts
Candy canes and other sweets
The picture above is from our feature ‘Farm to Front Door’ from our December issue in which we meet Olivia Carter who grows flowers and runs wreath workshops from her family farm in Devon.
