Evergreen Christmas wreaths are really easy to make, they make great gifts and look fantastic. I’m sharing step by step instructions on how to make a Holly and Ivy Christmas Wreath.
Making Your Own Handmade Christmas Wreaths
Making your own handmade Christmas Wreaths is a fun and relaxing (if addictive!!) hobby that will allow you to make truly personalised gifts for your family and friends. You don’t need any fancy equipment or materials to get started. Don’t get me wrong you’ll want ALL THE THINGS but you can start enjoying making your own wreaths without spending too much.
I love impressing my neighbours with unique handmade Christmas Wreaths that really make my front door stand out.
Crafting Supplies You’ll Need
You’ll also need to gather some Holly and Ivy. You can buy it from your local garden centre but the best way if to find a friendly neighbour who has a holly bush or some ivy that they will let you have. Ivy in particular is a horrible weed and most people will be glad to be rid of some of it.
You want get long lengths of ivy and pretty sprigs of holly.
Assembling Your Wreath
Weave lengths of ivy through the wires on the wreath frame. You might need to use a little wire to secure the start of each length.
Keep weaving in lengths of ivy until you can’t see the wreath frame. Pull the leaves to the front of the wreath and arrange them to your liking.
Then use the wire to attach little sprigs of holly. I like to spread them out evenly around the wreath. Be careful with the holly, it’ll prick your fingers.
And that’s it! See I told you it was easy.
I do hope that my Holly and Ivy Wreath has inspired you to have a go at making your own Christmas Wreaths.

A Little Bit About Me . . .
Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the interweb. I’m Bridie.
I’ve been crafting since I was toddling around craft shows while my mum sold knitting yarn. She used to buy me a new craft kit to keep me busy. When I grew up I set up my own online craft shop and loved every minute of it. There’s is nothing like the thrill of getting to be one of the first people to see new craft collections.
I sold my business to focus on raising my two children. They’re still young so for now I’m blogging my craft projects and sharing tutorials to inspire you. I love creating handmade cards with digital stamps. I scrapbook to preserve precious memories of my kids childhoods. I knit and sew to keep my kids in comfortable, unique clothes they love. I create batch cooked meals that give me more time to craft. And because I’m not currently earning I do all of this on a teeny tiny budget.
I’ll show you all the best ways to craft on a tight budget so you can still create a life you love.
I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
