How to Make an Easy Christmas Wreath Out of Twigs?

Materials:
- Pruning shears

- Pine cones
- other decoration of choice (ribbons, bows, hawthorn small ornaments)
How to make it:
- Take your pruning shears and head outside to collect some twigs. Tip: Longer ones will be easier to work with. Trim off all the greenery on them.
- Once you feel like you’ve collected enough, leave your twigs to warm up a bit inside. This will make it easier for you to work with them.
- Now begin creating a wreath frame by taking two twigs and overlapping them by about 1/3 of their length. Twist the ends around one another. Secure each end with the floral wire.
- Proceed in the same manner with the other ends, as you adjust them to create the circle size you desire.
- Now that you’ve made the wreath frame, begin to add the fir green branches in a pattern you like.
- Stick in the pine cones and other decorations with the hot glue gun.
- Take the shears again and cut out anything unsightly or sticking out.
- Voilà! You have a beautiful new twig Christmas wreath!
Here is a final idea of how your wreath can look, depending on the size you want to go with. Hawthorns, Christmas-themed bows, pine cones, fir green branches – everything you need to make the most festive DIY twig Christmas decoration!
