How to make a wreath from an artificial Christmas tree. Fixing the decor to the door. Almost out of waste

It's time to choose which to make a wreath of cones for the new year, or maybe not from cones at all. Today I have not only the wreaths themselves, but I also want to show the principles of how to design them, how to decorate them and what materials are suitable for this.


From photos, videos and descriptions, I made a very variegated collection, which includes:

  • Ribbons on spruce branches;
  • Tree branches;
  • Yarn;
  • Vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits;
  • The tapes themselves;
  • Cones;
  • Christmas tree wreath;
  • Stuffed Toys;
  • Fatin;
  • Candles.

And in my collection, you will find an assembly of tips from which to make the base for the wreath. I'll start with this!

Basis for construction

Before we start talking about how to decorate a wreath, let's see what all the beauty will hold on to. There are 7 great options. And I'll introduce you to them now. I will voice the principles why it is worth staying at one or another option. Perhaps you yourself will think of something! Then I'm waiting for your comments, share your ideas and suggest your options!

a) Pigtail made of strips of thick knit


Very bright! There is a background for the future drawing. In addition, you can not only knit such a base from yarn, but also weave it from strips of fabric. The plus is that such a base is elegant itself, which means that it can be decorated with a remembered one.

b) From wire. Or from a hanger.


If you have a wire ramp, you can shape it into a circle. This foundation is solid. She already has a hanging hook. How to hang decor on a thin wire:


And from the wire itself it is even faster and easier to make a structure.

c) Pipe insulation


Choose the thickness yourself. The most optimal thickness is for thin pipes.

We connect the edges. We tie the "pipe" with a ribbon to make the background attractive.

The advantage of this option is the simplicity and lightness of the model.

d) Cardboard


Cut 2 stencils from cardboard, as on Photo ... This is enough to keep the model strong. But you can also add volume if you add a twisted newspaper to the structure. And then tie everything together with a ribbon.

e) Branches

Willow branches bend well. You can cut them in advance, give them a round shape and dry them.

But what if there is no willow, birch or pussy willow nearby? You can use both straight and even dry branches. But it will be a rectangular model (but you can make a triangle and a star).
And there is also one simple way to make the base quickly - boil the branches and leave them to cool in the desired shape. More details on the video

And one more option, but already from short sticks, which we attach with a glue gun.

f) Embroidery hoop

They already have the shape we need. Only a wreath of them will be small.

g) Newspaper


I have already started talking about how to make a base out of cardboard and newspaper. But even the newspaper itself will make a good and solid foundation.

Roll several layers of newspaper tightly. Make a circle. Rewind with cloth for bonding.

All of these tools are available. They will not weigh down the structure. And they can be made durable.

And now the top 10 wreaths and ideas for them

Here only most beautiful crafts from different materials!

Bright ribbons on Christmas tree branches


The accent in this wreath is on a bright bow of beautiful ribbons.

How to make this wreath:

  • The branches of the Christmas tree can be both natural and artificial. Cut into small pieces, approximately 10-15cm in length.
  • Glue them to the base to make the wreath "fluffy"
  • Glue snowflakes and toys on top.
  • Make a voluminous bow out of two ribbons and fix it on the model.

Very smart! Any color scheme can be used. The thickness of the wreath is your choice.

White toys on willow branches


Freshly cut willow branches easily twist into a ring. If you do this in advance, you can get a wonderful wreath.

  • Choose white and silver toys and balls.
  • Create an interesting decor from them.
  • Glue in small spruce branches.

Focus on the color and shape of the toys that you have in stock. You can even come up with a non-one-color ornament.

Pom poms


How to make pompons, I'll tell you step by step :


Our ornament will consist of such pompons.

The second option is to make thread pompons. They turn out to be small, just to diversify our wreath.


Pompom on a fork

But what fruits can be made:

Dried oranges


It is not essential to use oranges or just oranges. You can dry round blanks from apples, lemons, grapefruit, etc.

Ribbon bows


It couldn't be easier! These bows are so easy to make.


They are simply imposed on the form.

Interesting colors from several ribbons.

