Deck the Halls with Artificial Christmas Wreaths and Garlands!
When it comes to the many ways that you can decorate with artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands, you are going to find that there are really a limitless number of ways. However, how about using poinsettias? After all, these are considered Christmas flower, and many people are going to be using these on their trees, so why not take this concept and put these into your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands as well? It could end up being absolutely beautiful and really help to bring all your decor together.
With this being said, while you could buy some fake poinsettia flowers that you attach to your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands, you may find that these fake flowers look too fake. Instead of taking this route, why not make your own poinsettia’s to place onto your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands? You will find that while it may take some time, the end result is going to be something that is gorgeous thanks to using the best of the best when it comes to materials.
Get Festive with Poinsettia-Infused Wreaths and Garlands!
To start this project for your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands, you will need:
Materials:
felt in color of choice- Think about the colors that you are using throughout your decor so that you can match
assorted small beads- you could even opt for some glitter if you would rather
For each poinsettia you will need to make:
12 large leaves out of felt
12 medium leaves out of felt
6 small leaves out of felt
1- 3 inch felt circle
hot glue
Ditch the Hassle: Why Artificial Wreaths and Garlands with Poinsettias are the Way to Go!
You are going to want to cut out 12 large leaves, 12 medium leaves, and then the 6 small leaves and the felt. This is all for just one poinsettia. From there, glue the medium leaves on top of the larger leaves, and repeat the process until you get to the felt circle. Set this aside, and then continue making your other flowers.
Once you have these all made, now is time to dress these up to hang onto your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands. Take whatever you are using, whether this is small jewels, glitter, or beads and start to hot glue these onto the petals. Many people decide to only put these shiny aspects towards the middle of the flower, other people tip the edge of the leaves…it is completely up to you and what you want the end result to look like.
Now, once the flowers have tried, it is time to attach these to your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands. You can easily glue a pipe cleaner onto the back of these flowers and then have this twist tie onto your garland or wreath. It is a simple way to keep the flowers there and allows you to reuse these again in another capacity later. Once you are done, take a step back and ensure that the flowers are evenly placed on your artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands for the best look!
