Throughout the year we decorate our home with a wide variety of wreaths on doors, tables and walls. With no beginning or end, the wreath symbolises the eternal and the never-ending cycle of nature. You can decorate and beautify it to match any season and it offers countless opportunities for decorating your home.
With just a few changes and some materials, you can create gorgeous, individual wreaths. Every wreath you create is an eye catching one-of-a-kind. Wreaths radiate a festive atmosphere throughout the entire home. Here we present to you five different ways you can very easily turn a plain wreath into a wonderful new decoration that matches the winter season.
Painted in a frosty blue tone and decorated with tea light glasses and candles, there's nothing else required for a beautiful table decoration. Glass marbles and a little artificial snow make it all look even frostier. Decorated with four candles, the wreath also works wonderfully as an advent wreath. Thus you can create just the right place to sit down with good friends for a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of cake.
If you like things romantic, you can decorate a modest wall mirror. Spray the wreath in white and beautify it with branches and decorative snowflakes. The wreath is then simply hung over the mirror. The result is an extravagant, wintery look. A hung wreath works especially well over a round table or in a cosy corner of the room. You can decorate the sprayed wreath to your individual tastes, for example, with branches, snowballs, icicles or pearls. There's no limit to your creativity here. Now attach your finished wreath to a hook on the ceiling using four pretty ribbons.
For a modern and minimal interior style, you can underscore the cool look excellently with white decorative items. It's terribly easy to make your own extravagant wreath out of shells. We show you how it's done step by step.
Get yourself a polystyrene wreath and a hot glue gun – you'll find both of these in any crafts shop.
If you still have any of the shells you gathered from your last beach holiday left over then these are a great reminder of that wonderful time. Otherwise you can find these in crafts or decorator's shops as well.
Use the glue gun to glue the shells onto the wreath as closely together as possible.
Once the wreath is completely covered, you can spray it in a wintery white.
