How to Make a Christmas Door Wreath

Welcome all your friends and family this Christmas with a big wreath hanging on your front door. Let everyone know how much you love the Christmas season before they even come into your house. This is an easy craft that can be personalized or decorated as much as you want it to be. This project should take about an hour and can be used for many years to come. They also make great gifts.

Things You'll Need

• Artificial pine garland
• Wire cutters
• Small pine cones
• Small glass Christmas balls
• Craft wire
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Spray on snow
• Large Christmas bow

Instructions

1. Form the pine garland into a circle the size you want the wreath to be. You can also buy a pre-made pine wreath at the local craft store if you prefer. You may want to go around twice to make it as full as possible. Once you get it the size you want, add and inch and cut it with wire cutters. Then, twist the end on to keep it in place.

2. Glue on several pine cones. You can put them in groups or spread them throughout the wreath. Either way looks nice.

3. Put on the Christmas balls. Use red and gold balls and put a piece of craft wire through the hanger and work it into the pine and through to the back of the wreath. Twist the wire to hold on the ball. Use 15 or 20 balls to make the wreath look full.

4. Spray the wreath lightly with spray-on snow. You want it to look snowed on but not covered by the snow.

5. Wire or glue a big Christmas bow to the top/center or bottom/center of the wreath. Twist on some craft wire to the back to form a loop to hang the wreath or use a door wreath hanger.

Tips & Warnings

• You can add a painted wooden center with the family name on it to personalize the wreath.

• There are many embellishments you can use to decorate these wreaths. Take a look through the craft store and make it your own.
