DIY wreath of branches
Wreaths made from branches and... look original. These can be traditional spruce legs or flexible twigs.
From fir branches
Fir branches, as a symbol of the holiday, are widely used in New Year's compositions. They are also used to make a Christmas wreath.
There are a huge number of options for a wreath made of fir branches, but they are all made according to the same principle. Fir branches are attached to a round base (made from wire, cardboard, polystyrene foam, twigs). They can be wrapped with tape, electrical tape, twine, and wire. All that remains is to decorate the wreath. Berries, dried citrus fruits, pine cones, acorns, Christmas balls, and ribbons are used for decoration. Use your imagination and create your own unique version.
DIY vine wreath
Vine is a flexible and pliable material from which it will be easy to weave a wreath. It is twisted to form a ring and wrapped with twine matched to the color of the rods. The resulting wreath is decorated. Most often, fir branches, cones, berries, and New Year's balls are used for this.
If you add sprigs of rosemary and laurel to decorate the wreath, it will turn out not only beautiful, but also fragrant.
New Year's wreath made of willow
To create a New Year's wreath, it is convenient to use willow branches. They, like the vine, bend well and do not break. They are formed into a circle, secured in several places with wire so that the wreath does not fall apart. For decoration, fir branches, cones, acorns, berries, New Year's toys, and citrus slices are used. You can choose any decor, depending on the overall style of the jewelry.
A wreath decorated on one side with fir branches, cones and ribbons looks elegant. The twigs can be painted with white paint or Artificial Snow spray. It will turn out unusual and beautiful. A wreath decorated with fir branches and poinsettia flowers will be bright and festive.
Where did this tradition come from?
According to history, wreaths began to be woven a long time ago. For example, according to some legends, pagans wove wreaths from coniferous plants that do not lose their beauty even in winter. According to another version, a wreath made of holly was placed on the head of Jesus Christ before he was crucified on the cross. From this we can conclude that the tradition of weaving wreaths appeared in our country thanks to religious trends.
This decoration has a round shape for a reason - it symbolizes eternal life. The wreath itself has long been considered a bright symbol of joy and faith. They were placed on the table, decorated with fireplaces and doors, or hung at the head of the bed,
Subsequently, people began to decorate their homes with wreaths on the eve of Christmas and New Year. Previously, they were made exclusively from fir branches and decorated with candles, but now in stores you can find wreaths made from a variety of materials: bows, corks, ribbons, shiny New Year's balls, fir cones, yarn, pom-poms, dry twigs and even candy. There is such a huge selection that it makes your eyes wide open.

Wreath decoration
The main decoration tool is a glue gun. Plug it in and let it warm up. During this time, select decorative elements and arrange them harmoniously on the wreath. Here Alina gave some universal advice:
- There are two approaches: form groups of elements and then fill the voids between them, or evenly distribute the elements one at a time throughout the wreath.
- You can create groups from objects of the same type, the same shape or the same color - one or at most two parameters must match.
- Groups with three objects each look best.
- In groups, it is better to have connecting elements so that they come together in a composition: for example, the same object or color will be present in all groups.
- Arrangement of groups in an equilateral triangle should be avoided.
- The main thing is to try to avoid the “eye” effect - two identical or very similar objects symmetrically opposite each other. It will seem like the wreath is looking at you - we mean it. In this case, it is enough to place these elements diagonally - the effect is lost.
- Don't be afraid to place similar objects in pairs if that seems harmonious to you.
- Rely on your sense of beauty.
Gluing elements onto a wreath is very simple: squeeze a little glue onto the back of the decor, press it to the desired place on the wreath and hold it for a while. The main thing is not to try to glue it into the air between the branches - we tested it, it doesn’t work. Try to recess the decor a little into the branches: this way it looks like part of the wreath, rather than lying on top, and it sticks better.
The last step is to decorate the wreath with ribbon, if desired. You can tie a bow directly on the wreath, or you can make it separately and stick it on top like the rest of the decor. The ribbon can be a fastener for hanging a wreath on the wall, or it can be a purely decorative detail. Then you need to make a wire loop on the back of the wreath.
The last thing left is a test of strength. Lift the wreath and shake it - if nothing falls off, then you did a great job with the glue gun, and the product will not be damaged even if you slam the door on which the wreath hangs. If it falls off, repeat gluing.
By the way!
The wreath can not only be hung on a wall or door, but also placed on a table or chest of drawers, placing a composition of candles or a vase of tangerines in the middle.
Happy New Year to you!

