Master class: New Year's wreath from spruce or thuja branches
To make a wonderful wreath for the New Year and Christmas holidays, you will need:
- frame base for a wreath (can be made of wire, cardboard, rolled newspaper, etc.);
- glue (glue gun) or rope (wire);
- fir branches or thuja branches (cones, tinsel, berries, dried oranges, Christmas balls, etc.);
- secateurs or scissors;
- paint or artificial snow (optional);
- satin ribbons of red or gold color;
- various decorations (bells, stars, etc.).
Step 1. Cut out a base for a wreath from cardboard (a kind of donut that is better to wrap with paper, as in the photo) or make a circle from thick wire as shown in the photo.
Step 2 Spruce branches should be cut with secateurs or scissors into separate small green branches.
Step 3 Now, having connected the green branches of the thuja together in small bundles with a rope or wire, screw or tape these bundles to the frame. Branched small branches of the Christmas tree can be scrolled one at a time.
Step 4 It remains only to decorate the New Year's wreath to your liking and stylish decor can be hung on the door.
Ideas for fantasy ...
It doesn’t matter what the New Year’s wreath is made of, the most important thing is that it brings joy and gives only positive emotions. And you can make this wonderful decoration for your home from everything that the eye of the creator of the beautiful, that is, you, falls on.
Just take a lot of clothespins, paint them any color and get to work. A wire hanger can make a good frame for a wreath. You can also take beads of a suitable size and string them on a untwisted hanger, alternating with clothespins. Don't forget to decorate ours with ribbons. It is good to attach a soft toy in the form of a snowman, Santa Claus or a deer to the finished wreath.
Take a good look at the empty cardboard egg tray. Turning on imagination and fantasy, one cannot fail to notice that its cells are similar in shape to flower buds that are just about to fully bloom.
From the tray, you need to very carefully cut out the cells and, with the help of scissors, give them the shape of buds. It is remarkable that the cellulose, which is part of the egg tray, is well stained with any kind of paint. This allows us to boldly experiment with different colors, creating truly fabulous wreaths.
Very funny, but even from socks you can create a wonderful composition. You can string the socks cut at the toes onto the base for the wreath or twist each sock in the form of roses and glue them to the wreath.
All you need is cardboard, glue, and of course lots of buttons in your chosen color. Just glue the buttons, alternating small and large, to the cardboard "donut" and a very elegant decor element is ready! Also, large buttons can be strung on a rope and tied with a satin ribbon.
Such a stylish wreath is made according to the same principle as a Christmas wreath from clothespins. For greater structural strength, it is better to use two circles of wire. It is necessary to make holes in wine corks and string them on a wire, alternating them with large beads.
Don't let waste paper take up space in your home. Make a wonderful "newspaper" decor - Christmas tree toys, garlands, angels, decoupage candle decor, etc. And newspapers make excellent New Year's wreaths.
With the help of paper, magnificent airy wreaths can work out. Go through old photographs, clippings from colorful magazines, snowflakes, unusual envelopes. Surely there is something interesting to create a Christmas wreath. Just do not rush to immediately glue the found "treasures" to the base. Apply, rearrange, arrange, and only then proceed to the final fastener.
A great idea is a Christmas wreath with round cardboard boxes for small gifts. You can build a kind of calendar based on a Christmas wreath. Of course, it is better not to hang such “wealth” on the outside of the front door.
Did you know that the very first wreaths were made from just such natural materials? Such a composition looks simply magical, and practically does not require any costs.
If you want to surprise, then pasta painted with gold or silver paint on a Christmas wreath is the best way out! Just find some fancy shaped pasta, color it and arrange it on a wreath.
Dried orange and lemon slices are easily glued to foam or cardboard. If you want to make an apple wreath, then you need to use a very strong wire frame. Branches of mountain ash or viburnum can be easily screwed to the base with wire or stuck into foam, "foam" or plasticine.
Christmas wreath of Christmas balls
A wreath of bright and shiny balls for the Christmas tree looks truly festive. Balls can be either strung on a wire or glued with hot glue to the base of the wreath.
New Year's wreath of sweets
The only disadvantage of such a wreath is that they tend to “melt” very quickly, especially if there are small sweet teeth in the house. Soft candies can be pinned to the frame with toothpicks, and lollipops can be glued to each other, wetting the candy with water on one side.
One has only to tie a lot of balloons around the frame - and that's it! Creative New Year's wreath is ready.
Don't know where to put your old boring ties? Problem solved! Just wrap them around a wire or other frame and an extraordinary decor element can be hung on the door.
If you decide to make a wreath of cones, you can even do without a frame. Such a wreath made of natural material looks festive and really New Year's.
This option is ideal for those who want to get a beautiful decor at the very minimum cost. You just need to wrap the frame with tinsel (preferably green) and add small decorations.
New Year's beaded wreath
This delicate work will require quite a lot of effort and time, but the result will look impressive.
There is room for fantasy to roam: you can cut out a lot of snowflakes and muzzles of Christmas deer from felt and collect them all in one wreath; thick threads can be wrapped around a round frame and decorated with ribbons, bows and ribbons; you can make a lot of flowers from fabric and glue them on the base of the wreath.
This is the perfect wreath for a programmer. This version of the Christmas wreath once again proves that, in the process of making such a decor, almost any material can be used!
Preparing for the New Year is sometimes even more pleasant than the celebration itself. The whole family, including the youngest residents, can take part in the process of decorating the interior. You can decorate an apartment or house for the New Year holidays in a variety of ways, but recently New Year's wreaths, which are better known to us from romantic Hollywood Christmas films, have been very popular.

