DIY Christmas Wreath | Christmas Decorating Ideas

Before we jump into this, I want to apologize. You might hear a little bit of noise in the background. We have some workers here working on our house which I hope to show you a video of that in the future. Now about the wreath. Everything I'm going to use today to put this wreath together we have on our online store and it's all in a bundle package so I'll only have a certain amount so when I'm out I'm out. Now I am really picky about choosing some of my greenery. Actually I'm picky about choosing all of my greenery but especially wreaths. I like them to look real and this one is called a dripping cedar wreath. It is extremely full and you cannot tell that it's not real. This wreath design is super simple. The wreath itself is beautiful enough it does not need a lot so what I've chosen is this is three little bells with a little bit more of cedar on it. I'm going to attach it to the wreath with wire. So the bells are on. I like how they just come down just a little bit. Don't worry about the top of the sprig showing right here because we're going to make a bow right on top of that and it won't even show. So it might seem like it's hard but I promise making a bow is not too difficult. I'm going to start with how long I want the tail to be then I'm going to make my first loop. The trick to making a really super pretty bow is making sure that all of your loops are the same size. So I have my first loop and then I'm going to fold around to my second loop making sure it's the same size and I'm going to do four loops. All right there's my second loop and one more and I'm going to make that fourth loop. Now the next thing I'm going to do I'm going to make a really tiny loop in the middle very small because that's going to be the middle of my bow and I'm going to cut the ribbon straight across because I'll angle that later. And then all you need to do is take some floral wire and you're going to go up into that little loop come through flip your bow over and twist it with the wire. Now all you have to do is attach it to your wreath. So I made sure I had plenty of wire and I'm going to just wrap it around the top of the bells and put it on. So I've got the bow on there and now what I'm going to do there's two ways I like to trim the tails on my bows. One is to cut them in at an angle or another way that's super fun and let me show you how to do that. So you fold your ribbon in half and you're going to cut a very sharp angle and then when you open it up perfect. So it isn't really until I get my wreath on the door that I do my last little fluffing and another thing usually 10 yards I can get three bows out of a roll and this is perfect if you're going to put this wreath on your front door maybe you want to make a bow that'll go on your mailbox or you can make two bows if you happen to have two urns. So this is a super easy do-it-yourself wreath that all of your guests are going to think is real. Remember in the bundle you're going to get the wreath, the ribbon, and the sprig with the little white bells. I will put a link in the description of this video that'll take you right to my store. We will have limited quantities I'm sorry so once we're out we're out. Be sure to subscribe to my channel we have got some more Christmas videos coming your way. Have a great day.
