What can you make a Christmas wreath with your own hands?

New Year is just around the corner and it is time to think about decorating your home. A Christmas wreath will be an excellent decoration, especially if it is made from improvised means with your own hands. A festive mood will be provided for you.

From sweets

Since childhood, New Year has been associated with a bag of sweets from Santa Claus. Create a New Year's mood by making a candy wreath.

To do this, you need:

1. First, make the base of the wreath. Take a durable material such as cardboard, polystyrene foam, or polystyrene foam. Draw 2 circles on it. For convenience, you can use a large, round dish. Estimate the diameter of this object, if it suits you - turn it over and circle it. This will be the outer edge. Draw the inner circle by taking a dish with a smaller diameter. The base should not be too narrow. It is better to make it wider and then cut off the excess.
2. If you want to add volume to your Christmas wreath, use crumpled newspaper, paper, cotton wool, or foam. Make a roller out of these materials and glue to the front of the wreath.
3. Attach a loop on top for which you will hang a wreath on a door or wall.
4. Wrap the base with foil or tinsel, securing the edges so that they do not unwind.
5. Using a glue gun, attach the candy to the ends of the wrappers. Those with a wrapper wrapped around one side, such as truffles, are best. Round candies wrapped in foil are also a good option.
6. Fill the free space with small balls, bows or spruce branches.

Such a wreath will look delicious and original. It will be especially enjoyed by children, who will be able to enjoy sweets after the holiday.

To make a Christmas pine cone wreath for your home, you need to:

1. Cut out the cardboard base. Glue a newspaper roller to it and wrap it with burlap, it will best fit the cones. If this material is not available, simply wrap the base with masking tape.
2. Glue a loop so you can hang the future wreath.
3. Using a glue gun, attach the cones to one another, either of the same type, or alternate between different ones - pine and spruce, small and large. Leave some gaps for the balls. If you do not take care of this in advance, the balls will protrude above the surface and spoil the appearance.
4. Use artificial snow to create a frost effect. Decorate the wreath with balls and beads. Red and white look most impressive in combination with cones.
