Decorating a house with a Christmas and New Year's wreath is a very beautiful custom that came to us from Western countries. Just a few years ago, such wreaths looked quite exotic in Russia. But today this is an absolutely typical type of home decoration in the days before Christmas, which is made from spruce branches and four candles, fixed vertically or placed on a table. According to Catholic custom, the first candle is lit on the first Sunday of the four-week fast - Advent, the second on the next Sunday, and so on.

Christmas wreaths owe their appearance to the Hamburg Lutheran theologian Johann Hinrich Wichern, who took in children from poor families. During Lent they kept asking when Christmas would come. And in order to make it easy for children to count down the time until the holiday, Wichern in 1839 made a wreath based on an old wheel, which was decorated with nineteen small red and four large white candles. Every morning one small candle was lit in the wreath, and on Sundays a large one was added to them.

The symbolism of Christmas wreaths has several main meanings. At first, the addition of fire and light in the wreaths symbolized the growing anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ - the light of the world. To everything was added the interpretation of the round shape, the symbolism of the wreath, determined by the spruce greenery, the colors of candles and decorative ribbons acquired additional meaning. Thus, Christmas wreaths and four candles began to be associated with the meaning of the globe and the four cardinal directions. The circle is considered to be a symbol of eternal life, which Sunday gives, the green color is the embodiment of life itself, and candles are the light that illuminates the world on Christmas days. In Christmas traditions, wreaths are usually decorated with three purple candles and one pink candle, which corresponds to the liturgical colors of worship during the Advent period. The pink candle is lit during the third week of Advent, when Sunday is called Gaudete, or Rejoice!

And such a bright wreath can be made from bright scraps of fabric. Below the picture you will find a detailed master class.

And after determining the type of wreath and preparing the necessary materials, you can begin work without any doubt.

From a tie, feathers, balloons, there are so many wreaths!

So, the main thing in a wreath is the base, its base, which will keep the decoration from falling apart. The base is created from any suitable item. The classic base is natural raw materials in the form of straw, twigs, vines and even the rim of a wooden wheel. At worst, you can use wire. But in practice, any available material is used as the basis for a wreath. This will create an excellent base from wires twisted and secured in the form of a circle (for example, a simple extension cord). A piece of hose, thick cardboard that can be glued together from several layers of thinner ones, newspapers compressed into bundles and fixed with a thin wire, fabric in the form of a roller filled with cotton wool or padding polyester, and similar materials are also suitable.

For a traditional wreath you will need spruce or pine spruce branches, which can be replaced with a thuja or holly branch. You can also make a wreath that will be a decoration “for centuries” if you use artificial spruce branches, and then periodically change the decor. By the way, you can decorate a wreath not only with the usual New Year’s decorations, but also with everything that your imagination can tell you. For example - dried flowers, pine cones, berries, fruits, vegetables, cinnamon sticks, spices, spiral-cut citrus peels, cayenne pepper, tangerines, apples, artificial and fresh flowers, candies, sweets, Christmas cookies, garlands, Christmas tree decorations , decorative braid, beads and ribbons. Ordinary brushes and paints, silver and gold sprays, and artificial snow will also come in handy.

Practical advice, for example, how to make a wreath from pine or spruce branches, will also be useful. Usually, the frame is first made from wire or other rigid material. Then the coniferous branches are cut to the required length and the weaving of the wreath begins. The branches are laid in a clockwise direction, with the bare part of the previous branch being covered by the lush part of the next one. The second layer is woven in the opposite direction, which will help give the product volume. The branches are fastened together with wire, and it is better to take green wire, which will be invisible against the background of pine needles. Thin garden or craft wire will also work. The number of layers is taken such that DIY Christmas wreath done, it will be pleasing to the eye. Then the wreath is braided with a satin ribbon and decorated with the materials you choose. Typically, such a wreath is hung on the entrance door or on the wall, and also placed on a coffee table or shelf. But the future location of the wreath needs to be thought out in advance, because it can turn out to be quite heavy, which will not be held on by adhesive tape or pushpin, and you don’t always want to spoil the wall with a thick nail. Therefore, even before you start working with the wreath, you need to decide on its placement. If it is possible to mount it vertically on a strong mount, then you can make a heavy version of the wreath, and if the mount is quite flimsy, then it is better to choose a lighter form, which will make the decoration no worse. And if you still want to make a weighty thing, but the mounting didn’t work out, then you can place the wreath on a horizontal surface - a table, shelf, stand. But here you can let your imagination run wild and load the wreath with any, even the heaviest, toys. It will look so beautiful, quite heavy, but very symbolic New Year's wreath of pine cones, decorated with gold spray, artificial snow, nuts and apples. Candles are traditionally inserted into such a wreath, laid on the table. To fasten them well, you can heat the wire and stick it perpendicularly into the base of the candle, then fasten the wire to the main frame and decorate the lower part by a third with pine branches.

