DIY White and Red Christmas Wreath
From a few inexpensive supplies and a few quick steps, you can make a great-looking wreath that will look great on your front door. This Simple Buffalo Check White and Red Christmas Wreath it’s so crazy easy to make and looks so festive and beautiful on the door. A perfect touch for your Christmas decor. Here’s how to do it.
Equipment
- Pins
- Hot glue gun
- scissors
Ingredients
- Foam wreath form – the size of your choice.
- Red and white buffalo check Ribbon
- Red ribbon
- Rustic white burlap ribbon.
- 2 Christmas tree sprig
- 2 Cranberry sprigs
- Twine.
Instructions
- Get your foam wreath form (I created mine with pool noodle if you are interested in making it yourself) and start wrapping it with your buffalo check ribbon.
- Then decide what’s going to be the top of your wreath, wrap about 3 inches of the foam wreath with the burlap ribbon.
- If like me, you don’t want to use glue, secure your ribbon with a piece of twine or a pin.
- Once done, it’s time to add the springs.
- Then bend your tree springs to fit the curve on the wreath.
- Do the same for both springs
- Secure each spring with a strip of twine tied on the back.
- Then insert the cranberry springs one on each side and style as you like.
- Again secure with twine on the back.
- Now, create a gorgeous Christmas bow. I showed how to make one 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!
- I used hot glue to secure the bow knot on the back and then to glue the ties.
- Once the bow was ready, I secured it to the spring branches but not to the wreath foam.
- Always remember to cut your twine excess so it doesn’t show anywhere.
- Important to fluff your pretty bow when you finish.
- Finally, I added a last-minute touch: A wooden Christmas tree ornament.
- I hung it directly on the wreath hanger and then placed the door.
