EASY DIY WINTER WREATH FOR FRONT DOOR DECOR

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• plain pine wreath
• pine and winterberry branch combo
• frosty pine branches
• pine cones (if not attached to branch combo)
• wire snips
• floral wire – 22 gauge

WREATH FORM TIP:

My pine wreath had a double metal ring as the base. You can still use florist wire to attach branches to other types of wreath bases, however, any individual cut frosty sprigs may need to be attached with hot glue.

HOW TO MAKE A WINTER WREATH – TUTORIAL

Separate the two rows of pine by pushing the inner pine towards the inside of wreath and the outer pine towards the outside of wreath.

Bend and curve the pine and berry branch to follow the wreath circle somewhat, but not perfect. Place the swag at the outer metal ring (or around whatever type of wreath your have.)

Clip a piece of florist wire.

Hold the branch in place and flip the wreath over so you are looking at the backside and the branch is underneath.

Attach the branch to the wreath by wrapping wire around the branch combo and the outer ring. Pull the wire snug and twist a few times to secure.

Flip the wreath over so you are looking at the front side.

Clip a piece of florist wire.

Secure the branch combo with wire near the top of each branch this time. Don’t pull and attach too tight or the swag will look smushed.

Repeat the same instructions for the second pine and berry branch combo. View the photo below to see how the branches need to butt up against one another.

Snip off some frosty pine pieces at the base of each snowy pine branch stem.

Insert the frosted pine pieces in various areas of the pine wreath to give a variegated greenery look.

ADDING NATURAL ELEMENTS TO YOUR FRONT DOOR WREATH:

You can always add a real natural element to your front door wreath if you have a pine tree or cedar tree for fresh greens or pine cones. If you’re lucky enough to have a winterberry bush in your yard you can cut berry winter stems and add them to your simple wreath. 

ADDING A RIBBON BOW TO YOUR WINTER WREATH:

If you are a fan of bows, make one of neutral or colorful ribbons with coordinating winter colors from your wreath.

Now, you can stand back and admire your beautiful winter wreath that will look so pretty greeting visitors to your front porch!

I hope my DIY winter wreath idea provided you with inspiration for your own front door decorations.
