How to make your own Christmas wreath?

All you need are two wire coat hangers to impress your friends and neighbors with your own hand-made Christmas wreath.

VisitAruba's Do It Yourself Christmas wreath is made of a metal base with all natural products around it. When completed, the wreath perfumes the air around it and will look beautiful.

It’s best to work on a table while you are preparing your wreath form. Later you can hang it up while adding the decorations and final touches. It is easier to see where you need to add leaves, flowers, ribbons etc., when you are face to face with your wreath.

The steps:

1. Make a base using two wire coat hangers. Wire the hangers together and cover with floral tape.
2. Cut several 8 to 10 inch long branches of greenery (doesn’t matter which, as long as it looks good)
3. Using lightweight floral wire, secure the branches to the wreath base. Overlap the stems. Keep adding stems until the wreath base is fully covered.
4. Secure decorations with floral wire or hot glue.
5. And your hand-made Christmas wreath is completed!
