How to make the basis for a wreath with your own hands

Before proceeding with examples of how to make a wreath with your own hands, it is worth saying a few words about how to make the foundation for it. After all, it is precisely it largely determines the appearance of the future wreath. Of course, the easiest option to buy a ready-made basis in a retail store or search them on the Internet. But if you did not meet it on sale in retail stores, and there is no time from the online store - one way out is: make it with your own hands.

What makes the basis? From anything. As a basis, you can use the hoops for embroidery, wire cut from cardboard or foam plate, a corrugated tube (for example, from an old vacuum cleaner), or a thermoflex (this isolation for pipes is sold in construction stores). If you stop your selection on a thermoflex or corrugated pipe, you will need to work a little to create a circle form, namely: just cut off the needed length and glue the edges with a tape or tape. A more troublesome method: glue together cardboard bushings from under toilet paper.

In addition, you can build a good basis of newspapers or old paper. Moreover, in several ways. You can enclose with newspaper sheets or newspaper tubes with a cardboard circle or wire, and it is possible to form a tight circle from the sheets of newspapers. In all cases, for reliability, the basis of the newspapers at the end you need to wind up with dense paper towels, and at the end of scotchpieu or nylon pantyhose - so you align / smooth the edges and give the strength of this design and a wreath as a whole.


In addition to old newspapers and magazines, any other paper will come down, fix it to the cardboard circle with threads, as shown in the photo example below.


Well, of course, we must not have forgotten that we can weave the wreath of the branches with their own hands (from birch or IV). For weaving it is better to use freshly cut branches. If they are not enough elastic, they need to be brought every 5 cm or soak in water (if the beggars do not help). The weaving process itself, see the photo instructions below. In general, nothing complicated if the branches will slip - fasten them with glue or threads.

Now let's talk about how to make a wreath with your own hands. In fact, consider different options for decor ready-made basics.

Since the New Year and Christmas is, first of all, the smell of the Christmas tree, first of all, consider a couple of options for how to make a wreath of alive sprues, fir or branches of some other coniferous plant. Where to take the sprigs of a coniferous plant? - As a rule, sellers of the Christmas trees sell and twigs, or if you buy a live tree home, if it is installed, you will definitely have several unnecessary twigs.

So, proceed to business. Everything is simple, cut the sprigs of suitable size (as shown in the photo number 2 - cut off from a large branch, smaller sprigs) and fix them to the basis of threads, wire or brackets. With the help of glue we are wearing the edges of the edges to its side surfaces. When it is all hidden under the branches, proceed to decorating: glue small Christmas balls, snowflakes, bumps, nuts (pre-painted in white as an option, except for paints in honor and sparkles) at the end of the swelling beads or garlands. The finished Christmas wreath is hanging on the door or put on the table, placing a candle to the center or a bottle of champagne.

Another way to make an artificial snow: mix white soap, shabby on a grater, and starch diluted with warm water. Because it is necessary to beat the wedge to the reception of a homogeneous mass. Proportions in both cases adjust themselves.

Continuing the topic of "natural" materials, it is worth noting the beauty and elegance of New Year's wreaths made purely of cones, walnuts (you can use any other nuts) or acorns.

Cinnamon sticks also deserve attention, and the whole sticks can be glued, and you can cut them into parts.

Today we will talk about the last and look at how to make a Christmas wreath with their own hands.

* In the article, a lot of photos to be more convenient to navigate in it, you can use laying.

New Year's wreath on the door and not only

This tradition is more western, but at present, many families in Russia have adopted her, and with pleasure decorate their home with Christmas wreaths. It is understandable, such a decoration looks just great!

Options for such wreaths may be different. They are performed from living branches:

    juniper

    ordinary IV rhe

  • cypress

But sometimes it is created from completely unexpected materials, which we will also tell about.

Of course, such a New Year's wreath can be easily bought in the store. But much more interesting to make it with your own hands. In this case, it will truly unique and festive.

Tradition Decorate House Wreaths: History

Before you start making a wreath, let us remember the history of this Christmas decoration. To begin with, we note that such wreaths are two species:

  1. The first is a classic Christmas wreath, which is put on the table and decorate, to everything else, candles. Sometimes it is called "Advent Wreath".
  2. The second hangs on the door (or where you like more).

The history of the first is not so ancient - he was invented in German Hamburg in the 19th century. The legend says that such a theologian lived, a good and pious man - Johann Henry Vihren, who was engaged in the training of poor and orphans.

During the pre-holiday, the kids then and the matter asked him: "Was Christmas soon?". And so to visually show the approach of the holiday, he took the rim from the wheel, decorated it with fir branches, cones and candles - 24 small red and 4 large white.

Every morning he lied on one candle - a little on a simple day and big on Sunday. The kids answered:

When the last candle is lit in the wreath - Christmas will come.

I liked this idea to all citizens, and soon they also began to make such wreaths for the holiday. Later, the tradition passed from Lutheran to Catholics and Protestants.

