diy laurel wreath for Christmas

 

I wanted to share a quick diy laurel wreath with you.

I try to decorate our front door for Christmas different every year . . . and this year, I thought I would use scraps from our Christmas tree and make a laurel wreath on a large grapevine wreath that I hang on our door year round.

I was surprised at how fast and easy it was to make this wreath.

I LOVE its simplicity!

 

materials

.     .     .     .     .     .

8-12 inch tree branches

fishing line or floral wire

grapevine wreath, any size
ribbon

diy

.     .     .     .     .     .

Clip several 8-12 inch branches
Start at the left and right top of the wreath and begin layering the branches toward the bottom

Once at the bottom, place shorter, fuller branches to fill it in

Using fishing line or floral wire, wrap the branches to the wreath in a circular pattern (at least 3 inches apart), until you've circled the laurel branch form. 

Use extra branches to "fill in" as needed. 

Adorn with ribbon or ornament.

Hang and enjoy!