How can you budget and beautifully steal an apartment for the holiday? There are many options, but one of the simple options for New Year's decor is to make a beautiful simple festive wreath in the New Year's style.
This is a very simple form of decor, but it looks very beautiful and festive. You have probably already seen in European films that people decorate doors, walls and fireplaces with such wreaths during the Christmas period.
We also adopt their tradition and begin to create our own wreaths for the holiday from a variety of materials.
These decorations really lift my spirits!
Pine cone - is the most affordable type of decor in the Urals and Siberia. We have several city parks where pines and spruces are planted, so there are enough cones in abundance.
They can be used in their original form, or they can be smeared with glue or colorless varnish, strewn with sparkles.
By the way, the kids will also enjoy the lesson of creating a wreath.
Any Christmas decoration, like a wreath, consists of two parts: a base and a decor. The bases are very different: foam, paper, wire, fabric.
You can buy them in the store, or you can make them at home with your own hands.
Consider two options for the base:
- We make a round substrate for a wreath from paper. We take newspaper spreads or any other paper and fold it across, then wrap it with another similar spread, connect it with masking tape.
Try building up the ring to make it thicker.
Wrap the entire workpiece with masking tape for the final layer to get a white base.
- Also use cardboard as a base. Cut out a circle of the selected diameter from a cardboard sheet.
To make it voluminous, we glue crumpled paper to the base and glue it with masking tape.
Make a loop of strong thread on the base to hang the wreath.
We glue the wreath with cones with a hot gun, you can paint them or glue them with sparkles. And you can sprinkle "snow" from an aerosol on top.
Leave space among the cones for the balls, otherwise they will look ugly. Glue the Christmas balls between the cones to the base with hot glue or Crystal glue.
Decorate the wrong side with a ribbon of tinsel.
This will remove the artisanal look of the product.
How to make a New Year's wreath with your own hands on the door?
The front side of the doors meets your guests, and when they are already decorated, the guests will have a desire to take a closer look at your masterpiece and create such beauty themselves. Well, the mood, of course, will rise.
The decor in the form of a wreath on the door should hold well, so we make a loop of a thick thread for which you will hang your masterpiece.
One of the easy options for a wreath on the door is from Christmas balls.
You will need:
- Thicker wire
- 2 packs of small balls.
We make a ring out of wire.
Therefore, you need to take a thick wire so that it does not deform under the weight of the balls.
We thread the end of the wire into a skirt with a hole and string the balls, turning them in different directions.
Twist the ends of the wire.
Do-it-yourself crown made of felt: many ideas
Felt allows you to create very realistic figures. It also adheres well to both fabric and paper.

