DIY Christmas Wreath Kit

before you begin

Whether you are first time wreather or an annual maker, it’s always a good idea to remind yourself of a few basic fixing techniques to ensure all your bits and pieces are secured properly to your base.


We have included particular wires and pins for each decorative item so do try and stick to using the correct ones before attaching each item to your wreath.


Our design is quite classic and we’ve included an illustrated step by step guide for you to follow. The guide will help you achieve the wreath as illustrated in the final photograph.


If you are confident and have styling ideas of your own with additional decorations to add then go for it and enjoy yourself - you only get to do this once a year!

STEP ONE

Begin by preparing all your decorative items.

Ensure you have all the correct pins and wires for each and have followed the guide in our previous pages.

STEP TWO

Start by pinning your bow to the wreath with a mossing pin.

Press the pin firmly into the wreath ring.

STEP THREE

Secure three Cinnamon bundles in a half moon shape at the base of your wreath.

Press your mossing pin firmly into the base of the wreath to secure.

STEP FOUR

Attach pairs of Orange slices next.

Ensure these are spaced equally around the face of the wreath. Press the mossing pin firmly but be careful not to cut through the slice when doing so.

STEP FIVE

Add your large Pinecones next. These should take in the inner and outer edges of your wreath. Nestle some of the cones in and amongst the foliage.


For best results slide the hairpins in at an angle.

STEP SIX

Add four dried Limes next, distribute these in the spaces you have created after placing your Pinecones.


Again, slide the wiring into the wreath at an angle
to secure.
