It’s all about the door
So here are some of my DIY Christmas wreaths and I’m starting with my fir cone reindeer wreath, which has been causing a stir on ITV‘s This Morning and was also picked up by Ideal Home Magazine.
Fir cone bottoms!
That’s not a phrase I ever thought I’d be saying, but to make this one you need to get to the butt of the cone. So remove the top of the fir cones with a knife or pliers so they are flat enough to stick to the base.
This year I made all of my wreath bases from cardboard boxes – which have been in abundance, having been forced to do so much shopping online.
Hey presto you have a cheeky wreath to raise a smile.
Rainbow wreath
With rainbows all the rage, I decided to make a really colourful ribbon rainbow wreath.
Again I cut a cardboard circle and this time added some curtain interlining I had left over to raise it slightly.
On the same theme I also glued some pom poms to a cardboard base for a wreath and to some fairy lights for a colourful garland.
Make sure you use fairy lights that won’t heat up.
I also made a colourful one by clipping decorated pegs to a cardboard base.
