How to make a simple straw wreath for Christmas. By Craft & Creativity.
DIY, travel, culinary, photography, fashion, digital art, sewing...all part of my goal to find my dream job.
DIY Chocolate Easter Egg Wreath. This could not go on the outside door at my house because the squirrels and chipmunks would find it and eat themselves to death and that would not be festive. Same with the roundup of Peep wreaths I posted here. But I still like them. From BeaG on Craftster here.
DIY Easter Chick Wreath. I have been waiting months to post this… seriously. I am not a huge wreath person and don’t post many, but I love the whimsy of this. You can buy fuzzy yellow chicks online in bulk. Tutorial from Design Editor here.

Mini Wreaths
Supplies:
spool wire
greens (we used boxwood, oregonia, rosemary, myrtle, seeded eucalyptus)
clippers
floral tape (optional)
Directions:
1. Make a small, round shape by twisting a couple pieces of wire together. Our wreaths are about 1” in diameter.
2. Clip pieces of greens, removing leaves from the bottom inch of the stem.
3. Twist the greens around the wire until it is covered.
4. Keep twisting small pieces of greens around the form, securing them under the other stems as you go. Secure with wire or floral tape if they need extra reinforcement.
5. Clip any stray stems that disfigure the shape of the wreath.
The Cards
Supplies:
twine
card stock
scissors
1. Cut a square of card stock (ours are 2” x 3”) and punch a small hole in the center, top of the card.
2. Stamp the card with a custom stamp like this or buy one readymade.
3. Attach a mini wreath by tying a piece of twine through the hole.
These little cards will be so cheery hanging in a cubicle, on a fridge, or inspiration board all season!
