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 step is to construct a frame on which coniferous branches and decorations will later be attached. 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. Can be purchased finished goods, 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

Below you will see many photos of ideas for New Year's wreaths with different decorations. But generally speaking, no matter what the wreath itself is made of, it is decorated with:

• berries (real or artificial) - rowan, rosehip, viburnum, mistletoe;
• dried citrus slices - oranges, lemons or whole tangerines;
• shells of walnuts and other nuts or whole nuts;
• fir cones;
• apples;
• flowers;
• ribbons of any colors or threads;
• Christmas balls;
• bells;
• all kinds of figures, including angels, snowmen, Santa Claus, houses, birds;
• cinnamon sticks;
• tinsel;
• snowflakes;
• sweets.

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 tubes from toilet paper and paper towels.

	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.

Made from spruce or pine spruce branches

Now let's move on to the most interesting part - making a wreath. In the best traditions, the wreath will be made from spruce or pine branches. It will fill the house with a pine aroma and will look very New Year's. Branches can be attached one at a time - using twine, hot glue, or green wire. Moreover, they do this in such a way that the lower part of the branch is covered by the fluffy part of the other. You can first tie the branches in small bunches and tie them in this form to the base.

Watch the master class, here is a step-by-step presentation of the process of making a wreath from natural spruce branches from start to finish.

	Make a base out of cardboard.
	Draw two circles with a compass or use a plate or lid from a frying pan or pot for this.
	Cut with scissors.
	Crumple up the sheets of paper and wrap them around a cardboard ring.
	If the spruce branches are large, divide them into small branches.
	Glue the branches to the base using hot glue.
	Cover the wreath so that there are no gaps.
	Take real pine cones.
	Buy artificial branches with berries.
	You will also need a bell...
	and red yarn.
	Wrap the yarn around the wreath.
	Place the pine cones on the glue.
	Attach artificial berries in random order.
	Decorate with a bell.
	Spray artificial snow on the branches.
	The resulting wreath looks absolutely New Year's, and also exudes a pleasant pine aroma.

It is not necessary to use natural branches; you can get by with artificial ones. You've probably seen spruce garlands on sale. It’s very easy to make a wreath from such a garland.

Photo ideas for decorating a wreath of fir branches

Replace the branches with tinsel

Visually, green tinsel looks like fir branches. If you wrap it around the base circle, you will get a wreath very similar to a spruce one.

Video: tinsel wreath

Although you can use tinsel not only green, but also any other color.

Options for tinsel wreaths

Wreath made from deciduous tree branches

Another option is to make a wreath from branches. Thin birch, willow branches or grapevines are suitable for this purpose. They are twisted into a tight circle and most often wrapped with twine; it matches the color well and is almost invisible. A wreath made of branches can serve as a frame for decorating with pine needles, rosemary, and branches with berries.

This wreath is made of grapevine, decorated with rosemary and laurel.

	Have on hand all the tools and materials you will need to make the wreath.
	These are sprigs of rosemary and laurel.
	Floral wire, wire wrapped in twine, garden pliers, side cutters.
	Roll a grapevine wreath.
	Use floral wire instead of hot glue so you can use the wreath again next year with a different decor.
	Don't overcomplicate the wreath. Use a few branches of plants, decorations with natural motifs and a bright ribbon - this will be enough.
	It is better to use a ribbon with wire inside so that the bow holds its shape.
	Attach the decor to the wreath.

This wreath is made from birch branches, and no other plants are used for decoration. But this is its charm.

	Take 9-10 thin branches - birch or others, for example, a grapevine looks good in a wreath.
	Twist the branches into a circle and secure with twine. Choose the thickness of the wreath at your discretion.
	Gold and red jewelry were chosen for decoration. Yellow color and gold as its shade are trendy this year.
	Wrap the wreath with beads.
	Tie up a few Christmas balls.

Cones as the main decorative element

Do you know how to make a New Year's wreath from pine cones? No tricks here. It is enough to tightly cover the base with pine cones and you will already have a good option. And if you also paint it with spray paint in gold, red, pink or green - whatever color you want - and decorate it, then it will turn out great. Look at the implementation of one of the ideas.

