Repurposed Christmas tree Part 3 - Wreath

This year my Christmas Tree started to collapse, despite my efforts I was not able to keep it together until Christmas day so I decided I would repurpose it. I have always thought a wreath on the door looks festive and welcoming and my old wreath was starting to look faded and old so I thought why not use some of the branches from the broken tree to make a new wreath. 

 

It was quite easy to do and turned out much better than expected. 

 

As it was a 6ft Tree make sure you check out the other parts.

Materials

Branches off old tree

Steps

Step 1

Layer small branches in a circular pattern overlapping each branch with the next until meeting at the other end.

Step 2

Twist leaves & tie twine around the branches to secure them together.

Fluff and style branches, hang on the door, decorate and enjoy.
