Equipment

  • Hot glue gun
  • scissors

Ingredients

  • Foam wreath form size of your choice.
  • Black and white fluffy yarn.
  • Black and white buffalo check ribbon
  • Red ribbon
  • Greenery stems
  • Red berry Stems mine came decorated with pine leaves and pinecones
  • Thinner yarn floral wire, or anything easy to hide to secure items to the wreath.

Instructions

FIRST STEP: WRAP THE WREATH FORM WITH BLACK AND WHITE YARN

  • Firstly, decide what color of yarn you are going to start with. I started with white.
  • Start wrapping your yarn around your foam wreath form. I decided to make 2-inches stripes and that got me around 10-12 loops with this thick yarn.
  • Once your white stripe is done, don’t cut it, just leave it sideband.
  • Start rapping with the black yarn slightly overlapping the white yarn string.
  • Then swap and leave aside the black yarn and wrap it with the white until you finish the whole wreath.
  • When you have finished the whole wreath form, cut your yarn leaving a couple of inches to make a knot.
  • Cut excess.

STEP 2: ADD THE GREENERY

  • Now get your greenery stems and bend them to make a semi-circle to match your wreath form.
  • Place them in opposite directions meeting in the center of what you decide will be the bottom of your wreath.
  • Make sure you hide the metallic stems (wires) among the leaves.
  • Secure with a string of yarn the same color that the center is on your wreath making a knot on the back. In my case it was white.
  • Then secure on both ends of the greenery stems the same way as above.
  • Then insert your red berries stems between the greenery leaves and secure them if necessary with twine or matching yarn.

STEP 3: ADD A BOW

  • Make a cute buffalo check ribbon bow. In the video, you can see how I made mine.
  • Glue 2 strings of yarn on the back of the bow and place them in the middle of the greenery stems and secure the bow on the back with each string separately.
  • Cut the excess yarn from all the knots on the back.

STEP 4: HANG THE CHRISTMAS WREATH

  • Finally, Use your red ribbon for your hanger.
  • Hang your black and white Christmas wreath and there you go!!!