	First, paint the pine cones with white spray varnish. Be sure to lay newspaper or oilcloth underneath. Leave for some time to dry.
	For decoration we use: a ribbon for a large bow 5 cm wide, and multi-colored ribbons 1 cm wide for small bows. Colors to suit your taste, artificial berries, bells, Christmas tree decorations without a holder.
	Let's make bows for decoration. Place two loops and tie them together. Cut off the excess.
	Hot glue a small piece of ribbon of a different color in the middle of the bow to create a center and close the knot.
	Decorate the bow with rhinestones.
	Make a large bow according to the same instructions.
	Draw a ring on the cardboard. A stencil can be a frying pan lid or a plate. Cut out the workpiece.
	Take the twine and hot glue the end to the cardboard ring.
	Patiently wrap the ring with twine without any gaps. Secure the tip again with hot glue.
	Glue the cones so that it looks as natural as possible.
	Decorate the wreath with bows, bells, and toys.

Pine cone wreaths look unusual and beautiful, you can see this by looking at a selection of photographs.

Lots of paper ideas

When there are no spruce branches, branches, or cones at hand, they make do with paper. And interesting products are obtained. Some of them are as beautiful as wreaths made from natural materials. You can create with paper with your children; it doesn’t crack like a Christmas tree, and it’s easy to work with.

	It's easy to make a New Year's wreath from cardboard and crumpled paper.
	Cut a circle out of cardboard, an old one will do cardboard box from under some kind of technology.
	Cut the corrugated paper into pieces of approximately 10x10 cm. How many parts are needed depends on the size of the cardboard ring and the “terryness” of the wreath.
	Remember the pieces with your hands and glue them onto a cardboard ring.
	Place the parts close enough to each other so that there are no gaps.
	Cut a strip of crumpled red paper and twist it with your fingers as shown in the photo.
	Decorate the wreath.

This option is a great idea for recycling old wrapping paper. Of course, it is also not prohibited to use a new one. Such wreaths are also made from book or magazine pages or scrap paper.

	Prepare wrapping paper.
	For the base, cut out a ring from thick paper or cardboard.
	Cut a lot of wrapping paper leaves. Evenness doesn't matter, although you can use a template if you want. You will need approximately 70 leaves.
	Glue the leaves to the ring as shown in the photo. If you use different papers, remember to alternate patterns. If there are any leaves left, you can glue them into places that seem empty. Make a loop of twine or ribbon, wrap it around the wreath and thread the ends through the hole. You can hang a wreath.

We collect from Christmas tree decorations

A New Year's wreath can be assembled from only Christmas tree balls. It doesn't need expensive balls. Check out FIX PRICE before the new year, you will find what you need there. With a little investment, you can create a beautiful, rich wreath. Choose different toys that harmonize with each other in color and decorate with ribbons.

	To make this beautiful wreath, we used 6 packages of 12 balloons each and a few other red decorations that were lying around from last year. The wreath will be assembled on a frame made from a hanger. These are sold, for example, in Auchan. In addition, you will need tape, wire and pliers.
	Shape the hanger into as circle a shape as possible.
	Use pliers to unwind the wire.
	Use pliers to straighten the tip as much as possible.
	String the balls one at a time.
	Move them as close to each other as possible so that the wire does not show between them.
	Continue stringing the decorations, allowing them to be positioned at different angles.
	Soon it will look like this.
	If the decorations do not stick well to the wire, secure them with hot glue.
	Continue stringing the balls.
	When all the balls are already strung, twist the hanger again with pliers.
	This is how the wreath turned out.
	Take the wire tape.
	Wrap it around the hook a couple of times. Secure the back with tape or hot glue.
	Place several loops of ribbon.
	Tie the bow with another piece of ribbon. For reliability, you can drip a drop of hot glue inside.

We make New Year's attributes from fabric

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 sides inward lengthwise and stitch along 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.