As for the Christmas wreath on the door, his story is much more older than you can imagine. It is rooted in the Celtic tribes and the celebration of the Winter Solstice - Yol. Yol is one of the holidays of the pagan wheel of the year dedicated to the revival of the solar deity.

Celts made wreaths from juniper, pouring sprigs and mistletoes as an overlap and as a symbol of the eternal annual cycle.

Now the ancient meaning of traditions left, and similar New Year's wreaths is just a cute decoration for the holiday.

How to make a christmas wreath do it yourself

We will look at several options for creating this decoration. From classic with fir branches, to the original of the Christmas balls. But in that and in another case, we will need the basis for which the twigs, ribbons, cones, balls and candy will be attached.

Frame for wreath

The framework for a New Year's wreath can be made almost from anything. Vihren did it from a wooden wheel, but now this item is not so easy to find. We will bypass other materials:

    Yol wreaths are traditionally dealt with IV branches, which still use for these purposes.

    Other flexible rods are also perfect (cherry and sea buckthorn, for example).

    Old newspapers and paper twisted in the ring is a good foundation.

    Old garden hose.

    The circle can be simply cut from cardboard.

    Ordinary wires (even from the old extension cord), twisted.

    Hose from under the old vacuum cleaner.

    Disposable plastic plate.

    The ring can be cut out of foam or foam rubber.

    A wire hanger can also be a good basis if you break it out, and then bend again, but already in the ring.

    Simple wire, but it is better to take the one that is well bend and keeps the form.

    Dry grass or straw assembled together, well tightened and braided in the form of a circle.

In other words, take everything you have at hand and wake them up this "bagel" of suitable sizes. This will be the basis for our New Year Wreath.

The article is almost on the topic: the autumn wreath on the door, how to make it with your own hands?

How to decorate festive wreaths?

Now, when we have the basis, you can proceed to the most important thing - decoration. After all, we already decided what we would be a wreath? Traditionally, it is made of spruce and other evergreen twigs, and it looks like this decoration more elegant.

If you want your wreath to be "disposable", it is better to use artificial materials. For example, in many somewhere in the attic or mezzanine, an old artificial Christmas tree was lying on, here it is possible to put it in business.

A wreath of Christmas tree toys always looks winning.

Very often for decorating the room, wreaths create a festive mood to create a festive mood. Decorative wreath can be made to any holiday. But sometimes it creates difficulty at its creation at the very beginning of the creative process - there is no foundation for a wreath. Today I will tell you about 10 ways to make the basis for a wreath with your own hands.

First method



The easiest and most cost is to buy a ready-made basis for a wreath in the store. The finished bases are made of foam, grape vines, rother, straw, iron rods. You already choose a material that is more suitable for your composition.

Second way

The second way suggested Igor Linnik. At first, it is necessary to cut the stencil base of the future wreath. By the way, it does not have to be a ring, a form can be any - a circle, star, heart.
Further using some thick paper (packaging paper, newspaper) you need to create a volume of the future wreath. The paper should be tightly compress and with a rope or wire join with a cardboard stencil, carefully equal to it.
The result was a great basis for a wreath.

Third way

The basis for a wreath is easy to make paper, even without a stencil. Just forming the hands with your hands that you have conceived. It can be said that this is a lightweight variant of the previous way.

Fourth way

Make a paper base for a wreath in another way. Screw from the newspapers of the tubes and form the ring from them, gluing the tubes around the perimeter.

Fifth way

If you are planning a small wreath, the basis can be cut from aluminum baked form. The form of a future wreath will depend on the configuration of the baking form - round, square or rectangular.

Sixth way

What is just not made of plastic bottles! It turns out that the basis of the wreath can be made. It is necessary to cut the bottles, connect them between themselves into the ring, covering with glue or scotch.

Seventh fashion

The basics for a wreath of foam can be bought in the store, but you can make it yourself. Polyfoam can be taken packing, and you can buy a sheet of foam in a construction store. It is necessary to apply the circuit of the wreath on the foam and the sharp stationery knife cut the base.

Eighth way

In my opinion, such basics for wreath are very pretty and practical. I made the basis for the heart in this way.
To work it will be necessary to the insulation for pipes. You can take remnants from repair or buy plumbing in stores. There is such a penny insulation. You can buy a different diameter insulation, the choice is very wide.
Everything is done very simple. Sut off the insulation of the desired length and ends glue. Only there is one little trick. In order for the basis for a wreath to keep the form and was not curved, bending the insulation should be seamless. As a result, you get the perfect round basis for a wreath.

If the insulation of a large diameter and bends not very good, then you can glue the ends with a piece of pipe.

Ninth way

The basis for a wreath can be formed from cardboard tubes from under toilet paper. They should only glue together and consolidate with painting scotch.

Tenth fashion

Some craftsmen for the manufacture of wreaths use hangers for clothes. Two laps are formed from the hangers, which with the help of a bandage or wire are connected to each other.

If there are no wire hangers, then let us go into the course of ordinary plastic.

When the basis for a decorative wreath made by hand is ready, you can include fantasy and decorate a wreath depending on the holiday and your equipment.
