When I think of winter scenes they always seem to involve greenery, snow, pinecones, leafless trees and of course reindeer!
To make a wreath like this, take a trip to the craft store and see what inspires you. I prefer to use real greenery that trimmed from the yard. In this post, I'll teach you the simple steps to make this fantastic bow too. Other ideas for a front door wreath include wiring on small feathered birds, tucking in a nest of moss or even adding some bottle brush trees. There are so many pretty possibilities. So let's get started!
To make this wreath, you will need:
- Twig wreath
- Fresh greenery
- Pinecones
- Hot glue gun
- Floral wire
- Ribbon
- Wooden snowflake ornaments
