Wreaths are set to be back and bigger than ever for Christmas 2021, with many using wreaths to decorate their front doors for the entire winter season, not just for Christmas. While traditional wreaths tend to be colour and decoration adorned, for those looking for a more natural and pared back look, Dobbies eco-wreath fits the bill.
Bringing the outdoors in, quite literally, this wild and wonderful wreath adds natural flair to Christmas décor this season. With no metal or plastic required, flora and fauna can be foraged from the garden, including earthy greens like Conifers and Pine, while dried summer flowers are perfect for adding pops of organic colour.
Dobbies Lead Stylist, Rebecca Stanton, commented: “We know our customers love being outdoors and, in their gardens, so creating your own eco wreath is perfect for our green fingered friends. Rustic wreaths can be hung on front doors or indoors and add a modern, fuss-free festive feel, perfect for complementing a whole range of interior styles from country cottage to minimalist Scandi looks.”
Rebecca explains how to create your eco wreath.
What you need:
Step 1: Get the look by gathering twigs together and moulding into a rough hoop shape. Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be perfect as each wreath should be unique. Secure as you go with the twine.
Step 2: Time to get creative by using the greenery to make little individual posies and secure with twine. This is where you can inject pops of colour with flowers – fresh or dried.
Step 3: Next, place each posey on the hoop, securing each one with twine. Layer the next one on top of the last, to hide where you have tied.
Step 4: Once you have taken the posies as far round as you would like, stop. It’s nice to leave some of the hoop exposed for a rustic feel.
Step 5: Hang your wild eco wreath and prepare for compliments as you wow your festive guests.