Master class on making a New Year's wreath from pine cones
A wreath made from pine or fir cones is very easy and fun to make. And there can be many creative variations here. In this idea, glowing lights are added to the wreath.
Materials you will need:
- wire form (it can be twisted from a clothes hanger)
- cones - about 70 pieces
- jute twine
- glue gun
How to do
Sort the pine cones by size into three groups: small, medium and large. If desired, some of them can be dusted with snow - painted with white paint.
The wire base will need to be wrapped with twine, this will be more beautiful, neater, and the pine cones will stick better.
To do this, tie one end to the wire frame and start wrapping it. The layers of rope do not have to lie tightly together. Having reached the end of the circle, we again tie a knot of rope on the wire.
Now let's start planting pine cones on the base. First we glue the larger ones along the outer diameter.
It is important that the cone is connected to the twine. On the smooth surface of the wire, the cones will not stick well and may fall, especially if you do not use hot glue.
Once the outer circle is completed, move on to the medium sized buds.
Try to press them tightly together. But even if there are small spaces left, don’t worry, we will fill them with other decorative elements.
And we finish our wreath with tiny cones.
To give it a festive look, add a few green branches of spruce, pine, cedar, and fir.
You can also decorate with viburnum or rowan berries or wrap it with a battery-powered LED garland.
And here is an example of using a variety of natural materials.

A classic of the genre - a Christmas wreath made of spruce branches.
I already wrote how to make a Classic coniferous wreath
, however, I found a very detailed master class on the net..
So I hasten to share with you :o)
1. The first thing we do is take the base, which we need to make voluminous. Cut out a stencil - a ring - from cardboard. To make our wreath look harmonious, let's remember the rule of the golden ratio - to calculate the outer diameter of a cardboard ring, you need to multiply the size of the inner diameter by 1.6.
2. Next we will need waxed craft paper. Previously, straw was used, now paper is more suitable, it should be thick, maybe even use newspaper.
Take twine or wire (floral) and scissors. We create a frame from a stencil and paper. Squeeze the paper tightly. We cut off the excess. With a second layer of twine we level and further compact the frame. You should try to pull the paper in one direction. We smooth out the imperfections with our hands. We get something like a donut.
3. The next step can be taken in several ways. With special staples, a hot glue gun or twine (thick, green). We will need 2 good branches of nobles (spruce variety). This variety is good because a wreath made from such a spruce will stand until spring without crumbling.
4. So, we take the spruce branches and start working with pruning shears. Place the cut branch on the inner surface of the frame and secure it with staples, twine or glue.
We must make sure that the spruce is well fixed. The thickness must be placed in different places so that it is natural. Cover all visible gaps to create a sense of continuity and uniformity. If there are any holes in the wreath, you can glue the flaws directly onto the gun.
5. The next step is decoration. We chose red and white colors. White always goes well with red. To decorate our Christmas wreath we will use: gift filler (to imitate ilix branches), Christmas balls, snowflakes from a Christmas tree garland, nuts, cones and New Year's ribbons.
First, we take ordinary Christmas tree balls and break off all the excess. We place them on the wreath first of all as the largest elements of the composition. Next, we separate the details we like from the garland - stars or snowflakes - and attach them.
6. We will make ylix twigs with our own hands using gift filler and thin sticks. We coat the stick with glue and lower it into the filler, carefully adjusting it if necessary. We attach the finished ilix branches to the wreath.
7. Paint the walnuts and hazelnuts with white water-based matte paint. We use a rough brush, deliberately not painting some areas, in order to achieve the effect of fallen frost. The paint dries very quickly and has virtually no odor. It is better to paint hazelnut twice.
The next thing we'll take is rosehip. Like hazelnuts, it is better to make clusters out of them. We wait for the glue to dry and begin decorating. We try to attach it naturally to create the impression that the berries are growing from spruce branches. For such decoration, anything will suit us: ordinary pine cones or alder, everything that grows in the forest - birch catkins, cones, pieces of bark, seed pods.
8. The final stage remains. We take a beautiful New Year's ribbon and finish decorating our wreath. You can also make the ribbon yourself. The final touch is to choose a whitewashed candle, the whiter the better. Place a candle in the middle of the wreath and decorate the Christmas table.
You can make a Christmas wreath on any theme, for example, sea - from shells, with starfish, this will also be interesting.