From felt or napkins

For this wreath, you can use napkins or felt, whichever material you like best.


Fold the strip in half lengthwise and twist the "rose", glue it onto the base.

Cones


There are a lot of ideas for this design:








The main rule to remember is that it is easiest to combine natural materials with other natural materials to create a harmonious composition. Not everyone, even experienced master florists, can beautifully combine cones with balls or shiny garlands. But cones with branches, acorns, nuts, sisal, twine are much easier to combine for a beginner.
The easiest way to glue the cones is with hot melt glue.

  • We wrap the circle with burlap. We fix the edges and all over the base with glue.
  • We glue the blanks on the burlap with a dense pattern.
  • We paint over some blanks like a flower. Or, and more berries, we decorate a wreath.
  • We make a loop from an elegant ribbon.

Christmas tree made of ribbons and thin fabric


It's all about the huge number of folds that we will make from the fabric.

Take:

  • a triangular base with threads wound along and across it;
  • a large piece of fabric;
  • small jewelry made of beads, small cones, dried berries or twisted roses.

We master:

  • We attach the fabric to the top of the triangle.
  • And then, going down, we make a lot of horizontal folds. We fix them to the thread base.
  • We turn the edge of the fabric inward so that it does not crumble and bristle.
  • Decorate with "toys", attach a "star" on top!

Even plots are created using this model:


And most importantly, no tricks! There is a support. And different toys are fixed to it.

Tulle snowflake


This snowflake looks amazing! It turns out that making it is very simple:

You now have room to choose the color, shape, and decor for your wreath.

The tradition of decorating the interior with greenery for Christmas has ancient roots. She came to us from the west relatively recently. Christmas wreaths can be either real or artificial. The first, in addition to beauty, have a magnificent pine aroma. Traditional wreaths are often decorated with fir cones, ribbons, red berries, dried oranges and cinnamon sticks. The shelf life of such masterpieces depends on the location. Outdoors, when sprinkled with water, the wreath is pleasing to the eye for four to five weeks. Indoors, it will stay fresh for up to two weeks, depending on how warm it is in the house.

The symbolism of the wreath is multifaceted. In the Christian religion, he symbolized immortality, but his roots are pre-Christian. Wreaths can be seen in different interpretations in many cultures around the world. Deciduous decorations are first mentioned in Roman society. They were associated with sports victories. To this day, laurel wreaths are present on the engravings of modern Olympic medals. In Roman times, this symbol was used to denote status and victory, and was also worn as a headdress during weddings and other celebrations. It is likely that the wreaths, after use, began to be hung on the wall in the house.

The evergreen wreath and its round shape are not only an emblem of perfection and unity, but also the heat-loving sun. The use of evergreen leaves in Christmas decoration is a reflection of the continuity of life and nature during the height of winter. Later they became a Christian symbol of the suffering of Christ and the final triumph over death. It is believed that the wreath with pointed leaves was originally a crown of thorns worn by Christ on the cross, and the small red berries symbolized his drops of blood. Later, wreaths were formed from pine and spruce branches, denoting eternal life.
In the west, a wreath on the door or in the window is considered as an invitation to the holiday itself to enter the house and bring good luck. Many Russians decorate their homes for decor and self-expression. Any handicraft made from natural materials brings a sense of joy and a desire for peace.

The base of the wreath can also be a ring of thick wire or a metal hanger, which is bent into a circle. Metal must be covered with twine or cloth.

Description of the Christmas wreath

Traditionally, the Lutheran Christmas wreath has four candles that illuminate the world with their glow. They also notify about. Candles are lit in turn, starting with the first, four weeks before the holiday. Thus, the room is lit up with light and filled with warmth on the last Sunday before Christmas.

Each lit candle has its own name and meaning:

  • The Candle of Prophecy speaks of the imminent coming of Christ;
  • With the lighting of the Bethlehem Candle, they begin to prepare for the meeting of Jesus;
  • Together with the Shepherd's Candle, people share their faith in Christ, like the shepherds who told about his birth.
  • The Angelic Candle completes all four lighting and announces the coming of the Savior together with the Angels.