Recently, in our latitudes, an interesting Western tradition of decorating a door with a New Year or Christmas wreath has become increasingly popular. This custom is not only beautiful, but also has a beneficial effect on neighbors. After all, it is impossible to hold back a smile when passing by a door, which with all its appearance shows that behind it is hiding a family that has successfully prepared for the New Year.

You can hang one on your front door (or decorate the interior door to the hall with a wreath, for example), and give the rest to your family, friends and loved ones.

Master class: New Year's wreath made of spruce or thuja branches

To make a miracle wreath for the New Year and Christmas holidays you will need:

• frame-base for the wreath (can be made of wire, cardboard, rolled newspaper, etc.);
• glue (glue gun) or rope (wire);
• spruce branches or thuja branches (cones, tinsel, berries, dried oranges, Christmas balls, etc.);
• pruning shears or scissors;
• paint or artificial snow (optional);
• red or gold satin ribbons;
• various decorations (bells, stars, etc.).

Step 1. Cut out the base for the wreath from cardboard (a kind of donut that is better wrapped in paper, as in the photo) or make a circle from thick wire as shown in the photo.

Step 2. Spruce branches need to be cut with pruning shears or scissors into individual small green branches.

Step 3. Now, having connected the green thuja branches together in small bunches with rope or wire, screw or tape these bunches to the frame. Branched small branches of the Christmas tree can be scrolled one at a time.

Step 4. All that remains is to decorate the New Year's wreath to your liking and you can hang the stylish decor on the door.

Ideas for imagination...

It doesn’t matter what the New Year’s wreath is made of, the most important thing is that it brings joy and gives only positive emotions. And you can make this wonderful decoration for your home from everything that the eye of the creator of beauty, that is, you, falls on.

Just grab a lot of clothespins, paint them any color you want and get to work. A wire hanger makes a good wreath frame. You can also take beads of a suitable size and string them on an untwisted hanger, alternating with clothespins. Don't forget to decorate ours with ribbons. It is good to attach a soft toy in the form of a snowman, Santa Claus or deer to the finished wreath.

Take a good look at the empty cardboard egg tray. Turning on your imagination and fantasy, you cannot help but notice that its cells are similar in shape to flower buds that are just about to fully bloom.

You need to very carefully cut out the cells from the tray and, using scissors, give them the shape of buds. It’s great that the cellulose, which is part of the egg tray, can be painted well with any type of paint. This allows us to safely experiment with different colors, creating truly fabulous wreaths.

It’s very funny, but even from socks you can create a wonderful composition. You can string socks cut out at the toes onto the wreath base or twist each sock into roses and glue them to the wreath.

All you need is cardboard, glue and, of course, a lot of buttons in the color of your choice. Just glue the buttons, alternating small and large, to the cardboard “donut” and a very elegant decorative element is ready! You can also string large buttons onto a rope and tie the ends with a satin ribbon.

This stylish wreath is made using the same principle as a Christmas wreath made from clothespins. For greater structural strength, it is better to use two circles of wire. You need to make holes in wine corks and string them on wire, interspersing them with large beads.

Don't let waste paper waste space in your home. Make wonderful “newspaper” decor - Christmas tree decorations, garlands, angels, candle decor in decoupage style, etc. Newspapers also make excellent New Year’s wreaths.

Using paper you can create gorgeous aerial wreaths. Go through old photographs, clippings from colorful magazines, snowflakes, unusual envelopes. Surely there will be something interesting to create a Christmas wreath. Just don’t rush to immediately glue the found “treasures” to the base. Apply, rearrange, arrange and only then proceed with the final fastening.

A great idea is a Christmas wreath with round cardboard slots for small gifts. You can build a kind of calendar using an Advent wreath as a basis. Of course, it’s better not to hang such “wealth” on the outside of the front door.

Did you know that the very first wreaths were made from just such natural materials? This composition looks simply magical, and requires virtually no expenses.

If you want to surprise, then pasta painted with gold or silver paint on a Christmas wreath is the best way! Simply find some oddly shaped macarons, paint them, and arrange them on a wreath.

Dried orange and lemon slices easily stick to foam or cardboard. If you want to make a wreath of apples, then you need to use a very strong wire frame. Rowan or viburnum branches can easily be screwed to the base with wire or stuck into polystyrene foam, “foam” or plasticine.