Christmas wreath made from natural materials
Original New Year's wreaths, which are also environmentally friendly, are made from natural materials. Anything you have on hand will do - pine cones, acorns, chestnuts, any whole nuts or shells, apricot and plum pits, dried citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, cotton bolls, berries. They are glued to the base.
You can take one thing or combine several materials, leave it in a natural color or paint it in any other color, or decorate it with artificial snow. Do as your imagination dictates and create your own unique New Year's wreath.
Christmas wreath made of moss and cotton balls
You can make an eco-style wreath with your own hands from ordinary moss. You can find it in the forest, city parks or public gardens, as well as in specialized art stores in your city. In addition to moss, you will need for the craft: a base for a wreath, glue and cotton balls for decoration.
Wreath made of twigs and sticks
In winter you won’t be able to get hold of particularly natural materials, but you can find dry twigs and sticks, even in the city. By the way, they make a very original wreath.
What you will need and where to get it
The main ingredient is Canadian spruce . It does not crumble, but dries out: the wreath will hang calmly during the holidays, and next year it will be better to replace the branches. Canadian spruce has large and non-thorny needles, so it is pleasant to work with. In Moscow, branches can be purchased at the Riga market, where they also have a wide variety of decor with which we decorated the wreath.
Next you will need a base for the wreath . If you like a fluffy wreath, then the appearance of the base is not important - the branches will cover it. In this case, you can buy a foam circle at a craft store or at a Crafts Fair. You can make the base yourself: cut a ring out of cardboard, and then tape crumpled newspaper or wrapping paper to it on one side to create volume.
There is another type of base - from twigs. They are sold at the same Crafts Fair (they may be in florist shops, but not for sure). This base does not need to be completely covered with branches; it is beautiful on its own.
You will need the following tools :
- thin black or green wire (less convenient options are fishing line or strong thread),
- scissors and secateurs,
- glue gun.
And, of course, decor . Here you are limited only by your imagination, but we used:
- cones,
- cinnamon sticks,
- coconut shell stars,
- Christmas balls,
- cotton,
- dried oranges,
- tapes.
Buy decor in multiple colors or hand paint it to make your wreath look brighter and more festive. Oranges, by the way, are not as easy to dry as they seem, so you can buy them (like pine cones, if you live far from the forest) in specialized stores.

In this case, they can be of different shapes and sizes. This way even the wreath will look more interesting. All that remains is to decorate it with cones, fir branches, balls, berries, and ribbons.
DIY napkin wreath
Delicate and light, like snow flakes, the wreath is made from ordinary napkins. Circles are cut out of them, folded into “flowers” and glued to the base. This wreath turns out beautiful on its own. You can additionally decorate it with cones, balls, ribbons, and berries. Take green napkins, then the wreath will look like a traditional spruce one, or white ones, then you get a more delicate option. Or you can try a combination of napkins of different colors that will harmonize with other decorations.

How to make a base for a wreath with your own hands
It doesn’t matter what material the wreath is made from, you cannot do without a base on which the decorative elements will be attached. You can buy it in a store or make it yourself in the desired size. Different materials are used to make the base:
- Cardboard . This is one of the simplest and most popular options. A ring is cut out of cardboard using a ready-made or self-drawn stencil. It makes an excellent base. It can be covered with colored paper or, if necessary, given volume using newspaper or wrapping paper tied with rope or wire to a cardboard blank.
- Newspapers . Newspapers are rolled into bundles, formed into a ring of the required size and wrapped in paper. If a wide base is needed, then newspapers are rolled into tubes and several layers are glued together until the desired size is obtained.

- Plastic bottles . The bottom is cut off and fastened together with glue or tape, forming a ring.

- Insulation for pipes . They make a very practical and convenient base for a wreath. You can select the insulation of the desired diameter and roll it into a ring, securing the ends with tape.
- Toilet paper rolls . They are connected to each other, forming a ring, and secured with tape.
- Wire . A ring is formed from the wire and the ends are fastened.
- Metal hanger . If you don't have thick wire in your house, a regular metal clothes hanger can replace it. Using pliers, separate it and form a circle of the desired size.
- Twigs and vines . This is the traditional basis for a New Year's wreath. It may be a little more difficult to make than the others, but the result is amazing.
