Holiday Wreath

HOW TO CREATE A TOTALLY RAD WREATH


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

*Bendable long branches (Dog Wood)
*Foliage (Pine, Cedar..etc.)
*Accents (Pine Cones, Berries, Dried Flowers)
*Branch cutters
*Floral twine
*Hot glue (optional)









     After selecting your materials you can begin to build your wreath by creating a base. Take two branches and bend them together, forming a circle. Use your floral twine to secure these together to ensure a strong base.





     Continue to build and wrap the branches around one another until you reach your desired size. Going in the same direction while wrapping will work best and look great. 





     Next add in your foliage continuing in the same direction around the wreath, build this up as much as you like. When your wreath is looking full and green it's time to add in your accents. Be mindful of where you place these so that you keep balance within the wreath. 




     Find a nice place to hang your wreath outdoors to keep it from drying out, this way it will last through your holiday season. 

Enjoy lovelies,

DIY Winter Crafting


RUSTIC CANDLE  HOLDERS FOR A COOL WINTER NIGHT



What you will need:

* Two square edged glasses
* Twigs
* Branch cutters
* Hot glue gun
* Burlap
* Candle/String of lights






     Cut the twigs to match the height of the glass, I cut mine a bit taller out of preference. Use one cut twig as a measuring tool to cut the rest. Keep in mind that you will be fitting the twigs side by side, stay away from to many extrusions on the sides or bends in the twig.



     Take a small strip of burlap to wrap around the glass as something to adhere the twigs to. Make sure to put a dab of glue between the burlap and the glass so it doesn't move around or slip off.



     Once you have your burlap in place you can begin to glue the twigs around the glass.



     Voila! Your masterpiece is complete. To light up these beauties you can use traditional tea candles or you can use a small string of lights (battery operated.)



Enjoy lovelies!