New Year's wreath made of Christmas balls

A wreath of bright and shiny balls for the Christmas tree looks truly festive. The balls can be strung on wire or glued with hot glue to the base of the wreath.

New Year's wreath of sweets

The only disadvantage of such a wreath is that they tend to “melt” very quickly, especially if there are little sweet tooths in the house. Soft candies can be pinned to the frame with toothpicks, and lollipops can be glued to each other by wetting the candy with water on one side.

All you have to do is tie a lot of balloons around the frame - and that’s it! The creative New Year's wreath is ready.

Don't know what to do with your old, boring ties? Problem solved! Just wrap them around a wire or other frame and you can hang an extraordinary decorative element on the door.

If you decide to make a wreath of pine cones, you can even do without a frame. This wreath made from natural material looks festive and truly New Year’s.

This option is ideal for those who want to get beautiful decor at the very minimum cost. You just need to wrap the frame with tinsel (preferably green) and add small decorations.

New Year's wreath made of beads

This delicate work will require quite a lot of effort and time, but the result will look impressive.

There is room for your imagination to run wild: you can cut out a lot of snowflakes and faces of Christmas deer from felt and collect them all in one wreath; thick threads can be wrapped around a round frame and decorated with ribbons, bows and ribbons; You can make many flowers from fabric and glue them to the base of the wreath.

This is the perfect wreath for a programmer. This version of the Christmas wreath once again proves that in the process of making such decor, almost any material can be used!

The tradition of decorating houses and apartments with wreaths came to us from Europe, where it is very common along with hanging boots in which Santa puts gifts at night, and other Christmas attributes. It is not surprising that we also liked Christmas wreaths, because they are so beautiful and the aroma of the New Year emanates from them.

In Europe and America, wreaths are hung on the doors of houses, but since we do not all live in private houses, it is better to place them somewhere in the apartment - hang them on the wall in the living room, above the doorway, or put them on the table, placing candles in the center. A New Year's wreath can easily replace a traditional Christmas tree, especially if it is made from spruce or pine branches.

Have you ever wondered why the wreath became a symbol of Christmas? In many cultures, the circle is considered a symbol of eternal life. And the green color of the evergreen spruce seems to be its embodiment. Initially, the color of decorations, ribbons and candles was also given great importance: gold and red colors were used, and the candles were purple and pink, which corresponded to the colors of worship during the four-week fasting period - Advent. We, of course, do not have to adhere to this at all; even among Catholics these traditions are rarely observed anymore.

Today, New Year's wreaths have become more of a decoration. They are made from a variety of materials. You can purchase ready-made products, but many people like to create something on their own, so why not make a New Year’s wreath with your own hands.

Wreath Decorations: List of Ideas

Below you will see many photos of ideas for New Year's wreaths with different decorations. But generally speaking, no matter what the wreath itself is made of, it is decorated:

• berries (real or artificial) - rowan, rosehip, viburnum, mistletoe;
• dried citrus slices - oranges, lemons or whole tangerines;
• shells of walnuts and other nuts or whole nuts;
• fir cones;
• apples;
• flowers;
• ribbons of any colors or threads;
• Christmas balls;
• bells;
• all kinds of figures, including angels, snowmen, Santa Claus, houses, birds;
• cinnamon sticks;
• tinsel;
• snowflakes;
• sweets.

What materials to use for the base

The most important thing in a wreath is its base. Use any available materials. However, it is best to make the base from branches, then you don’t even have to hide it with decor. She will look beautiful anyway. In general, they are widely used as a basis:

• regular cardboard or corrugated, from boxes;
• insulation for pipes;
• wire;
• polyurethane foam;
• wires;
• tightly compressed newspapers, sometimes they are also wrapped with tape for strength.

We suggest making the base from such waste material as toilet paper tubes and paper towels.

	To make the base of the wreath, you will need several tubes from toilet paper rolls or paper towels. Cut them into pieces approximately 3-5 cm wide. Place them on the floor to determine the size of the wreath.
	Take a thread or wire and assemble all the parts onto it. With wire, the wreath will be stronger.
	If everything looks confusing during the process, that's okay.
	Once the shape is assembled, tie a strong knot.
	Take old newspapers cut into strips.
	And PVA glue.
	Moisten the wreath with glue and wrap the newspapers so that they are saturated. You can also coat the top.
	Leave the wreath to dry for a day. It will be strong enough to withstand light decor. For example, this is an excellent base for later wrapping it with threads or tinsel, or securing several small spruce branches.