You can make New Year's shoes, Christmas trees, flowers and other attributes of the New Year.
I give several options for decorating a wreath with felt crafts.
Even from fabric ribbons you can create beauty.
Very New Year's.
Wreath for the New Year from balls and live spruce branches
The branch must be divided into small branches.
We put each subsequent one on top of the previous one and often wrap it with thread or rope.
Now we connect the ends of the branches and wrap them also in a spiral with a thread. It turned out a circle.
If there are bald spots somewhere, then report small branches to these places, wrapping them with threads to the base.
Now decorate with balloons and other decorations.
Balls can also be tied with fishing line to pine branches, or you can glue them with hot glue.
So that the needles do not quickly crumble, it is advised to put the branches for a week in glycerin, which will preserve the moisture and pigment inside the branches.
You can make a base of thick wire by gluing non-spruce branches to it, or you can tie the branches themselves together with wire in the form of a ring.
If you are using dried twigs or vines, then it is better to twist it in a spiral.
And you need to take branches of shrubs that do not prick.
A simple crown for the new year from tinsel
Tinsel is present in every home. This shaggy ribbon is an indispensable attribute of the New Year. It is decorated with walls, windows, Christmas tree. But it is interesting to use it for a wreath. Only tinsel is better to take bright, lush and well-kept on the base, so that there are no bald spots.
You can make a wreath of silver, gold or red elements, choosing the right tone of tinsel.
You will need:
- Wire
- masking tape
- Paper
- green paint
- 3 tinsels of 2 m
- Decor
We form a ring from thick wire so that it is durable.
We take any paper, wrap it around the wire and wrap it with masking tape.
We paint the workpiece green and let it dry.
Now glue the tinsel to the base. Fix the edge with hot glue.
In some places, already wound tinsel can be glued with hot glue.
You can wrap the wreath with Christmas beads, ribbon or braid.
It is better to paint the cones in white, golden colors or sprinkle them with a shimmer or grains of sparkles.
DIY New Year's wreath from burlap
Now comes the idea of everything natural. Therefore, you can take burlap as a highlight of the wreath. It is sold in hardware stores. Or you can buy the bag itself and cut it into ribbons of the desired width and length.
The beautiful texture and the deliberate roughness of the fabric will only add aesthetics to the decoration, especially if it is also decorated with natural materials: dry twigs, peach pits, cones, tourniquet or dried orange or lemon circles.
You will need:
- Paper wreath base covered with tape or wire base
- Pieces of burlap
- Cones, balls, candles and other decor
- hot glue gun
You can twist the wreath base from three wire rings of different diameters, but it is easier to replace it with a lightweight paper circle. A ring is formed from newspapers and covered with simple or masking tape. Paint it white or cover it with white paper.
Burlap can be put in bleach, then it will have a more interesting color, you can paint it with acrylic paint.
It is wrapped with burlap, the glue sticks all the folds and beautiful curves. Try to give more volume and folds.
Decor is already glued on it: cones, dyed apricot kernels or avocado seeds, beads, braid and more.
Paper and napkin wreath ideas
A lot of ideas are invented using only paper and its derivatives in creativity.
It will be beautiful if you make stars out of paper and stick them on the base.
And you can take a frame from toilet paper, they are hard to keep their shape and give the desired composition to the wreath.
Using toilet paper rolls
You will need:
- 5 bushings
- Green paint or spray
- glue gun
- beads
Bushings are needed not ecological, which dissolve in water, but ordinary ones, because we will paint them with green paint on both sides.
As soon as dry, mark the lines along the entire length of 1.5 cm and cut.
By the way, you can first cut the parts and then paint them, but there will be a lot of them and the process will be more laborious.
Now we form a flower of five petals and glue them together.
We fold the resulting flowers in the shape of a circle and also glue all the particles.
In the center we glue beads or buttons of scarlet or burgundy colors, as an attribute of the new year.
Try gluing ribbons, tinsel, or gold braid.
Wreath of napkins
Napkins are quite cheap and come in a variety of sizes and colors. It is better to take monochromatic shades.
You will need:
- Wreath base
- Pack of napkins
- Hot glue
- Decor
We make the substrate by folding newspaper spreads into a circle and wrapping them with masking tape.
Now we cut the package of plain-colored napkins into four parts.
We take a square of 3-4 layers, put a pencil in the middle so that the square fits on it, but does not make a hole, and glue the outer end with hot glue to the base.
So we do all over the whole base.
Now we glue the beads, light balls, shiny ribbons.
Have you found something interesting for yourself from all of the above? There are many more interesting reviews on how to create a wreath of candied fruit, a variety of small toys, using candles and garlands.
Have you seen circles decorated with tangerines or sweets?
The main thing is to respect the composition and the ratio of elements relative to each other.
You can also make not only the classic round shape, but also square or star-shaped.
The compositional point itself can be above, below or on the side.
And also evenly divided around the circle.
By the way, in this one I gave an example of an interesting wreath made from the bottoms of plastic bottles, which are interconnected by a thread. Every detail is pre-painted.
Agree, it does not look cheap at all? Even vice versa!
For such a wreath, you will need fresh colors: roses, chrysanthemums or any of your favorites and coniferous twigs.
If music is not alien to your heart, then you can try to make such a wreath.
Cut out the base from cardboard, braid it with braid and glue the cones from the music magazine.
Wreaths of dried fruits, citrus fruits, spices and cones with nuts look and smell very beautiful.
Decorating the house with a Christmas and New Year wreath is a very beautiful custom that came to us from Western countries. A few years ago, such wreaths looked rather exotic in Russia. But today it is an absolutely typical type of house decoration on the eve of Christmas, which is made from spruce branches and four candles, fixed vertically or placed on a table. According to Catholic custom, the first candle is lit on the first Sunday of the four-week fast - Advent, the next Sunday - the second, and so on.
This fragile wreath was made from Christmas decorations and frost. Just shine.

