Easy Christmas Wreath with Beads and RibbonThis is a quick and easy Christmas wreath to make.  I wanted a simple, classic wreath that could be used year after year.
Supplies Needed:
  • Foam Wreath
  • Red Ribbon – used to wrap foam wreath
  • 4 Strands of Beads:  I used 2 different sizes
  • Floral Pins
  • 1.5 Inch Ribbon for Bow
  • Double-sided Tape
I started by wrapping the wreath with the ribbon and adhering it with the double-sided tape.
Then I started wrapping the beads around the wreath.  I wrapped three at a time:  one small, one large, and one small.  That covered about 2/3 of the wreath.  Then for the rest I took a small strand and cut it in half and repeated the small, large, small pattern.  It will vary depending on the size of the wreath you are using.  I attached the beads using the floral pins.  I left a 1.5 inch space where I wanted the bow to be placed so it would lay flat against the wreath.

I looped the ribbon around once behind the bow and tied a knot to I could hang the wreath on my door.  Then I attached the bow to the loop so the bow is actually attached to the loop not the wreath.

Now I just can’t decide if I want to keep it on my front door or hang it above my fireplace:)  I might have to make another one.

Let me know what you think.  Have you made a wreath lately?  I’d love to see it.  Leave a comment and link back to what you made.

  3. Newest follower here. This is a really great blog. Keep up the awesome job.

  4. I was just looking for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous
    Googleing, at last I got it in your website.

    I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this
    kind of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top sites are full of garbage.

  5. Love this wreath! Why did you use the thinner ribbon to cover the foam wreath instead of 2”?
    Thanks!
