And such a craft is easy and simple to perform, it does not take much time, and at the same time any available materials and decorative means are used. The most important thing here is to learn how to make a frame, that is, the basis for a New Year's wreath.

The following accessories are well suited for decoration: tinsel, rain, fabric, Christmas tree decorations, pine cones, spruce branches, newspaper and postcard clippings, ribbons, etc.

Be sure to keep an eye on what accessories to choose to decorate such a craft. After all, the decoration should complement your entire interior.

Hurry up and start reading today’s issue and then you will learn in detail about how and what you can use to make wreaths for the New Year and Christmas.

In addition to doors, wreaths can be hung on walls and shelves.

New Year's wreath made of tinsel

Bright and shiny New Year's tinsel wreaths will immediately attract attention and create a festive atmosphere. To make them you will need a minimum of time and materials. Tinsel is glued onto the base (usually cut out of cardboard) and decorated with additional decorative elements - balls, cones, ribbons, bells.

A wreath made from “Mink” tinsel looks very beautiful. Green with white tips, it resembles fir branches covered with frost on a frosty day.

Principles of creating a wreath

According to historical tradition, the cradle of the New Year's attribute is Germany. The standard product consists of intertwined branches of evergreen coniferous plants, decorated with candles and red ribbons.

Gradually, the festive wreath spread throughout the countries of Western Europe and North America. North American residents began to decorate the product with mistletoe branches, berries of garden hollies, and beautiful milkweed leaves. Western European countries use various sweets to decorate crafts, such as candies, nuts, and candied fruits.

As New Year's wreaths became popular in the world, many designers, specialists, and self-taught people made a huge contribution to the development of these products. Models appeared, created from different materials, decorated with natural, artificial, and edible elements. But no matter how the object in question differs in appearance, the principle of its creation remains unchanged and is as follows:

• First, a frame is created;
• Fir branches and other materials are woven into it;
• The wreath is decorated with decorative elements;
• The finished product is hung on the door, wall, or placed on the table.

This is easy to do - a maximum of two hooks to hook the top and bottom of the decoration. It’s easier to take high-quality double-sided tape that will securely fasten your creation in the right place.

If you are the happy owner of a door peephole, then you can secure the product in another way. Tie a long piece of fishing line to the wreath, and then throw it over the door, thread it through the peephole and tie it to the beginning of the fishing line.

You can also make two wreaths of the same size and tie them with rope or decorative ribbon. By throwing one wreath over the door, you will get a doubly beautiful decoration.

History of origin

There are several theories about the origin of the wreath. In ancient times, pagans made them from twigs, nuts, and berries. But a more common version says that the German theologian invented the wreath so that his students could determine the time of the beginning of Christmas.

He decorated his wheel, carved from wood, with red and white candles. Day after day, he lit a candle, and when the last red one remained, the children realized that a bright holiday was coming.

From birch

A wreath made from birch branches (you can weave it with your own hands in 120 minutes) will turn out smooth and beautiful. It can be decorated with Christmas toys, dry leaves or berries. In this master class, the author creates a blank without decorations, because a birch wreath looks great in a minimalist interior.

To work you will need:

• thin birch branches;
• plywood or wooden board on which the entire wreath will fit;
• compass;
• hammer;
• small nails (preferably without heads);
• pruner;
• twine;
• thin copper wire.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Draw a circle 30 cm in diameter on the board.
2. Drive nails along the marked line, at the same distance from each other. They must hold tightly to the wood and not fall out. The number of nails must be odd.
3. Remove all twigs and small shoots from the branches. Divide lush branches into thinner parts.
4. Now the branches need to be woven together. They are placed in a “snake” between the nails. That is, 1 branch needs to be laid behind the nail, then in front of the nail, and so on until the end. Where the branch ends, you need to attach the next one and continue weaving. Weaving continues until the branches reach the nail heads.
5. Cut the twine into pieces 10 cm long and tie the wreath so that it does not fall apart when removed from the nails.
6. Carefully remove the wreath from the nails. If there are no heads on the nails, then this task becomes much easier.
7. The ropes need to be cut and removed.
8. To securely fix the wreath, tie it with thin wire. It will be invisible among the branches and will not allow the workpiece to unravel.
9. If there are any protruding branches left, they need to be carefully cut off with pruning shears.

Birch base can last more than 5 years. Each season you can change the decorations and make a wreath for different holidays.

