How Do You Make A Christmas Wreath From Real Plants?
Crafting Christmas wreaths from evergreen plants is a tradition dating back hundreds of years. It is festive, smells nice, and is a fun family craft project. It is also purported to bring good luck to your home and encourage the return of spring. • Place your wreath frame on your work surface. Be sure to have a sheet, a newspaper, or a tablecloth underneath to catch needles and sap drips. (This should be a tablecloth you don’t care about!). • Position your first pine bough on the wreath frame. It’s best if you place this one at the top, pointing clockwise. • Wrap the end of your wire securely around the base of the bough. Make several more loops to secure the bough. • Add more boughs in a shingled pattern (the base of one bough below the end of the one preceding it in the circle), until the entire wreath is covered and the wreath frame is not visible. If you like, add the holly sprigs as you go. • Tie your ribbon into a bow. Use a blob of hot glue to attach the bow to the wreath in you
