How to Make a Christmas Wreath

I am so excited about my new Christmas wreath that I walked around the house three times the other day, trying to find the best spot in the house for it. I want it to be SEEN. Do you ever do that?! I want it to be inside, because this wreath matches my Christmas tree (I used the same wired ribbon on it) so they’re kind of a pair that need to stick together. I think this wreath would hold up great outside though, too, as long as your door is protected from direct rain, snow or wind!

How to Make a Christmas Wreath

There are so many things you can use to decorate a Christmas wreath. I love to use ornaments in different shapes, sizes and colors. Faux holly berries and mistletoe are some of my favorites, too. I also like to add bows, and faux holly berries or pointsettias. You can either make your own bows out of wired ribbon (like the teal velvet ribbon I used) or buy pre-made bows at the store. Both kinds work great for decorating a wreath!

Materials Needed to Make a Christmas Wreath

  • Wreath Form
  • Ribbon
  • Picks and Sprays
  • Floral Wire
  • Floral Shears
  • Ornaments
  • Faux Holly Berries
  • Glue Gun

How to Decorate a Christmas Wreath

How to Decorate a Wreath: 

  1. Wrap the wreath form with ribbon or fabric. Secure it with a dot of hot glue here and there.
  2. Place all the decorations around the wreath and arrange them how you like. Sometimes I re-arrange it four times before I feel like it’s ‘right!’
  3. Use floral wire to attach your biggest decorations first. You might need to use floral wire AND hot glue for heavy decorations.
  4. After your big items and greenery/sprays are placed how you like them, add the smaller items like ornaments and faux flowers, using floral wire and then securing with hot glue as needed.
  5. Let glue cool before hanging the wreath.

Supplies used to make this velvet Christmas wreath:

More Wreath Making Tips:

What kind of wreath form should I use?

I used a straw wreath form to make my velvet wreath. That’s the kind I usually use, because they are inexpensive but durable! You could also use a foam one.
