Make a Natural Greenery Wreath

Lately I’m loving making things with supplies I have in my craft closet. Once I realized how much material I have, the possibilities of what I can come up with are endless. Especially now at the holidays when I make all kinds of things for my home.

When my sister got married a few years ago she had lots of greens, ribbon and candles as her centerpieces and decor, so when we got to take them home, they all went right up on my mantel. {Yes I did say a few years ago, and I’ve never gotten to show you what I made with all the stuff!}

There’s nothing easier to make than a wreath, especially one like this with a wire wreath form and some greens you can either buy, find, or better yet, pick up for free when you go cut down your own Christmas tree. And there isn’t much better than free holiday decor!

To make a natural greenery wreath, all you need is a wire wreath form, free greens, floral wire and wire cutters. Simply cut small piece of wire to wrap the greenery onto the wreath.

I placed mine in a angled circular pattern since then I could then tie on two points of the greenery onto the wire wreath form. This will help it be more secure and not move on the wreath.  Put a piece of ribbon on the wire form before you start so that it’s easy to hang when you are finished.

After just a few minutes with some free materials you’ll have a lovely natural element to decorate your home from now until January. I hot glued some ornaments from my holiday decorations to add some pizazz and cover up some bare spots.

This wreath hung in our foyer on the mirror that I antiqued with bleach and paint stripper. Plus it smelled lovely! The glitter pine cones can be found here.
