Wreath with christmas balls

Decorate and Light a Christmas Wreath Place the wreath on a non-slip surface and rotate it once in every direction. This will help you quickly determine which side should be the “front” later on.

Prepare the decorative twigs. Use side cutters to trim the decorative twigs to varying lengths. This is important so that the twigs don’t look like a solid “layer,” but instead sit naturally among the pine needles. Next, remove any wires or hanging tags from the christmas balls . This ensures the balls lie flat and can be glued into the wreath more securely and discreetly.

Attach twigs and “ christmas balls ” with hot glue Start with the small decorative twigs and place them first in areas that need a little more fullness. Apply a small dot of hot glue to the base of each twig’s stem and press the twig briefly into the “ fir, ” until the glue sets. Continue working your way around the wreath to ensure an even distribution. Next, place the christmas balls between the twigs. Hot glue holds especially well if you gently “embed” the balls between the needles instead of just placing them on top.

chain of light Incorporate the lights and secure the battery compartment Finally, loosely wrap the chain of light around the wreath. Make sure the lights don’t disappear completely into the greenery but peek out here and there. This creates the typical warm glow that makes a Christmas wreath so inviting. Secure the battery compartment to the back of the wreath with hot glue, preferably where the hanging ribbon will go later. This way, you can tie the ribbon around the wreath and battery compartment, and everything will hang securely and discreetly. Finally, check once more that the decorations are secure and turn on the chain of light so you can easily readjust the lights if needed.
