Did you know that a wreath goes back to ancient times and was a symbol of royalty? A wreath was called a diadem, a Greek word meaning “a thing bound around.” As other countries noticed the wreaths eventually “crowns” were created. The word crown derives from the Latin word corona, which means garland or wreath. Today, wreaths are used as holiday adornments or ornaments as attractive welcoming decorations for our front doors, even as center pieces. Feel as Royalty as you make your wreath and let it symbolize a crown as you display it in remembrance of the King who was born.
You will need: a sprig of berries, glittered leaves, ribbon or tulling, vintage pages, and a hot glue gun
Step 1: Remove each bud from the main stem
Step 2: Arrange the buds in a circle with the end under the top of the alternating piece
Step 3: Use hot glue to attach the end of one bud to the top of the other (Continue until all buds are attached)
Step 4: Add glittered leaves and tulling
Step 5: Tear a small banner of paper from an old book and add words that express yourself
Step 6: Add tulling or threading and string the wreath
Step 7: Enjoy your creation!
