Create the illusion that the decoration is literally floating above the table. Both children and adults will be impressed by what they see.

How to make a Christmas tinsel wreath

The easiest way to make a Christmas decoration is to use a variety of tinsel that can be found in any home to create it. Carefully inspect the boxes of spruce decorations for anything extra. Perhaps some kind of toy or tinsel no longer looks very good, which is why you don’t want to attach them to a tree. For a wreath, they will definitely come in handy. If there are no such toys, choose something that can be fixed to the workpiece without worrying about safety. It is especially important to do this if you plan to hang a wreath in the entrance.


  • thick wire;
  • wrapping paper or kraft;
  • scotch;
  • green paint;
  • tinsel (3 pieces, 2 m each);
  • glue gun;
  • Christmas tree beads;
  • cones;
  • gold powder;
  • wrapping;
  • blanks for gifts;
  • golden ribbon.

Accessory creation step by step:

  • make a preparation. For a Christmas tinsel wreath, you need a blank. You can make it yourself. We will tell you step by step how to do it right. Roll the wire into a circle and start winding the next rows over the first row;

It is necessary that the workpiece be dense. Otherwise, it will not be able to support the weight of the jewelry that you are going to attach to it.

  • wrap the workpiece with paper. Wrap the workpiece with paper, crumpling it a little to make it easier to attach. If you are using not a single sheet, but several leaves, secure each of them separately with tape. Use wide masking tape. It is inconvenient to fasten paper with an ordinary small skein. Repeat this step twice to make the finished exterior look more voluminous;
  • paint the base. In case something peeks out from under the tinsel, paint the base with green paint. As a rule, green rain is used in the process of making a wreath. Choose the right shade of paint for it. To dry the paint quickly, dry it lightly with a hair dryer;
  • glue the tinsel. Watch the video on how to properly glue tinsel on a DIY Christmas wreath blank;

  • make decorations. Now it remains to make decorations and attach them to the workpiece. Make bows out of beautiful golden paper. Wrapping paper and pieces of plastic (or some other material) will be needed to make toy gifts. They will also need a beautiful thin ribbon, preferably red. After gluing the wrapping paper to the workpiece, tie beautiful bows. Decorate the cones with gold powder. Fasten the decorations on the base and straighten. Try to evenly distribute them on the decor item;
  • think about how you will hang the wreath. Some prefer to mount it on the front door directly on the adhesive tape. However, we believe that it is better to mount the accessory on a magnet. So you can fix it tightly on the door without using additional unnecessary parts.


Felt wreath technique

  • felt;
  • Christmas tree branches (artificial or natural);

  2. Cut flowers out of the wind. Use pre-created or downloaded from the Internet blanks. Then it remains to fasten them together with a thread with a needle.
  3. Glue the felt flowers onto the burlap. The next stage of work on a DIY Christmas wreath is gluing the felt onto the burlap. For this you need a glue gun. How to use it correctly is indicated on the package.