It is unlikely that anyone will remember now what a Christmas wreath of spruce branches hanging on the front door means, especially since in Russia the traditions and attributes of Christmas were replaced by New Year's with Soviet overtones almost 100 years ago.

DIY Christmas wreaths

Originally, the Christmas wreath was nothing more than a calendar! And on the eve of Christmas, Hamburg theologian Johann Hinrich Wiecher came up with the idea of ​​lighting a small red candle on a wreath of spruce every morning, symbolizing a weekday, and a large white candle, meaning Sunday. The fact is that his little children constantly asked their father when Christmas would come. That is why he decided to put such an unusual calendar on the table, which later became one of the symbols of the holiday, moving to the front door to meet guests.

But despite the fact that this decoration is currently considered Western, gradually Russian needlewomen are mastering its manufacture, and not only in ordinary technique and from familiar materials, but also from everything that only the heart desires.

Christmas wreath of branches

A Christmas wreath made from coniferous branches is a traditional version of this festive decoration.

If you have doubts about which branches are the best and most correct way to make a Christmas wreath, then there really are no strict regulations, simply because the tradition of making a wreath itself has undergone significant changes several times during its existence.

We cut out a ring of those sizes from cardboard, which will be our future wreath. Next, you need to make the frame voluminous, for this you need thick paper. Squeezing and twisting the paper, we tie it with a string or wire to a cardboard ring. The structure should turn out to be quite dense and even, therefore, you should additionally walk the rope along its entire diameter, tightening and compacting the paper.

  • Then attach the branches to the frame.

The spruce branch must be disassembled into shorter ones and then each of them must be attached with wire, rope or glue of your choice to the frame. The twigs should be fastened in the same direction, and also immediately fill in the white areas so that the structure looks more natural and beautiful.

  • In conclusion, you need to decorate the wreath.

To decorate a Christmas wreath, you can choose from:

  • cones;
  • Christmas balls;
  • walnut shells;
  • dried rowan berries;
  • satin ribbons, etc.

You can decorate a wreath with anything you want. The main thing is to decide in advance on the color scheme (usually spruce branches are decorated in red colors), and not to overdo it, leaving the opportunity to admire the needles, which you so diligently attached to the frame. Also, do not forget that all parts must be literally glued tightly for safety reasons, especially if there are small children in the house.

The option of making a Christmas wreath on a cardboard ring is not the only one possible. Perhaps for someone it will seem more acceptable and simpler way to make a wreath on a wire frame.

For such a wreath you will need:

  • wire, for example, aluminum;
  • branches of a coniferous plant;
  • rope or thin wire;
  • glue gun;
  • elements for decoration.

Procedure for making a wire-based wreath:

  • We twist the wire into a ring of the desired diameter. Depending on the softness of the wire, we wrap it one or more times to ensure the rigidity of the structure.
  • We begin to fasten the spruce branches with a thin wire or rope to a thick wire frame. The branches are attached in one direction, for example, clockwise, and with an overlap. The more branches there are, the richer and more beautiful the wreath itself will be.
  • We decorate the resulting wreath with any decorations of your choice, not forgetting to attach them with a glue gun for reliability.

Only cardboard or only wire frames can turn out to be not very strong or too flexible, so you can use an option that combines the advantages of each of them to make a frame for a Christmas wreath.

Christmas wreaths made from scrap materials

Losing its original meaning over time, the Christmas wreath takes on a new and new design, which sometimes, it seems, no longer has anything to do with either New Year or Christmas.

Only the shape of the circle remains unchanged, without which the wreath would cease to be.

In addition to the calendar designation of the expectation of the birth of Christ, the wreath acquired new meanings that stemmed from its round shape. A wreath lying on a table with four candles was associated with the globe and the indicated cardinal points. In addition, the circle is a symbol of the wheel or eternal life, which will give the Resurrection of Christ.

One way or another, there are many options for the execution of this Christmas decoration, each of which is easy to repeat yourself and then decorate your home for the holiday.

From tinsel

A Christmas wreath made of tinsel most of all resembles a wreath of spruce branches, therefore it is in second place in terms of preferences in the manufacture of this festive idea.

