Making a Christmas wreath out of fabric braids
Before you start making something, let’s make sure you have everything you need. These things are what you’ll need:
Strips of fabric (different colors)
Base or frame for a wreath
Pair of scissors
Sticks of glue and a glue gun
Ribbon ornaments and other decorations
Hanger for wreath
Picking Out the Right Fabrics
Choosing the right fabrics is important for making a beautiful fabric braid wreath.
To make your wreath more interesting to look at, choose a range of colors and textures. Velvet, satin, and cotton are all great choices.
Getting the fabric strips ready
Cut the materials you’ve chosen into strips that are all the same width. How full your wreath is will depend on how long the strips are. Aim for strips that are 12 to 15 inches long, but you can try different lengths to get a different look.
How to Make the Fabric Braid
Let’s think of something new! Braid together three strips of fabric that are not the same color. This is what your wreath will be built on. Keep winding until your length is long enough to go around the base of your wreath.
Making the base of the wreath
A wire coat hanger can be used to make a flower frame if you don’t have one. With pliers, you can join the ends of the hanger together to make a circle. You could also buy a wreath base made of foam or wire at a craft shop.
Putting the fabric braid on
Use a small amount of hot glue to attach the beginning of your cloth braid to the base of the wreath. Wrap the braid around the base and use glue to hold it in place every so often. Make sure the braid lies flat and evenly as you go until the whole base is covered.
Adding Holiday Decorations
Let’s add something extra to your wreath now. You could add small fairy lights, ornaments, pinecones, or fake berries. For an extra touch of holiday magic, glue these things to your wreath.
Putting Your Fabric Braid Wreath Up: To hang your wreath, put a festive bow on top of it. Make sure it’s attached firmly. Now your wreath is ready to hang on your door or somewhere else inside.
How to Do Maintenance
Remember to keep your fabric braid wreath in a cool, dry place when not in use so it looks great all season.
You shouldn’t put it in bright sunlight because it will fade the fabric.
Different creative ideas
You can make wreaths that fit your own style by trying out different braid designs, fabric textures, and decorations. Because this skill is all about being creative, use your mind freely.
Finally, making a Christmas wreath out of cloth braid is a fun way to make your holiday decorations more unique.
You can make a wreath that really captures the magic of Christmas with a little imagination and holiday spirit. So get your materials together, let your creativity run wild, and start making things!
