Simple and Creative DIY Christmas Wreath Ideas and Designs

Christmas Wreath Meaning

The history of the homemade wreath goes back for centuries. The early Romans would gift the evergreen branches to family and friends at the beginning of each year to wish health and strength upon them. The branches were then twisted and shaped into simple wreaths. It is believed that the wreaths were then placed on doors to symbolize joy and victory.

Traditional Evergreen Christmas Tree

In Christianity, the circular shape represents eternity or life never ending – Christ. Originally, the Christmas wreaths were decorated with four candles around the circle, and one in the center. The center candle was lit on Christmas Eve to symbolize the arrival of Jesus Christ.

Traditional Holly Christmas Wreath

Also, for wreaths made of holly, Christianity believes that the holly leaves represent the thorns on Jesus’ crown when he was crucified. The red holly berries symbolize the blood that Jesus shed for his people.

How to Make a Christmas Wreath

Once you have your inspiration, gather all of your decorating components and accessories for your wreath. Next, make sure you have all of the required tools based on your design. A circular base, scissors, hot glue, tape, and super glue are the typical tools required.

How to make a Christmas Wreath

Making a Christmas wreath from scratch can be difficult to form into a perfect circle. In order to make your life easier, try using a Styrofoam or wire base as those shown below to get started. Once you have your base, all you need to do is decorate till your heart is content.

Last but not least, make sure that you add a ribbon on the back of your wreath if you want to hang it on display. Make sure that you use extra adhesive as this will have a lot of weight and movement throughout its display.

If you do not have access to a Styrofoam circle for a base, you have multiple options. Cut an old wire hanger and bend it into the form of a circle for your template. Having a wire base allows for you to use different decorative materials and create a thinner wreath such as those below.
