You want to make a classic living advent wreath, but you don't want to pay a few hundred for it? Advent is almost here, so you have to make a decision. We have the cheapest solution for you – make it yourself. The corpus can be from last year and twigs are cut in the garden or in the forest.
You
*straw or polystyrene corpus
*green sing wire
*twigs of conifers and cypresses
*melting gun
*4 spikes per candle
*orange peel
*4 candles
*things to decorate
*melting gun

Cut the twigs to the same length. Gradually put them on the straw body. Mix different kinds and colors. In our case, it's a touje and a spruce of silver that looks good, unsaothable stings. The easiest way is to cut what you have in the garden. Attach the twigs to the corpus with the sattached wire. Tighten well to hold the wreath.

When you're done with the green wreath, decide if it's on the table or hanging. Then you need to make an eyelet and hang from a wire or string. When it's on the table, stick the spikes on the candles. This will create a space where you can put decorations.

Heat up your melting gun. First, glue the tied bows to the candles. Then give more according to how you like. In the first case, we made a wreath in silver-purple. Don't put too many colors together so it's not overpayed. And most importantly, think carefully about the colors that will match the tablecloth on the table.

Be the last to put candles. If you do not have a special one with a hole down, do not prick the cold spikes. Heat them, for example, in warm water, and then they will go to be tapped easily. Otherwise, you can easily destroy the candle.

Most conifers begin to fall over time, so it pays to put the wreath on some platter or large plate. This will make it easier to carry and, above all, clean up. In our case, the old chandelier lampshade has been serving well for several years.

o matter what fashion designers say. Anyway, the most popular color combination for Christmas is red with green. With smaller wreaths like ours, you don't have much room to decorate besides candles. Don't try to put too much on the wreath, or you won't even light candles. Something would catch on right away.

The corpus
For those less skilled or more lazy, we have a tip for a super fast and practical wreath. Modern and minimalist interiors do not fit the power of classically decorated Advent wreaths. But that doesn't mean you can't have it. When you choose a simple wiper wreath as your base, you can make do with a few balls in the color matching the rest of the device. You just glue them with a melting gun. And when it's after Christmas, you'll peel everything off and decorate it with only neutral natural history. There's going to be some cones and maybe some dried rosehip. With such decoration, you can last until spring.
