Whether it’s a doorway accessory or a statement above the fireplace, a twinkling wreath is a must-have to get your home feeling festive, and what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by making your own?
Dobbies’ rustic Nordic Wonder wreath is the perfect decoration for those who want to bring a touch of nature into their interiors this year and is brought together with real and faux foliage for a showstopping effect.
Dobbies’ Stylist, Abbie McCann, gives us a step-by-step guide on how to create a rustic Nordic Wonder wreath, the ultimate accessory for the yuletide season.
What you will need:
To create your Nordic Wonder wreath, you will need a wired ring, floristry green wire, secateurs, real Conifer foliage to act as your base, faux foliage, and wired lights.
Creating your wreath
For your wreath base, start by creating several small bundles using your fresh Conifer foliage. Using wire, attach these to your wired ring, and keep repeating this process until you have an even base. If you would like to use faux stems, a great alternative is Dobbies’ Amber Foliage Garland which will give you a full base on which to build your wreath.
Once you have a base, it’s time to start adding in your faux stems. Using wire to attach these to your base, layer in your stems until you are happy with the overall shape and definition of your wreath. If you are looking to achieve a warm overall look, use a mixture of faux Eucalyptus stems and Earth Eucalyptus to bring in warmer tones.
Lastly, to create a Christmas glow, add wired lights to highlight all the gorgeous foliage, and let the gorgeous tones shine through.
