Making a Real Christmas Wreath and Wreath Buying Ideas

This is a wire wreath frame that you can use for making your wreath....you can insert the pine leaves and decorations easily, whether real or artificial, to this base, covering it completely, affixing with craft wire. You can click through the link and search for different sizes and styles...just search "wreath frame".

At the wreath making event that we went to, we used a wire base that already has some artificial plastic evergreen "leaves" (you'll see one in the video later), then I build on it by wiring the real evergreens, holly leaves, holly berries, pine cones, and other decorations onto it. At the end of the season, I clean the dead leaves, etc. off the base, save it, and re-use next Christmas.

If you prefer buying an artificial wreath, LED lighting has become very popular as it uses very little electricity...make the wreath battery operated, and you have a wreath that doesn't need to be near an electric outlet, and doesn't use batteries up as quickly as one with conventional lights.

You can add LED lights to your wreath if you like. When you purchase them, consider the length...what is shown here is more appropriate for decorating a house, but you can find smaller lengths if you click through and search.

While a large nail in the side of a log cabin like I live in may be adequate and fit the "rustic" decor, some of you may need something a little nicer, like a wreath-hanger.

This is just one of many varieties, click through and search "wreath hanger" for a complete selection, no obligation to buy when you click any links.
