Making a door wreath
A homemade wreath welcomes your guests and is often made from materials you can find in the forest. The same technique works for a Christmas wreath, an autumn heather wreath and a spring willow wreath.
You will need
- A wreath base, e.g. a straw, willow or metal ring
- Binding wire and pruning shears
- Conifer branches, moss, lingonberry sprigs or heather
- Decorations: cones, berries, ribbon
- A ribbon or hook for hanging
Steps
Gather materials with permission
Everyman's rights let you pick berries and flowers, but taking branches, moss and lichen requires the landowner's permission. Use your own garden, for example, or buy conifer branches from a shop.
