Tinker hanging Advent wreath – materials

You need:

– evergreen branches

– Wreath blank made of wicker or metal

Make a hanging Advent wreath – step by step

First wrap the green ribbon criss-cross around the willow wreath. The fir branches are then tucked into the gaps. Then cut a piece of red velvet ribbon, make a loop in the middle and tie it to the wreath. The four red loops must be equidistant from each other so that the wreath hangs horizontally.

Bell as a candle holder

Then take the four metal bells and open them with pliers. Glue or tie the bells between the loops with floral wire.

Wrap ribbons around the wicker wreath

Now you can tie the approximately 12 centimeter long fir branches to the willow wreath. They should be facing down so you can see their green side and not the back when you look up. For a decorative effect, 4 spruce cones are also fixed on the top with floral wire.

Fasten the pine cones to the wreath

First find out how long you want the four hanging cords to be by measuring the distance to the ceiling with a tape measure.

Connect the cord and loop

Since the gold-colored cord is heavy, it was tied with copper wire to form a red velvet ribbon. The knot was then tucked under a decorative 7 centimeter wide ribbon.

Hide the knot with a decorative ribbon

After all four cords have been attached, the four candles are added. Try to make the candle holders as stable as possible.

Now the Advent wreath is hung on a ceiling hook. You now have easy access to the bottom of the wreath. Pin the other fir branches until the willow wreath is completely covered. You can add a few more berries and mistletoe and Christmas tree decorations for fun.
