Christmas Wreath Workshop
On Sunday, 10 families who had never made a wreath before spent an hour creating their own Christmas wreaths. Initial nerves quickly gave way to smiles as their creations took shape. By the end of the session, there was a wonderful sense of satisfaction and joy from crafting something truly their own.
What You’ll Need:
- Wire coat hanger
- Soft wire (even stripped electrical wire can work—reuse materials where possible!)
- Greenery, gathered sustainably from a local wood. Take only a few branches to leave nature untouched:
- Holly (ideally with red berries)
- Pine branches
- Ivy
- Bay leaves
- Rose hips
- Pinecones
- Any small Christmas decorations for a personal touch
How to Make Your Wreath:
- Shape the Base: Bend your wire coat hanger into a circular shape.
- Layer the Greenery: Attach layers of greenery to the frame using the soft wire.
- Add the Final Touches: Decorate the top layer with pops of color and any festive ornaments.
- Display with Pride: Hang your beautiful wreath on your door or wall to spread Christmas cheer!
Wreaths for Every Season
Once you’ve mastered the basics, wreath-making can be a year-round hobby! Create wreaths for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Spring, Summer, Harvest, Autumn, Winter, and, of course, next Christmas.
Embrace the joy of crafting and celebrate the seasons in style!