To make such a wreath, you will need to make a frame according to one of the options described above, namely, on the basis of a cardboard or wire ring. Whichever frame you choose, it will need to be reinforced with newspapers in order for the wreath to be voluminous, creating the illusion of splendor of the decoration.

Then the base must be literally wrapped in tinsel, avoiding gaps, and in order for the rain to hold well, fix its ends on the wreath frame with liquid nails (glue gun). After the base is decorated with tinsel, you can attach any decorations to your taste. Usually they use red satin ribbons and balls on a green background.

Cones

To make a wreath of cones you will need:

  • cardboard and newsprint for the frame;
  • cones of any size;
  • glue gun;
  • paint cans on request.

To make a Christmas wreath from cones at home, you need to cut a ring out of cardboard, the diameter of which corresponds to the future wreath. Twisting, attach newspaper sheets to a cardboard ring, creating volume. And then to the resulting base, you need to glue the cones one by one so that there are no gaps left. Small round cones should be fastened close to each other, elongated cones should be glued with an overlap, just like spruce branches. If desired, the finished wreath or each cone separately can be painted over from a spray can with gold, white or silver paint before gluing. Of course, other elements like ribbons or dried rowan berries can also be used for a pine cone-based Christmas wreath.

From sweets

A Christmas wreath made of candies is practically no different from a wreath of cones. The main task in its manufacture is to stock up on a sufficient amount of your favorite sweets and glue them to the frame so that it is easy to unfold and eat them. That is why, in this case, candies in foil and those with a candy wrapper tied on top of a pyramid candy are best suited.

From paper

There are several ways to make a paper Christmas wreath:

  • String mugs, for example, corrugated, on the wire frame. The more details are strung and the lighter and more delicate the paper from which they are made, the more airy and delicate the wreath looks.
  • Glue paper elements to the frame, like cones or candy earlier. Such a wreath is notable for the fact that paper figures can represent anything, forming together, for example, a biblical story.
  • Glue a purchased foam frame in one layer, say, newspaper and attach a few paper flowers or other details. Such a wreath looks very conceptual and will perfectly complement the designer interior of a modern young man's city apartment.

From Christmas balls

It is perhaps the easiest way to make a Christmas wreath from Christmas balls. For this you will need:

  • wire and tools for bending it (for example, pliers);
  • glue gun;
  • a large number of Christmas balls of different sizes.

How to make a wreath of balloons:

  • For safety reasons and for the strength of the structure, it is worth glueing the Christmas balls at the point where they join the metal suspension. So the ball will be guaranteed to be attached to the wire, will not fall or break at the most inopportune moment.
  • Then you need to round off the wire, but do not rush to hook it into a ring.
  • We begin to string the balls on the wire, like beads on a string, with the only difference that there must be a lot of balls and they must all "look" in different directions, making the wreath "lush". When all the balls are strung, we make a hitch from the ends of the wire, similar to a loop in a chain. You can cover it with a satin ribbon bow. The wreath is ready!

Rustic style

If you are planning to hang a Christmas wreath in a country style interior, then this is the option.

For this design, you can use natural materials: burlap, cones, jute strings.

The base of such a wreath can be made from a cardboard circle or from a wire twisted to a certain diameter.

If you are working with cardboard, then just glue small pieces of burlap on it, folded, as in the photo. You can make the decor and a solid canvas, making a drapery of burlap and gluing it in the right places.

If your wreath is made of wire, then you can use a padding polyester (or ordinary newspapers) to wind and add volume, on top of which you can wind strips of burlap or other natural material in a spiral.

As a decor for such a country wreath, cones painted with white acrylic paint, jute bows and figurines of trees and deer cut from colored cardboard are used.

This kind of Christmas wreath will be a great addition to a rustic room.

Eco-style Christmas wreath

The ecological decoration of the interior on New Year's holidays will be emphasized by a wreath made of vines.

Such a decoration can be made in literally a matter of minutes. We need:

  • pre-prepared vine;
  • Christmas tree branches;
  • cones;
  • acorns;
  • berries, small apples;
  • natural fabric tapes.

