Holiday winter wreath tutorial
There’s so much more to a holiday wreath design than simple red and green. Don’t get me wrong, the classics are classics for a reason. However, I like to design for all kinds of color schemes and design aesthetics.
Today’s design is a black and white winter wreath with greenery. The color palette is chic and gorgeous, standing out with five different kinds of greenery.

- Long needle pine

How to make a holiday winter wreath
1. Create the base with long-needle pine
Start with long-needle pine, taking a long piece and securing it around the top-left curve of your wreath. Secure the end in the grapevine with hot glue.
Then, take a second piece of pine and attach it along the bottom curve of the wreath so that the stems are almost touching.
Use florist wire to secure loose ends and perfect the shape. Then, use smaller clippings of pine to further frame the design, using steel picks as needed.
2. Add your bow
Next, use florist wire to attach your black and white bow where your pine stems meet, just slightly higher than the center.
I created a bow with seven 6” loops and 24” streamers.

3. Attach the winter sign
Use florist wire to attach your winter sign. Place it diagonal from your bow at the bottom right-hand corner of the wreath.
4. Fill in with greenery
Next, we’re going to fill in the greenery base for depth and texture. Add smaller clippings of glistening cypress, filling in holes throughout the long needle pine. Secure with hot glue, adding steel picks as needed.
Then, add shimmery eucalyptus throughout using the same concept.
5. Add frosty elements to your holiday winter wreath
For additional texture and to add to the wintery theme, layer with clippings of flocked cedar and flocked eucalyptus. Disperse evenly in any remaining holes, securing pieces with hot glue.
For the final frosty touch, include clippings of iced branches throughout your greenery. This will draw the eye, adding brightness to the design.
And with that, your holiday winter wreath is ready to enjoy!