History, symbolism and meaning of the Advent wreath

In Western countries, residential buildings, cars, and offices are decorated with festive items. The item is popular due not only to its original appearance, but also to its meaning and history.

The wreath has a round shape, which from ancient times, long before the advent of Christianity, was associated among many peoples with the Sun. A few thousand years ago, similar products were created to celebrate the rebirth of the Sun. It took place in the second half of December (the days of the winter solstice), symbolizing the victory of good.

As a Christian symbol of Christmas, the wreath appeared in 1839, its founder was the Protestant theologian Johann Hinrich Wichern. According to one version, he had several children in his orphanage who, waiting for their favorite holiday, counted the days until Christmas. Trying to make the kids’ work easier, the Lutheran embellished the old wheel a little and placed nineteen small red candles inside, as well as four large white ones. A red candle was lit on weekdays and Saturdays, and a white one on Sundays. This way the children could clearly count the days on their own.

Another legend says that homeless children worked in a church parish located in Germany near the city of Hanover. To count the days worked from the beginning of the month, they took an unusable cart wheel and installed one candle in it every day, and on Sunday they added an additional, larger one. It so happened that at Christmas the children's room was decorated with a wheel in which twenty-eight light sources were installed.

Placing candles in the wreath makes it similar to the role of an advent calendar. Moreover, each Advent Sunday corresponds to a memory from the Gospel reading. Candles placed on a wreath symbolize light and goodness.

New Year's decoration has symbolism that is interpreted in different ways. The circle means infinity, the sun, life, and at the same time symbolizes God. Evergreen fir branches used in weaving correspond to eternal life. Candles are associated with the feeling of joy from the upcoming holiday, with the light that will illuminate everything at Christmas. Also, four candles correspond to all cardinal directions, and the circle corresponds to the globe.

The product can be decorated with bells. In Great Britain there is a belief that the ringing sound scares away evil spirits and gives praise to Jesus Christ. According to Scandinavian traditions, the sound of a bell signals the beginning of the fun. The material used in crafts is characterized by its attributes. For example, spruce among the Slavic peoples is a symbol of death, while the Celts compare it with eternal life.

Fabric Christmas wreath

Fabric wreaths look original. Their undoubted advantage is the ability to use them for more than one year.

Making a fabric wreath is easy. Even if you wrap the base with strips of fabric of different colors, it will turn out beautiful. If you also add New Year’s decorations (they can be made of fabric or any other materials), you will get an original craft.

A wreath made from strips of fabric tied to a base looks no less original. Fast, simple and original!

• Toilet paper rolls . They are connected to each other, forming a ring, and secured with tape.

• Wire . A ring is formed from the wire and the ends are fastened.

• Metal hanger . If you don't have thick wire in your house, a regular metal clothes hanger can replace it. Using pliers, separate it and form a circle of the desired size.

• Twigs and vines . This is the traditional basis for a New Year's wreath. It may be a little more difficult to make than the others, but the result is amazing. The branches can be simply fastened with wire or tied with threads, or weaved into a base of willow twigs or vines. In any case, it will turn out original.

From grapes

A wreath of branches (you can weave a product of any size with your own hands) of grapes is made using fresh branches. They do not need to be pre-soaked because the vine is thin and very flexible.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Bend 1 long branch to form a circle with a diameter of 30 cm.
2. Tie the thin end around the thick base.
3. Braid all other branches around the workpiece, connecting the thin and thick ends. The wreath thickness should be about 8 cm.
4. The wreath may look crooked at first, but that's normal. To make the shape more even, you need to lay more branches.
5. Tuck protruding branches under the wreath. There is no need to trim the knots.

The finished product can be decorated with artificial snow. Craft stores sell special sprays. Glue pine cones, varnished leaves and acorns on top.

From balls of yarn

A wreath made from balls of yarn is an unusual and labor-intensive creation. To make it you will need a solid base and a sufficient number of foam balls. On each of them, you need to wind a certain amount of yarn so that the balls begin to resemble balls of thread.

It is important to secure the end of each thread. Using hot glue, you need to glue the “balls” to the base. It is best to use yarn of no more than three colors.

If there are not enough foam balls, you can use Christmas balls, which you can simply alternate with “balls”, or you can wrap them with yarn. The craft turns out bright and rich - you shouldn’t use too much decor. A few textile snowflakes or ribbons will be enough.

