If you have been looking at all those lovely DIY Christmas wreaths on Pinterest, then you know the first thing you need to get started is a wreath form. What you probably don’t know is that a simple wreath form can be the end of your DIY dreams if you, like me, live in a place where it’s impossible to find ready-made wreath forms! But I’ve got good news. I’ve figured out a quick and super simple way to make your own wreath form. And what’s even better, is this project will hardly cost you anything.
Make Your Own Wreath Form
Step 1
Gather your materials for wreath form:
- PVC pipe
- Connector (I used a piece of wood to connect the pipe ends)
- Newspaper
- Burlap (or fabric if you prefer)
- Hot glue gun
Step 2
Take a length of rubber pipe; make a ring by inserting a single piece of connector into both ends of the pipe.
Step 4
Fold the sheet three more times. The idea here is to make long newspaper strips which we will use later to wrap around the pipe ring and give it some bulk. Make several newspaper strips in this manner. You should have enough strips to cover the ring twice.
Step 5
Once you have the strips ready, start winding it around the pipe and cover it completely.
Step 7
Cut strips of burlap and wind them around the ring covering the newspaper completely (Here’s a tutorial on how to cut burlap in a straight line.) Use hot glue to secure the ends.
Step 8
You can now decorate this wreath form in any way you like.
I used ribbons and some silver Christmas ornaments to decorate these DIY Christmas wreaths. And if you look closely, you’ll find a knitted snowman and crocheted amigurumi reindeer there, too. :D
