2 X 12" WIRE WREATH RINGS, MOSSING RINGS CHRISTMAS HOLLY WREATH DOOR HANGERS.

Product Information

Keep working with larger pieces until you run out, then start with smaller pieces and bright touches like sprigs with berries. Personalise! You can add beautiful Christmas decorations such as cute bows, tiny bells, colourful baubles and glitter. I usually do a test placement of the accessories I want to add to the wreath and arrange them on top of the foliage without attaching them. This allows me to position things properly to get the best patterns and colour dispersal.

Here are B&M’s DIY Christmas wreath making instructions that will help you make beautiful decorations to impress friends, family and neighbours. What you’ll need for homemade Christmas wreaths Lay the prepared greenery on top of the moss, adding one piece at a time in the same direction and securing it with a single wrap of wire. Overlap the holly to ensure no moss is visible and continue until the whole ring is covered The exact materials are varied and depend on the style of wreath, the look you want to achieve, and seasonal differences. However, there are three core components present in any wreath – the base, foliage, and decorative items. Lyonshall Nurseries also make some beautiful holly wreaths from variegated holly. Again using sustainable holly from our orchards, we use cream or golden variegated holly. The designs can be of one variety or a mixture of green & variegated forms. These fresh wreaths are also decorated using similar materials as our traditional green holly designs mentioned above. Secure your wreath to a wreath hook on your door. It’s easy to find super-strong all purpose hooks that are self-adhesive.For a fuller wreath, supplement your stems with extras cut from your garden or forage some on winter walks in the countryside. Birch branches, holly and ivy make pretty additions. If your fresh wreath has natural foliage and you water it regularly you can expect it to last for 6-8 and longer. Natural wreaths are seasonal though and will need to be replaced. Each bundle should contain a mix of foliage to add contrast and to spread out the different types evenly through the wreath. B&M Top Tip: You could even use B&M’s LED round wire garland as a base to make your wreath light up! Fasten one end of the reel of wire to the ring and start to wrap the wire around the moss in a circular fashion. Keep the wire taut and continue working the wire round the ring , adding more moss bundles until completely covered

The foliage typically looks better with the stems pointing inwards, and the leaves and greenery pointing outwards to create a fan shape. Seasonal foliage (you can find holly leaves in all kinds of hues. Include the berries for a pop of colour. Evergreen sprigs also look great, You may even want to include small pine cones and other fun natural elements) We then have my favorite part – the foliage and decorative items. The possibilities here are endless and I love the variety of colours, styles, and shapes you can weave into your wreaths. Foliage includes things like branches of spruce, pine, and yew, or seasonal greenery like holy. You should now have a chunky circle of moss and this can actually create a beautiful wreath in its own right! If you don’t do anything else though, the moss will just drop off when you lift it up and we don’t want that!It’s a simple process of then repeating this around the entire moss wreath base to create a complete circle. Some handy tips for placement and visual appeal include: Tie off the wire with a few extra wrapsaround the wreath then draw a longer piece of wire up to form a loop to hang the wreath and finish off with a bow Wreath making rings (1 ring per wreath) - these are available online and can be made of wire, cardboard or floral foam) To secure it, take the wire you have previously attached and tightly wind it around the moss in one-inch intervals. Make sure that at each revolution you pull it tight for maximum stability. Once you have done this the entire way around, keep the wire attached to your reel as we will need this for the next step.
