Christmas Wreath DIY

Each year, I make our Christmas wreath from our Christmas tree’s trimmings. It’s quite a jolly little way to get in the holiday spirit while listening to Christmas albums, and cooking up some Abuelita’s hot chocolate with a stick of cinnamon over the stove.All you need is some greenery and a few extras. Some garden rosemary would also make a beautiful wreath!

Tools

• Wire cutter
• 14” wreath base
• Green floral wire
• Pine branches cut into 3-piece stems
• Swag: pine cones, red ribbon, berry branches, or ornaments.

Instructions 

1. Cut your pine branches into 3-piece stems and separate into piles by size.
2. Make a bunch by layering three to four stems on top of each other, with the biggest stem as the base. 
3. Layer in some swag if you like and top with a smaller stem.
   
   
4. Place bunch on the wreath base and wrap bunch on with wire.
   
5. Weave in any finishing touches.
   
   
6. Continue adding greenery bunches until the wire is covered
7. Finish by layering a shorter bunch below the top of the first bunch of greenery. 

Happy holidays!