Made from spruce or pine spruce branches

Now let's move on to the most interesting part - making a wreath. In the best traditions, the wreath will be made from spruce or pine branches. It will fill the house with a pine aroma and will look very New Year's. Branches can be attached one at a time - using twine, hot glue, or green wire. Moreover, they do this in such a way that the lower part of the branch is covered by the fluffy part of the other. You can first tie the branches in small bunches and tie them in this form to the base.

Watch the master class, here is a step-by-step presentation of the process of making a wreath from natural spruce branches from start to finish.

	Make a base out of cardboard.
	Draw two circles with a compass or use a plate or lid from a frying pan or pot for this.
	Cut with scissors.
	Crumple up the sheets of paper and wrap them around a cardboard ring.
	If the spruce branches are large, divide them into small branches.
	Glue the branches to the base using hot glue.
	Cover the wreath so that there are no gaps.
	Take real pine cones.
	Buy artificial branches with berries.
	You will also need a bell...
	and red yarn.
	Wrap the yarn around the wreath.
	Place the pine cones on the glue.
	Attach artificial berries in random order.
	Decorate with a bell.
	Spray artificial snow on the branches.
	The resulting wreath looks absolutely New Year's, and also exudes a pleasant pine aroma.

It is not necessary to use natural branches; you can get by with artificial ones. You've probably seen spruce garlands on sale. It’s very easy to make a wreath from such a garland.

Replace the branches with tinsel

Visually, green tinsel looks like fir branches. If you wrap it around the base circle, you will get a wreath very similar to a spruce one.

Wreath made from deciduous tree branches

Another option is to make a wreath from branches. Thin birch, willow branches or grapevines are suitable for this purpose. They are twisted into a tight circle and most often wrapped with twine; it matches the color well and is almost invisible. A wreath made of branches can serve as a frame for decorating with pine needles, rosemary, and branches with berries.

This wreath is made of grapevine, decorated with rosemary and laurel.

	Have on hand all the tools and materials you will need to make the wreath.
	These are sprigs of rosemary and laurel.
	Floral wire, wire wrapped in twine, garden pliers, side cutters.
	Roll a grapevine wreath.
	Use floral wire instead of hot glue so you can use the wreath again next year with a different decor.
	Don't overcomplicate the wreath. Use a few branches of plants, decorations with natural motifs and a bright ribbon - this will be enough.
	It is better to use a ribbon with wire inside so that the bow holds its shape.
	Attach the decor to the wreath.

This wreath is made from birch branches, and no other plants are used for decoration. But this is its charm.

	Take 9-10 thin branches - birch or others, for example, a grapevine looks good in a wreath.
	Twist the branches into a circle and secure with twine. Choose the thickness of the wreath at your discretion.
	Gold and red jewelry were chosen for decoration. Yellow color and gold as its shade are trendy this year.
	Wrap the wreath with beads.
	Tie up a few Christmas balls.

Lots of paper ideas

When there are no spruce branches, branches, or cones at hand, they make do with paper. And interesting products are obtained. Some of them are as beautiful as wreaths made from natural materials. You can create with paper with your children; it doesn’t crack like a Christmas tree, and it’s easy to work with.

	It's easy to make a New Year's wreath from cardboard and crumpled paper.
	Cut a circle out of cardboard; an old cardboard box from some kind of equipment will do.
	Cut the corrugated paper into pieces of approximately 10x10 cm. How many parts are needed depends on the size of the cardboard ring and the “terryness” of the wreath.
	Remember the pieces with your hands and glue them onto a cardboard ring.
	Place the parts close enough to each other so that there are no gaps.
	Cut a strip of crumpled red paper and twist it with your fingers as shown in the photo.
	Decorate the wreath.

This option is a great idea for recycling old wrapping paper. Of course, it is also not prohibited to use a new one. Such wreaths are also made from book or magazine pages or scrap paper.

	Prepare wrapping paper.
	For the base, cut out a ring from thick paper or cardboard.
	Cut a lot of wrapping paper leaves. Evenness doesn't matter, although you can use a template if you want. You will need approximately 70 leaves.
	Glue the leaves to the ring as shown in the photo. If you use different papers, remember to alternate patterns. If there are any leaves left, you can glue them into places that seem empty. Make a loop of twine or ribbon, wrap it around the wreath and thread the ends through the hole. You can hang a wreath.

We collect from Christmas tree decorations

A New Year's wreath can be assembled from only Christmas tree balls. It doesn't need expensive balls. Check out FIX PRICE before the new year, you will find what you need there. With a little investment, you can create a beautiful, rich wreath. Choose different toys that harmonize with each other in color and decorate with ribbons.

