The Symbolism of Christmas Wreath

In modern traditions, the Christmas wreath has lost its symbolism and is used as a decoration. Spruce branches, holly, mistletoe and poinsettia are often used for its preparation. These plants are known for their ability to stay green throughout the winter. Also, the Christmas poinsettia flower has a very important role to make the wreath more festive. The choice of flowers should never be random!

As well as that, there is a belief that if two lovers kiss under a wreath of mistletoe on Christmas night, their life together will be full of happiness. So, this decoration is hung above the front door or placed on a festive table. In the second case, candles are often used to light them on New Year's or Christmas Eve.

How to Make a Christmas Wreath

The Christmas wreath is one of the main elements in holiday decorations. Instead of using a ready-made one, we suggest that you make a unique wreath yourself. We have collected some inspirations to give your imagination a starting point. Try to match the wreath with the style of decoration at home.

You will need - a circle base and decorative materials, glue, ribbons, threads and lots and lots of inspiration.

1. Your base can be wire, cardboard or plastic. The important thing is that it does not bend in order to keep the round shape of the wreath. Match the size of the base to the space that the wreath should occupy.

2. The decoration can be whatever you like. Use leftover ribbons, wrapping paper or even colorful pages from an illustrated magazine. You can also use corks, cinnamon sticks, sticks or fir branches. And don’t forget the fresh branches and flowers. Combine them to create a balanced and clean wreath.

3. One of the most popular techniques in recent years is the Christmas tree ball wreath. If you have extra, you can string them onto a wire hoop. You can also make one from a clothes hanger. Then tightly string balls of different sizes to cover the wire. You can combine balls in one color range, several colors or all possible shades that are sold.

4. You can make a wreath from the most amazing materials at hand - balls of yarn, cookie cutters, newspaper, popcorn, paper clips and others. Free your creativity and imagination and let them guide you.
