HOLIDAY WREATH DIY
The Holidays are my most beloved time of year. As a florist, we are advocates for bringing the outdoors in. During the Holiday’s we are decking the halls with garlands, mistletoe, and wreaths. –kristen from moon canyon design
Here is a very simple and fun wreath to make.
what you’ll need:
• grapevine wreath base
• cedar
• balsam fir
• acacia
• pine
• hemlock
• really any evergreen will do!
Start by creating your outer edges and working in towards your center. All you have to do is cut the pieces of green and tuck the into the grapevine base. The base is twisted up enough that it will hold the branches really well. No need for messing around with wire.
I really like asymmetry and so really there is no wrong way here! I like to keep the greens long and let them reach out and be wild.
It’s nice mix a bunch evergreens with different textures and shades of green. This creates such a wonderful winter forest palette. You can accent with ribbon or pine cones for an extra holiday burst.
With the extra bits and clippings from the wreaths I made these holiday corsages. Any chance I get to adorn myself with florals, I take it!
These corsages are basically petite posies tied with wire and accented with ribbon. If you have flowers that you want to add to the evergreens feel free to tie those in there as well. Pin them on and you have a beautiful fresh accent to your holiday look. Plus the scent is seriously amazing!

Where are common places you can find the materials for this–or is it as simple as exploring your backyard?
This is seriously super gorgeous, that wreath and the corsages are a breath of fresh air and creativity, totally stealing this for my work’s holiday party that I’m planning! Thanks so much <3
Simply gorgeous! I love the asymmetry too and I’ll bet it makes the room smell heavenly! (great option for those of us who don’t have room for real trees but still want that fresh pine smell)
This is stunning! And I have the same question as Ellen – where is a good place to get all of these materials?
I love making wreaths at the holidays…the one branch looks like frasier fir, one of the best christmas trees!
My favorite is the 5th picture. Very cool.
Everything you put on this blog is amazing. I will definitely be referring back to this when I *attempt* to make a wreath 😉
I absolutely love the wreath and the corsages are great. what a good way to use your scraps. So pretty.

Thanks for the tutorial! I am definitely making a few of my own wreaths this year!
So gorgeous, I made my wreath last year and I can’t wait to do it again using this guide. x
Ellen & Maggie — flower marts have a ton of this stuff this time of year. I’m willing to bet a lot of flower shops and nurseries have them too. I know that certain xmas tree lots give away their scraps from when then trim the trees for their customers (i got a few branches for free from the lot in the home depot parking lot)
ça a l’air si simple à réaliser comme ça mais je suis certaine qu’en m’y essayant le résultat ne serait pas le même!! Merry Christmas 🙂
You can get evergreens at Home Depot, free. Once they start selling Christmas trees and cut off some of the limbs and discard those branches.
Silly question, but – do you think these might be able to be saved and used again last year, assuming you don’t include flowers or anything not-yet-dried? Thanks!
I read this paragraph fully about the difference of hottest and earlier technologies, it’s amazing article.
Love this! So beautiful!
I love the wreath, and want to make one. Can you tell me what type of cones/seed pods you used? I don’t recognize them. Thank you.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave iit to my 4 yrar old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to hher ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear.She never wants to go back! LoL I
know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
my web site investment research
Terrific work! This is the kind of info that are
meant to be shared across the web. Disgrace on Google for
not positioning this publish higher! Come on over and talk over
with my site . Thanks =)
What are the brands of the sweater and Christmas pjs in the picture? They’re beautiful!!!
I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours lately, yet I
by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It is beautiful value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you
probably did, the net shall be a lot more useful than ever before.
Passion the site– very user friendly and lots to see!|
