Welcome
Getting started
Ho Ho Ho • This rustic yet stylish wreath is a fun mix of nature with Santa’s Ho Ho Ho. Built on a natural grapevine wreath, this design would look good outside or in the house for the festive season.
Larch Cones and Acorns • Using just larch cones and acorns, you can create a design that is elegant and natural. Snow effect and glitter give that extra Christmassy feel.
Bright Bauble • This wreath gives a real pop of festive color to any front door. Made up of affordable, plastic-coated baubles, it’s completely weatherproof and should last for years.
Figgy Pudding • Have fun with pom-poms in this project, making a feature of a traditional British dessert.
Traditionally Christmas • This wreath is a take on the traditional Christmas tree, with lots of mixed decorations that many of us had as children.
Gilded Feathers • This project uses plain, inexpensive craft feathers and turns them into an exquisite patterned feather. Craft feathers and metal leaf come in so many colors that the design combinations are endless.
Pearls for the Party • “A wreath is for life and not just for Christmas”—what a true statement for this design straight from King Neptune’s palace!
Ribbon Tree • This isn’t a classic shape wreath, but I thought it would be a fun take on the Christmas theme and would look cute hanging on a door.
Willow Sunburst • This wreath is designed for your wall rather than a door, but you could make a smaller one by simply cutting each twig shorter!
Poinsettia Posy • This design is simple and elegant and would look lovely on a door or hung inside as a decoration. I’ve chosen a gold and red color palette, but it would look great in any color combination.
Naturally Christmas • Try this rustic-style wreath using simply the naturally beautiful colors of pine cones.
Jingle Bells • For a modern, clean Christmas wreath, this simple style works perfectly. The color choice is yours. The addition of bells gives that Christmas chime every time you open your door.
Pom-pom Polar Bear • The perfect Christmas wreath to adorn any child’s bedroom door, this is so cute it could stay up all year round!
Snowflake Slices • Slices of wood are great for making a rustic natural wreath. This design is about 11in (28cm) in diameter, but could be made bigger by using more wood slices.
Hearts and Stars • If you live by the ocean there’s nothing more relaxing than beachcombing for driftwood. However, don’t worry if you don’t, as this project could easily be made from garden twigs. Don’t forget to make sure the wood is dry and woodworm free!
Pheasant Fun • In this project you simply push feathers into a floristry ring. You could choose any type of natural, beautifully colored feathers—their intricate patterns do all the design work for you.
Christmas-tastic • If you love Christmas and want a quick and easy, blingy festive wreath, this is the one for you.
Pearl Profusion • This design is small yet mighty. The finished wreath is beautiful and would look amazing in any elegant setting.
Forest Vista • The beauty of this design is its simplicity. It’s the most pared...
