So much of what we buy for Christmas is made to replicate nature. Plastic berries, silk leaves, synthetic trees - most will eventually end up in landfills when we're done with them! So why not embrace this Christmas season with a cozy and earthy DIY wreath! One with a natural and rustic look - filled with gathered pinecones, berries and evergreens! It's basically a free craft for the most part. All biodegradable and easily recyclable! Here's how to make one!
- Tree or shrub vines
- Cotton thread (thick #10 or #12)
- Slim pinecones (white pine tree)
- White pine evergreens
- Scissors/pruning shears
- Wired Christmas ribbon
then the other side, forming a symmetrical shape of pinecones on the hoop.
Continue tying on the pinecones to each side until . . .
the pinecones look full, balanced and decorative.
Then begin adding pine evergreens clipped from a nearby white pine tree.

Oh my word Gail, your wreath is just beautiful! How wonderful that you could create that just from things collected locally (apart from the bow of course!) I love the fact you tied everything together with that dark cotton so they whole thing can just be composted once you are finished with it if you want to.
ReplyDeleteGail, your nature-inspired wreath is lovely. I love how you added the pinecones and the pine evergreen. It came together beautifully. Thank you for sharing.🥰

I absolutely love using nature to decorate with. This diy Christmas wreath is absolutely beautiful! I love how you used wood vines as the base of your wreath! Truly stunning!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely beautiful and I love how you have used the vines from your garden! It just looks so delicate and pretty!
ReplyDeleteGail, your diy Christmas wreath is so pretty. Love how you gathered the vines to form a wreath. The pine ones are so pretty with the greens. Natural elements are the perfect addition. A lovely wreath for Christmas 🎄.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is so cute and perfect for the Christmas season! I love wreaths with pinecones and greenery. I like that your pinecones are long and slim. I always find small pinecones when I go pinecone hunting. 😁 I definitely need a new Christmas wreath, so I'm pinning this one for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Gail! Bonus, I have all these things around my yard. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteGail, you are the crafting queen. You made such a pretty wreath for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds! I love your wreath and am going to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice you can walk out your door and instantly have so much nature that you can make a pretty wreath like yours. I like that elongated shape of the pine cones. I only have rounds ones which wouldn't be near as pretty as yours turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing valuable content with us I really appreciate you
