I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday of the year. As a child, I remember my grandmother always making sure to get a new Christmas Wreath. So, I try to carry on the tradition, by making a Christmas wreath every couple of years.
I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday of the year. As a child, I remember my grandmother always making sure to get a new Christmas Wreath. So, I try to carry on the tradition, by making a Christmas wreath every couple of years.
For my project today, I made a large Mesh Christmas wreath and a small mesh candle ring. I used the 2-1/2in. mesh for both wreaths. For the large wreath, I did 3 colors so I cut 9 strips of each color at 24 inches for a total of 27 strips. I made loops and wired them with pipe cleaners. First I started with 3 green loops and wired them to the wreath, then 3 white loops, next 3 red loops and repeated this pattern all the wreath. I added a snowflake bow, snowman floral stick as well as red sparkle poinsettias and some glitter christmas lightbulb picks.
