Instructions

    • 1

      Weave a length of homespun or raffia ribbon around a plain evergreen wreath. Trim off the excess ribbon and secure it in place on the back of the wreath with a dab of hot glue.

    • 2

      Wrap small bundles of cinnamon sticks with raffia. Glue each bundle onto the wreath.

    • 3

      Glue gingerbread men onto the wreath. You can embellish each gingerbread cookie with a tiny raffia or homespun bow, for more detail.

    • 4

      Attach dried orange and apple slices to the wreath with hot glue.

    • 5

      Insert sprigs of red or orange winter berries throughout the wreath for a dash of bold color.

    • 6

      Add a homespun bow with wire tires.

    • 7

      Fashion a hanger for the wreath with some wire. Simply secure the wire on either side of the back of the wreath with wire tires.

Tips & Warnings

  • Layer the decorations to give the wreath more visual interest. Tuck some of the fruit slices and gingerbread figures into the wreath, rather than piling them all onto the top.

  • Instead of a plain evergreen wreath you could use a sealed pretzel wreath or grapevine wreath as a base.