From rosehip

A wreath made of rosehip branches (you can weave it with your own hands from fresh or dry branches) is considered a universal decoration. It can be broadcast on doors and windows in the fall or on the eve of the New Year. Branches should be prepared in advance. Usually, craftsmen collect them together with ripe berries and pre-dry the material in the sun.

To work you will need:

• thick cardboard;
• compass;
• scissors;
• pruner;
• acrylic varnish in a can;
• skein of brown yarn;
• twine.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Using a compass on cardboard, draw a circle 30 cm in diameter. Make another one inside this circle, its diameter should be about 15 cm.
2. Cut out the workpiece.
3. Wrap brown yarn around the “donut”. The threads will completely hide the cardboard base of the wreath, and will also make the surface non-slip, so that the rosehip branches will hold tighter.
4. Then the branches with berries are placed on top of the workpiece one by one. The thick ends are connected to the thin ones, intertwining them with each other in a “snake”.
5. The branches are layered on top of each other until the wreath is about 10 cm thick.
6. Then you need to tightly wrap the branches with twine. It can be wound in a circle or cut into pieces 20 cm long and the branches tightened. The knots, in this case, should only be on the wrong side.
7. Cut off the excess ends of the twine.
8. Use pruning shears to remove all protruding branches that disturb the composition.

To prevent the berries from shrinking, they need to be coated with acrylic varnish from a spray can.

From juniper

Juniper branches are soft and do not hold their shape well. Experienced craftsmen recommend weaving wreaths by combining juniper with branches of other coniferous trees. In the table you can see an example of assembling a wreath from 4 types of branches.

Tools and materials needed for work:

• frame for a wreath made of thick wire;
• floral wire;
• white and silver spray paint;
• cones;
• red satin ribbon;
• hot glue.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Prepare the frame of the product. You can buy it in craft stores or make it yourself. Since the structure will be heavy, the thick cardboard may not withstand the load and break. Therefore, it is better to use a wooden or metal base.
2. Form bundles from the branches. They can be made from branches of one type or combined branches of different plants. The main thing is that all the bunches are fluffy and voluminous. You can connect from 3 to 7 branches into 1 bundle.
3. Use green floral wire to tie all the bundles. The wire should be twisted in one direction on all bundles to make it easier to place them when assembling the wreath.
4. In the process of forming bundles, they need to be periodically laid out on the base and the appearance of the future product must be assessed. It is important that the workpiece is completely hidden from view.
5. When there are enough bunches of branches, they need to be secured to the base. First, each part is attached separately, then the wreath is wrapped with wire twice. This way the product will turn out smooth.
6. Protruding branches are removed with pruning shears.
7. The fluffy wreath is ready, now you need to decorate it.
8. Cones of various sizes and shapes need to be painted with white and silver paint. Pass the wire through each cone, wrap it and secure it to the base of the wreath. First you need to fix the large cones, then the small ones.
9. Tie a bow from red ribbon and secure it to the top of the wreath using hot glue.

Finally, the wreath can be sprayed with silver paint. The can should be kept at a distance of 30 cm from the product. 2-3 presses are enough for the paint to go on like dust. It will imitate snowflakes.

Making a wreath from branches with your own hands is not difficult. In addition to external beauty, decor made from natural materials exudes a pleasant forest aroma, which has a beneficial effect on the mood and well-being of the people in the house.

Tips from needlewomen

A wreath made of tinsel seems to be a very simple craft, the creation process of which has no difficulties. But experienced craftswomen can still give some advice:

1. To prevent unsightly cardboard from showing through the decor, the base can be painted green with acrylic paints or gouache.
2. To give the tinsel the look of snow-covered fir branches, you can buy rain with light tips or sprinkle the finished work with artificial snow.
3. The craft will delight not only with its appearance, but also with its aroma if you apply a few drops of pine aroma oil to it.
4. A product of small diameter can not only be hung on a door or wall, but also used to create a horizontal composition with candles.

Do not leave a lit element unattended to avoid a fire.

From plastic bottles

A wreath made from plastic bottles will not only decorate your home, but will also help recycle recycled materials. You will need many plastic bottles of the same size. There are gold and silver copies - you don’t have to paint them, but it’s better to paint transparent bottles in your preferred color.

The bottom of each bottle should be cut in the shape of a flower or star and a small hole should be made in the very center of the bottom of the former bottle. Take a wire base (wire from a hanger works well) and string “flowers” ​​onto it, right sides facing each other.

Decorate the resulting craft with ribbons, balls or bells.
