Making a wreath is impossible without a base on which it will be attached. Therefore, first of all we choose her in order to form a New Year's wreath. Read on to find out which base to choose for your craft.
When the basis for the New Year's wreath has already been chosen, we begin to make the wreath itself. To do this, take one or two small branches of thuja or ephedra and tie them tightly to the base. We secure the thread so that it does not unwind. Next, we sequentially apply the following branches and secure them again. And so we move over the entire surface of the base until it is completely covered with branches and you get a wreath.
The size of the wreath directly depends on the size of the base. For a wreath made from natural branches of coniferous trees, choose a solid base, as the weight of the wreath is impressive.
Such wreaths made from natural materials can be decorated with cones and clusters of autumn berries: viburnum, black and red rowan. Of course, such a wreath will not last long: the berries will wither and wrinkle, and the needles will begin to fall off. Therefore, if you want your New Year's wreath to be more durable, replace natural ingredients to artificial ones.
Artificial elements often look no worse than natural ones.

Then they need to be painted with spray paint and the rest of the decor must also be attached with glue. You can make compositions in combination with spruce branches, with Christmas tree decorations, citrus fruits or limit yourself to only pine cones and paint.
