Crafting a Magnificent Contemporary Eco-friendly Christmas Wreath
This holiday season, bring a touch of nature into your home with the Modern Organic Christmas Wreath, a charming and eco-friendly DIY project. With a combination of real and faux greenery, you can create a wreath that exudes an authentic scent while maintaining year-round durability.
To start, gather your supplies: a grapevine wreath base (14-inch recommended), fresh fir, pine, or spruce branches, faux eucalyptus stems or preserved greenery, pinecones, berries, dried flowers, ribbons, floral wire, wire cutters, a hot glue gun, florists' tape or twine.
First, prepare the base by reshaping the grapevine wreath as needed. You can cut and layer multiple rings for fullness, securing with floral wire if necessary.
Next, layer the fresh evergreen branches. Secure the stems in small bundles with floral wire and arrange them evenly around the wreath base for a natural fragrance and organic texture. Leave space for faux elements to be added on top.
Add faux elements like eucalyptus or other faux foliage in the gaps created between the fresh greenery. Faux stems add volume and maintain a green appearance longer without wilting.
Incorporate natural accents such as pinecones, dried berries, and dried flowers for added texture and color contrast. This emphasizes an earthy, modern look.
Finish off the wreath by tying on a simple ribbon or twine for hanging or decoration. Use neutral or muted tones to maintain the modern organic aesthetic.
To fill any gaps, consider adding bells to the top center of the wreath. The stems are attached to the grapevine wreath by sliding them in between the branches and reinforcing some of them with floral wire.
