So, let's start creating!

Christmas wreaths are an interesting and versatile decorative element. It can be used to decorate almost any room and object, since the wreath can be either hung or simply placed on a flat surface.
We owe the appearance of the Advent wreath to the Lutheran theologian Johann Hinrich Wichern. As the story goes, he mentored several orphans in the early 19th century. The theological expert in every possible way expanded the children’s knowledge in the field of theology, and to make religious dogmas easier for them to perceive, he came up with a variety of “ visual aids" To count down the days of fasting before Christmas, he came up with a wreath, or rather, it was an ordinary wheel on which candles were placed (a kind of prototype of the future Advent wreath), which played the role of calendar days– small candles were lit on weekdays, and large ones on weekends.

So, once upon a time the Advent wreath replaced the calendar, and after a significant amount of time, it turned into a symbolic and beautiful attribute of the New Year holidays.

The Christmas wreath began to be decorated in all sorts of ways - with fir branches, New Year's toys, ribbons, etc. And also, he changed the location - now not only tables are decorated with wreaths, but they are also hung on doors and windows. Thus, while maintaining the status of a symbol of the winter holidays, the Christmas wreath has completely lost its original purpose and meaning.

There are no restrictions in creating Christmas wreaths, and within the same apartment wreaths made in different techniques and from absolutely different materials.

To make our New Year's wreath we will need:

1. Thick cardboard for making a circle.

2. Old unnecessary magazines, newspapers to create the volume of the wreath.

3. Artificial spruce branches, New Year's balls of different diameters, satin ribbons, New Year's beads, fir cones, a glue gun and glue sticks for it, masking tape, green corrugated paper and various New Year's elements.

Stages of work:

1. We prepare cones. We select by size (this depends on the radius of the wreath), if the radius is large (25-30 cm), then the cones are larger, if the radius is small (18-23 cm), then the cones are smaller. Coloring the pine cones acrylic paint(spray can).

2. Decide on the radius of the wreath. Cut from thick cardboard circle as shown in the photo above. We fold an accordion out of old magazines or newspapers and glue it tightly to the circle.

3. In this way we fill the entire circle.

4. Wrap this blank tightly with masking tape.

5. Then we wrap the workpiece with green corrugated paper.

6. Strengthen the hanger. This could be some kind of decorative loop or satin ribbon. In my case it was a satin ribbon.

7. We begin to fill the circle with spruce branches. We glue the twig so that part of the twig looks to the side, and the other part is tightly glued to the circle. Glue with a glue gun.

8. Gradually fill the outer and inner circle of the wreath.

9. Fill the circle with spruce branches so that there is space left in the center for decorative elements.

10. We begin to decorate the wreath. Glue cones and New Year's balls of different diameters.

11. It is important not to overload the wreath with various elements, but this is a matter of taste...

12. I made wreaths as gifts for all my family and friends, this is what I came up with!

13. If the wreath is not made of spruce branches, then the color corrugated paper maybe not green, but to match the color of your wreath, as in my case the paper was pink.

14. Happy and fruitful creativity to everyone! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!

At first, the addition of fire and light in the wreaths symbolized the growing anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ - the light of the world. An interpretation has been added to everything round shape, the symbolism of the wreath due to the spruce greenery, the colors of candles and decorative ribbons acquired additional meaning. Thus, Christmas wreaths and four candles began to be associated with the meaning of the globe and the four cardinal directions. The circle is considered to be a symbol of eternal life, which Sunday gives, the green color is the embodiment of life itself, and candles are the light that illuminates the world on Christmas days.

How to do it or a small master class

Almost any wreath can be made with your own hands from available materials. It is good to cut the base out of cardboard, plywood or thick foam - it is important that the parts are attached to the base material with glue, small nails or pins.

We offer schematic instructions for making original jewelry to help - step by step photos. The first two steps, as can be seen in the photo, are the same for any decor option.

Preparatory stage

The basis. The size of the future product depends on where it will be located - on front door outside, on a window, in a display case, on a table or on a living room wall. Using a compass or ordinary plates, draw 2 concentric circles at a distance of about 10 cm from each other. Cut out the ring.
On back side You should attach a loop of twine or thin wire to secure it to a door or window.

Warmth of textiles

Wrap the prepared base around the ring with satin or velvet ribbon, braid, rope or thread - the wreath is ready! Examples are in the photo. All that remains is to add Christmas touches - an impromptu candle, fir paws, bows and other decorations.

Balls of multi-colored wool and fragments of knitting, ostentatiously pinned to the ring with knitting needles, look wonderful. A sort of symbol of home.

Gifts from a squirrel

Nuts are a wonderful material for making New Year's decorations. Use a glue gun to attach them to the circle.

Colored burlap

A wonderful, textured, pliable material - burlap, cut into squares with a side of 15 - 20 cm.
Fold each square in half into a triangle, then long ends pull it to the central corner (connect sharp corners with straight corners). It turns out to be a square with a depression.
Using small nails or pins, we attach the free edge of the square to the base braided with straw or twine, and overlap the next one, gradually filling the surface of the ring.

An unusual wreath with soft corners can be decorated with bows, small cones, candies or Christmas balls, leaves cut from the same burlap, spruce branches, arranging them in any order.

New Year's wreath from a carpentry workshop

Having prepared identical wooden rectangles, fasten them to the base in a random or strict geometric order. Additional decor– pine paws, bows, berries. An example is in the photo.

Snow wreath made from paper napkins

Preparing the filling. Round napkins Fold in four to create triangles with a rounded lace edge.
We attach each triangle with a pin to the foam template, as shown in the photo, then, as close as possible to the first, the second, third, and so on, until the entire surface of the base ring is covered under an improvised snow layer.
Decorate the snow circle with a bright red bow, one or four (imitating 4 candles).

Unusual material

The original material is an exhaust pipe. It is enough to bend a shiny, neat exhaust pipe that is the same along its entire length into a ring and mask the connection point beautiful ribbon, New Year's "rain".

Christmas decorations

As a base, you can use a wire trempel - a clothes hanger. Leave the hook intact to secure the masterpiece. Unbend the rest of the wire and bend it again, now in the shape of a ring, and then hook the very tip to our hook.

All that remains is to string the Christmas tree balls in any order, of any size and color. There's a lot of people here! But the wreath turns out bright and original.

As an option: you can come up with cute products from tinsel, satin ribbons, even from ordinary pasta!

A New Year's wreath attached to the outside of the front door invites guests; lying on the table speaks of the cordiality of the owners; greeting passers-by from a window or shop window pleases the eye and lifts the mood.
