Ever made your own Christmas wreath? Neither had I till this past weekend. Jonesing for some long over due craft time, I decided to get crafty this weekend and take our Christmas tree trimmings and turn them into a wreath for the front door. The best part about doing this is you can make the wreath as big or as small as you like. And seeing as my Christmas decoration philosophy is the bigger the better, I went big. Here's what you'll need to do to make your own!
::Supplies::
{1} Tree Trimmings
{2} Scissors
{3} Zip ties
::Instructions::
{1}Gather your tree trimmings and lay them flat.
{2}Begin to layer branches
{3}Secure branches with zip ties
{4}Continue to layer and secure until you have a line of desired length. Note that the longer the line of secured branches the bigger the wreath.
{5}Take the two ends of the branches and join together securing with a zip tie to form a circle.
{6}Trim branches to make a more concise circle. I had to trim most of mine from the center of the wreath because it looked a bit just like a solid circle and not a wreath.
{7}Attach a bow and hang from the front door!
What is your favorite holiday diy? Let me know. I'd love to try it out!
