When we got the decorations out I decided that out old wreath was looking rather shabby, time to make a new one! I managed to find the wooden wreath base at Yuzawaya then I had planned to pick up some more decorations but then I spotted a couple of meters of tinsel that I hadn't used when decorating the house.
So... four meters of tinsel wrapped around the wreath base, 10 minutes and taa-daa....
This would be a fun craft to do with the kids too.
What you need:
- A pre-made wreath or ring of some kind. I had a woven branch wreath.
- 4m or so of tinsel
- Something to make a hook with if your wreath doesn't have one.
If you are doing it with kids, it'll be easier if you start it off for them. Tie the end, then just wrap around the wreath middle, keep it tight so that the branch wreath can't be seen through. We could have got away with 3 m of tinsel but 4 made it super fluffy.
Very basic and simple but it looks lovely!
And a quick update - this post was written in 2014, we are still using the same wreath, it'll be on the door in 2026!