Christmas wreaths owe their appearance to the Hamburg Lutheran theologian Johann Hinrich Wiehern, who took on the upbringing of children from poor families. In the post, they kept asking when Christmas would come. And in order to make it easy for children to count the time until the holiday, in 1839 Wichern made a wreath based on the old wheel, which was decorated with nineteen small red and four large white candles. Every morning, one small candle was lit in a wreath, and on Sundays a large one was added to them.
The symbolism of Christmas wreaths highlights several basic meanings. At first, the addition of fire and light in wreaths symbolized the growing expectation of the birth of Jesus Christ - the light of the world. To everything was added the interpretation of the round shape, the symbolism of the wreath, due to spruce greenery, the colors of candles and decorative ribbons acquired additional significance. So Christmas wreaths and four candles began to be associated with the meaning of the globe and the four cardinal points. The circle is considered to be a symbol of eternal life that Sunday gives, the green color is the embodiment of life itself, and the candles are the light that illuminates the world on Christmas days. In Christmas tradition, it is customary to decorate wreaths with three purple candles and one pink candle, which corresponds to the liturgical colors of worship during the Advent period. The pink candle is lit on the third week of Advent, when Sunday is called Gaudete, or Rejoice!
And such a bright wreath can be made from bright scraps of fabric. Below the picture you will find a detailed master class.

And after determining the type of wreath and preparing the necessary materials, you can start working without any doubt.

So, in a wreath, the main thing is the base, its base, which will keep the decoration from scattering. The base is created from any suitable item. The classic base is natural raw materials in the form of straw, twigs, vines and even the rim of a wooden wheel. At worst, you can use wire. But in practice, any improvised material is taken as the basis of the wreath. So an excellent base will turn out from wires twisted and fixed in the form of a circle (for example, a simple extension cord). A piece of hose, a thick cardboard that can be glued together from several layers of a thinner one, newspapers compressed into bundles and fixed with a thin wire, a fabric in the form of a roller filled with cotton wool or padding polyester, and similar materials will also do.

You can also make a wreath that will be a decoration "for centuries" if you use artificial spruce branches, and then periodically change the decor. By the way, you can decorate a wreath not only with the usual New Year decorations, but also with everything that your imagination can tell you. For example - dried flowers, cones, berries, fruits, vegetables, cinnamon sticks, spices, citrus peel cut in a spiral, cayenne pepper, tangerines, apples, artificial and natural flowers, candies, sweets, Christmas cookies, garlands, Christmas tree decorations , decorative braid, beads and ribbons. Ordinary brushes and paints, silver and gold sprays and artificial snowballs will also come in handy.

Practical advice will also not be superfluous, for example, how to make a wreath from pine or spruce branches. Usually, a frame is first made of wire or other rigid material. Then coniferous branches of the desired length are cut and weaving of the wreath begins. The branches are laid in a clockwise direction, and the bare part of the previous branch is covered by the lush part of the next. The second layer is woven in the opposite direction, which will help to add volume to the product. Between themselves, the branches are fastened with wire, and it is better to take green, which will be invisible against the background of needles. Thin garden or craft wire will also work. The number of layers is taken such that Christmas wreath, handmade done, will be pleasing to the eye. Then the wreath is braided with a satin ribbon and decorated with materials of your choice. Usually such a wreath is hung on the front door or on the wall, and also placed on a coffee table or shelf. But the future location of the wreath needs to be thought out in advance, because it can turn out to be quite heavy, which will not hold on to the mount of adhesive tape or pushpin, and you don’t always want to spoil the wall with a thick nail. Therefore, even before starting work with a wreath, you need to decide on its placement. If it is possible to fix it vertically on a strong mount, then you can make a heavy version of the wreath, and if the mount is rather flimsy, then it is better to choose a lighter form, which makes the decoration no worse. And if you still want to make a weighty thing, but the mount did not work out, then you can place the wreath on a horizontal surface - a table, shelf, stand. But here it will be possible to let your imagination run wild and load the wreath with any, even the heaviest toys. It will look so beautiful rather heavy, but very symbolic Christmas wreath of cones, decorated with gold spray, artificial snow, nuts and apples. Candles are traditionally inserted into such a wreath laid on the table. To fix them well, you can heat the wire and stick it perpendicularly into the base of the candle, then fix the wire to the main frame and decorate the lower part by a third with coniferous branches.

Assembled triangles are placed on a cardboard sheet with a wreath-shaped circle drawn in the upper part: from a darker color to a lighter one, which will create the illusion of volume. At the same time, the acute angle of the module is hidden under the previous figures, as in real branches. Then a candle made of pink cardboard with a yellow flame made of paper is “placed” in the center of the wreath. Paper snowflakes cling to the serpentine ribbons, as if hanging from a wreath. A cardboard sheet can be taken into a wooden frame or an edging can be made from the same bright cardboard. That's it - unexpected and cute. Happy holidays to you!