	To make this beautiful wreath, we used 6 packages of 12 balloons each and a few other red decorations that were lying around from last year. The wreath will be assembled on a frame made from a hanger. These are sold, for example, in Auchan. In addition, you will need tape, wire and pliers.
	Shape the hanger into as circle a shape as possible.
	Use pliers to unwind the wire.
	Use pliers to straighten the tip as much as possible.
	String the balls one at a time.
	Move them as close to each other as possible so that the wire does not show between them.
	Continue stringing the decorations, allowing them to be positioned at different angles.
	Soon it will look like this.
	If the decorations do not stick well to the wire, secure them with hot glue.
	Continue stringing the balls.
	When all the balls are already strung, twist the hanger again with pliers.
	This is how the wreath turned out.
	Take the wire tape.
	Wrap it around the hook a couple of times. Secure the back with tape or hot glue.
	Place several loops of ribbon.
	Tie the bow with another piece of ribbon. For reliability, you can drip a drop of hot glue inside.

We make New Year's attribute from fabric

Fabric wreaths look very beautiful. The most varied manufacturing technologies are used, and the resulting wreaths are just as varied. We presented three options in the form of master classes, but in fact there are many more of them.

For example, small ribbons or strips of fabric are tied tightly to each other on a wire frame.

Read Video: how to breastfeed correctly

Strips are cut out of the fabric and the edges are sewn together. The resulting “cases” are stuffed with synthetic padding.

	Cut strips of fabric of arbitrary length and width. Keep in mind that as a result of all manipulations, the width of the finished strip with padding polyester will be approximately four times smaller than the original one. Fold the strip of fabric right side inward lengthwise and stitch using a sewing machine. Make transverse cuts from the side of the seam, not reaching it a little, so that the fabric does not pull anywhere later.
	Turn right side out.
	Fill it quite tightly with padding polyester, holofiber or any other soft filler.
	Sew the edges of each soft ribbon and then place the three ribbons together and pin the edges together.
	Weave a braid from the ribbons.
	Bring the edges together and hand stitch.
	Cut and sew a short length of ribbon as shown in the photo to hide the seam.
	Now let's make a bow. It will be two-sided, i.e. red on one side, white on the other. We sew the edges diagonally.
	Turn it inside out. There is no need to stuff the tape.

The fabric is also folded. It is held in place due to the tight fit of the layers to each other. The following example shows how to create a burlap wreath.

	To make the frame, purchase galvanized knitting wire. Cut pieces of the following sizes: 130, 115, 100 and 85 cm.
	Connect them in this way, bending the ends using pliers.
	Cut a few more pieces of wire, fold them several times, slide them under the frame, bend them to the front side and thus secure the inner and outer ring.
	Wrap the loose ends around the inner rings. Level the frame.
	This wreath is made from burlap. It needs to be cut into strips.
	Secure the end of the strip with hot glue or a piece of wire, or tie it. Move the strip of fabric to the jumper, the jumper should be on the left hand. Release folds in each gap. Twist the tape, move it to the jumper and repeat the steps starting in the same direction - from the inside to the outer edge. If you run out of tape, secure it like you did the beginning end.
	This is such an interesting looking wreath.
	Decorate it with Christmas tree decorations, lace decorations, and artificial branches.

Almost out of waste

The idea of ​​creating a New Year's wreath from materials that we throw away in everyday life is especially attractive, because you won't have to spend money on them. Who would have thought that you could create a decent-looking New Year's wreath from plastic bottles? You won’t immediately understand what it’s made of.

	Cut the bottoms from plastic bottles and paint them the color you want. Make cuts exactly in the place shown in the photo.
	Fold the corners on both sides of the cut.
	These are the blanks you should get.
	Connect the “flowers” ​​from the bottles, turning them over each time. Don't forget to make a hole in the center of each piece.
	String the parts onto the wire.
	Decorate the wreath with bows.

How to hang a decorative element

It’s not enough to make a New Year’s wreath; you also need to hang it, if you specifically designed it for this purpose. It is better to choose the mounting method in advance. It will be unpleasant if it turns out that the wreath is too heavy and double-sided tape, for example, does not hold it. Then you will have to drive a nail, and this is not always possible. In addition to double-sided tape, they use hooks on suction cups, hook them with wire to the door peephole, purchase special snap-on fasteners that are put on the door from above, and tied with tape to the handle on the back side of the door.

Create New Year's wreaths based on master classes, be inspired by photo ideas and come up with your own options.
