If you are like me, you look forward to making a warm and welcoming home for your visitors this Christmas. The first thing that your Christmas visitors see is the wreath that you hang on your front door!
I personally love to make Christmas decorations in December, especially ones using living materials such as leaves and branches as well as wreaths made from recycled and repurposed materials.
Decorating your home with the branches and leaves of evergreen plants and pine cones is a tradition that dates back to ancient times, when it formed part of the celebrations of the winter solstice. In the darkest, coldest time of the year, our ancestors warded off the dull grey days with feasting, music and drinking!
So here are 25 wreaths that you can make as part of your decoration for the holidays. Of course, you can hang them indoors or outdoors.
As well as wreaths made from natural materials such as branches, leaves, berries, pine cones and dried fruit, some of the other ones that I have chosen are be made from fabric - you can use up scraps of material that you have around the house or recycle old clothes and linens.
Others use old retro Christmas decorations - if you have a glut of baubles these wreaths are a really good way of using them to make a unique and personal handmade wreath for your home.
Finally you can bedeck your wreath with festive ribbons and bows for that finishing touch!
