Earth Day Evergreen Wreath
Perfect for simple home decor!
Ingredients
- Soft, fresh evergreen branches or flexible vines
- Hot glue gun (with supervision)
- Clothespins, clamps, or chip clips
- Scissors or garden shears (optional, for trimming)
Instructions
- Start by collecting branches that are soft and flexible. Trim them into manageable lengths if needed. Remove any excess needles or small offshoots that might get in the way while shaping.
- Lay two branches end to end, overlapping them by about 2–3 inches. This overlap is what helps hold everything together and keeps the wreath sturdy.
- Add a small amount of hot glue where the branches overlap, then use a clamp or clothespin to hold them in place while the glue sets. This makes the process much easier (and faster) than trying to hold everything by hand.
- Continue adding branches one at a time, gently bending them into a circular shape as you go. Clip and glue each section before moving on to the next.
- Once your wreath is almost complete, connect the final branch back to the beginning. Adjust the shape as needed—it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- If you have extra branches, weave them into the wreath to fill in gaps or add texture. Let everything dry completely before handling.
