Step-by-step instructions: Advent wreath making

Material

  • Fir branches
  • Spruce branches
  • Pine branches
  • Swiss stone pine branches
  • Straw strips (diameter 25 cm)
  • Wire
  • pruning shears

Step 1

Form small tufts from the coniferous greenery. Place these on the straw strip and wrap the ends of the twigs twice tightly with the wire.

Step 2

Take another needle green, form another tuft and wrap it around the straw hoop with wire.

Step 3

Repeat the whole process until the wreath is closed. You should wrap the straw strip as evenly as possible with the needle greenery.

Step 4

When the wreath is completely closed, cut the wire and twist it with the starting piece.

Step 5

It is then best to place the wreath on the floor. From above you can best see where the Advent wreath is perhaps not quite so even. You can trim the wreath a little more, cut off protruding branches with the pruning shears or add coniferous greenery where there are small holes.