Twist a few of the vines into a circle. You can strengthen the structure if you wrap the rods with strong thread or an additional thin branch of the vine.

Then use a glue gun to attach the decorative items. These can be ordinary pine or spruce cones, sprigs of needles, acorns, rose hips, etc.

Of course, you need to take care of creating such a wreath in advance, even in the fall, having prepared everything you need.

Beautiful bows made from natural materials will perfectly complement the composition.

It is easy to see from the example of several workshops that making a Christmas wreath by yourself at home is not so difficult. In order to enjoy your wreath for a single year, you need:

  • Pay great attention to the base of the wreath. A sturdy frame that does not lose shape when dropped or pressed is half the battle.
  • Stock up on enough decor material. Whatever you choose - twigs, cones or candies - it is better if there are a lot of them than not enough. It is important to adhere to the concept to the end, without leaving any voids on the wreath.
  • Don't make a dump out of the wreath. If you are not confident in your ability to beautifully combine a large number of details, it is better to take as a basis only three elements, for example, twigs, ribbons and balls or twigs, cones and beads.

By following these tips and using master classes, you will certainly be able to please yourself and your loved ones with a beautiful and high-quality one that will decorate your door not only this year.

Very often, to decorate a room, to create a festive mood, needlewomen create wreaths. A decorative wreath can be made for any holiday. But sometimes, when creating it, a difficulty arises at the very beginning of the creative process - there is no basis for a wreath. Today I will tell you about 10 ways to make a base for a wreath with your own hands.

The first way



The easiest and most expensive one is to buy a ready-made base for a wreath in a store. Ready-made bases are made of polystyrene, grapevine, rotogan, straw, iron rods. You yourself choose the material that best suits your composition.

Second way

The second method was suggested by Igor Linnik. First, it is necessary to cut out the stencil-base of the future wreath from cardboard. By the way, it doesn't have to be a ring, it can be any shape - a circle, a star, a heart.
Next, using some thick paper (wrapping paper, newspaper), you need to create a volume for the future wreath. The paper must be tightly squeezed and, using a rope or wire, connected to a cardboard stencil, carefully aligning it.
The result is an excellent base for a wreath.

The third way

The base for the wreath is easy to make from paper, even without a stencil. Simply shaping with your hands the shape you have in mind. We can say that this is a lightweight version of the previous method.

Fourth way

You can make a base for a wreath out of paper in another way. Roll tubes from newspapers and form a ring out of them, gluing the tubes around the perimeter.

Fifth way

If you are planning a small wreath, then the base can be cut from an aluminum baking dish. The shape of the future wreath will depend on the configuration of the baking dish - round, square or rectangular.

Sixth way

What is not made from plastic bottles! It turns out that you can also make the base of the wreath. It is necessary to cut the bottles, connect them together in a ring, fastening them with glue or tape.

Seventh way

Foundations for a foam wreath can be bought at the store, or you can do it yourself. You can take packing foam, or you can buy a foam sheet at a hardware store. It is necessary to draw the outline of the wreath on the foam and cut out the base with a sharp clerical knife.

Eighth way

In my opinion, such foundations for a wreath are very cute and practical. I made the base for the heart in this way.
For work, you will need a heater for pipes. You can take leftovers from repairs or buy at plumbing stores. Such a heater is worth a penny. You can buy insulation of different diameters, the choice is very wide.
Everything is done very simply. Cut off the insulation to the desired length and glue the ends. There is only one little trick. In order for the base for the wreath to keep its shape well and not bend, bend the insulation with a seam outward. The result is a perfectly round base for the wreath.

If the insulation is large in diameter and does not bend very well, then you can glue the ends with a piece of pipe.

Ninth way

The base for the wreath can be formed from toilet paper rolls. They only need to be glued together and secured with masking tape.

Tenth way

Some craftsmen use clothes hangers to make wreaths. Two circles are formed from the hanger, which are connected with a bandage or wire.

If there are no wire hangers, then use regular plastic ones.

When the basis for a do-it-yourself decorative wreath is ready, you can turn on your imagination and decorate the wreath, depending on the holiday and your equipment.
