There are so many different ways to make a holiday wreath. I like the fact that making your own wreath makes it a one of a kind decoration. You can put anything you choose on the wreath and it is not only for hanging outdoors. I have a wreath hanging in just about every room in my house.

Here is what you will need to get started making a Santa Face Wreath:
- An artificial wreath ( I suppose you could use a real wreath too)
- A Santa face ornament (This time of year you can find them everywhere)
- Hot glue gun
- Floral wire
- Pinecones (optional) I have small pinecones on my picks
- Christmas picks (I chose berries and poinsettia picks)
- Red Ribbon (also optional, I didn’t have room for one)
Start out by arranging your wreath. Pull and shape the wreath until it looks full. You won’t be able to do any shaping once you add the ornaments and picks.
I have my Santa’s face in the middle at the top, but you can put it anywhere. Place the picks, arranging them randomly, around the wreath. Some of the ornaments may need to be glued and all of the picks and the pinecones will need to be fastened to the wreath with floral wire.
For an added touch, you can put a little bit of spray snow on the tips of the greenery. That will give it a rich look.
If you have two doors, for example doors leading to a deck, why not make another wreath and put Mrs. Santa’s face on that one. That is a real cute idea, a pair of wreaths.
Wreaths are another craft that are easy and inexpensive to make. You choose what to put on them and that makes your wreath unique. You can also use styrofoam wreaths for this project.
