RUSTIC CHRISTMAS WREATH TRIO

December 2, 2015 by madincrafts 17 Comments

Rustic Christmas Wreaths

I have been adding a few more cozy and rustic elements to our Christmas decorations this year.  I always hang these three wreaths on our banister at Christmas time, but I wanted to give them a new look this year.  I rummaged around in my craft stash and found a few items that I thought would be pretty additions to these simple wreaths.

Rustic Wreaths

The burlap and raw wood have the rustic texture I was looking for, and the cinnamon sticks and faux berries bring in a natural element too.  Even though the burlap ribbon has a graphic print, I still this the bows have a timeless, classic style.

Because I have been in a gif-making frenzy lately, here’s a breakdown of how I made the bow embellishments.  First I made a fake bow using this technique from Made with Happy.  I adapted that technique slightly by flipping the hangy down bits of the bow so that the pattern would still show and by using floral wire to hold the bow together instead of twine.  Next I placed two cinnamon sticks  through the wire at the center of the bow.  Finally I used glue dots to secure the wooden snowflake to the center of the bow.

Berry Bow

The bows on the outer two wreaths are embellished with cinnamon sticks while the bow in the center has red berries in the center.

You are also getting a glimpse of our refinished steps in these pictures too.  It’s a process that started over a year ago, and which will be totally finished… eventually.

Wreaths on Banister

Even though these are pre-lit wreaths, I am choosing to not plug them in this year.  We don’t have any outlets in our entryway so I have to stretch an extension cord into the living room in order to reach the stairs.  I got sick of tripping over the cord each year, so this year these wreaths are staying dark.

    Your wreath trio is the perfect way to embellish your stairs. The bows that you crafted look great and I liked how your picture changed to show me exactly how you got the look.
