Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Elegant Christmas Wreath Crafts Idea #1Materials4 x 20" long ribbons, width and color of choiceWreath base made from twisted vines real or artificialPine boughs or hollyArtificial fruitHot glue gun Directions:Step 1: Tie the lengths of ribbon into four bows. Step 2: Arrange the greenery, fruit, and ribbons loosely on top of the wreath base, trying various placements.Step 3: When you are happy with the arrangement, cut the pine boughs to the desired length. Using the hot glue gun, glue the cut ends of the pine to the wreath base. Step 4: Repeat with fruit, and finish off with bows. Step 5: There is no need to add a loop for hanging since a vine wreath is easily hung on a nail or hook. Hang the wreath on a door or wall, making sure the nail or hook is not visible. If you choose to use artificial greenery, your wreath will last a lifetime.Variation for Holly Wreath: For a traditional wreath, substitute fresh holly boughs for the needled greenery. Cut a few small, healthy holly branches. Submerge the ends in water until you are ready to assemble the wreath. Strip small clumps of leaves from the branches, trimming the ends--leave a little of the twig to poke into the wreath base. Attach the holly in the same manner as the pine wreath. Small clumps are easier to work with than big unruly bundles. Decorate as above, or in any way you wish.
