Wreath making is a popular and enjoyable craft that can be done for the holiday season, or any time of the year. It is a great way to add a personal touch to any home or gift. Wreaths can be made out of many types of materials, depending on the desired look and feel. Basic supplies required for most wreaths are a base (sometimes called a frame or form), greenery, and decorations.
The first step in wreath making is choosing the type of frame or form to use. Wire frames are available in various shapes, sizes and materials. Styrofoam wreath forms are also available, and they usually come in either round or square shapes. Once the form has been chosen, it’s time to start decorating!
Greenery is one of the most important elements in making a wreath. Greenery can be purchased either fresh or artificial. If using fresh greenery, it should be sprayed with a preservative to prevent it from drying out too quickly. Artificial greenery is easier to work with and will last longer, but it is not as realistic looking as fresh greenery. When selecting greenery for wreath making, look for pieces that are well-shaped and full with no browning or damage.
The last step in creating a beautiful wreath is adding decorations. These can include ribbons, bows, bells, pine cones, dried flowers, and more. The decorations should be carefully arranged around the wreath to create an eye-catching display. Finally, hang the wreath up with a hook or ribbon loop and enjoy
