I have always loved creating my own wreaths to match my personal style. Don’t get me wrong, the ready-made wreaths are pretty too, but it just makes it a little more special when you craft your own. Especially when you can craft one without a glue gun! This project is super simple and only requires a couple of tools you most likely have on hand already. Be sure to also check-out the video to make this pine cone wreath.

Start by winding the boxwood garland around the wreath frame. One garland will cover half of the frame.

Wind the Burlap Ribbon around the wreath. Create the illusion of the ribbon going through the wreath by tucking the ribbon in between the garland as you go. Trim the length and tuck the ends in the frame. Or if you prefer, create a nice bow!

Next, tie each end of the garland to the wreath frame. Cut a 10-inch length of left over twine and tie a loop to the back of the wreath for hanging. Be sure to also check-out the video to make this pine cone wreath.
