Red and White Rustic Christmas Wreath Tutorial
I don’t know what is it about wreaths that I love so much. I’ve made it my tradition to always have at least one every year during the holiday season and the funny part is that last 2 years I’ve made 2: one for the front door and one for the living room. My rustic Christmas decorations are getting there!
Here are some of my past Christmas Wreaths if you want to check them out:
- Buffalo Check & Gnomes Christmas Wreath
- Monogrammed Buffalo Plaid Christmas Wreath
- Farmhouse Christmas Wreath
It took me about 30 minutes or less to make this cute wreath. Seriously!
This wreath is made in a way that I could undo it and store it easily. So next year, I can make a different one! We shall see!
I love how it turned out and love coming to the living room and see this pretty wreath hanging there above my sofa welcoming me and anyone who visits us!
This project is also super inexpensive and easy to make, the wreath is from a dollar store, the ribbon and the greenery are from a Chinese store. I used twine to attach the parts together and only used hot glue to put the bow together and glue the twine as an attachment.
But don’t get me wrong, the fact that it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean has less value, has way more than you think. I put some thought, lots of love, and creativity to make it look pretty and welcoming.
In my opinion, handmade items have way more value than anything expensive. Making my own home decor fills up my heart every time I enter a room!

Now let’s see how this Christmas Wreath is made.
Supplies:
- Grapevine Wreath
- Buffalo Plaid white and red ribbon or fabric (2 inches wide)

- 2 Cranberry sprigs
- Twine
- A small strip of yarn
Tools:

1. Firstly, decide which way the grapevine wreath is going to be. it’s usually irregular so decide the best placement for the hanger and the greenery.
2. Then bend your tree springs to fit the curve on the wreath.
3. Secure each spring with a strip of twine tied on the back.
4. Do the same for both springs
5. Then insert the cranberry springs one on each side and style as you like.
6. Now it’s time to create a cute Christmas bow. I showed in a quick way how to make it on the video and also in last year’s Christmas wreath video but it’s kind of a quick video. If you would like me to create a detailed tutorial on how to make this bow, let me know and I’ll get to it!
7. I used hot glue to secure the bow knot on the back and then to glue the ties.
8. Position your bow in place and tie it to the wreath on the back.
9. Fluff your bow as you like.
10. Lastly, Cut a strip of ribbon for the hanger. This is optional depending on where you are going to hang it.
11. Hang it on your favorite stop and voila!
You are good to go!
Crafting Tips
- Don’t glue stuff directly to the wreath form, instead, you can wrap strips of fabric or a cheap ribbon around the wreath so you can glue over it. That way when you are done, you can just cut the fabric or ribbon and reuse the wreath form.
- If you’re working with kids on this type of project who are not experienced with handling hot glue guns carefully, make sure you use a low-temperature glue gun and stay with them all the time until they handle it well.
- I recommend using a good sharp pair of scissors. But if you are working with kids then use snub-nosed, classroom scissors and be with them the whole time.
- Always visit thrift stores and dollar trees, you might find really good items such as cute ornaments, pinecones, and decor items to help you create an amazing wreath.
I hung it in my living room above the sofa.
I just love how it looks!

Frequently Asked Questions
For this one specifically, I recommend grapevine wreath form. But you can be creative and use other wreaths such as a foam wreath and wrapped in burlap or optionally, you can use a pool noodle and create your own wreath base and even make larger wreaths and warp them in rustic fabrics or ribbons.
You can use any ribbon you like, this one is a fabric white and red buffalo check ribbon, but you can use burlap ribbon, fabric scraps, or really anything that works for you.
You can find super cute springs at a dollar store, craft stores, Etsy shops, or even Amazon.
Wall decor – Use a piece of ribbon or cord to hang the wreath on a wall, mantle, window, or door. On a tabletop – put a hurricane vase with a candle in the center.
