DIY Christmas Wreath Making Basic Kit - 12" details

Product Description

The 12" DIY Basic Christmas Wreath Kit includes all the materials you will need to create a beautiful Christmas wreath, excluding any fresh foliage or decorations. This kit is perfect for you if you’re looking to gather winter foliage and decorations yourself. Whether you have access to fresh foliage in your garden, or you enjoy responsibly foraging, our basic wreath kit includes all the sundries you will need.

Simply add evergreen foliages such as Conifer, Spruce, Ivy, Pine and Holly and finish with decorations such as orange slices and cinnamon sticks.

This small but mighty kit is ideal if you’re looking to decorate a wreath for your own front door or if you’re wanting to purchase the basics for a wreath-making party or family get-together. It also makes the perfect gift for a festive rainy day activity.

The kit includes a 12” (30cm) wreath base, however the finished size of your wreath will likely be roughly 16” (40cm) in diameter once you have added all of your foliage. This depends on how flowing and natural the style of your wreath is.

This DIY Kit does not contain any fresh foliage materials, you will need to purchase or forage for these separately.

Wreath Hanging Instructions
  • Your fresh door wreath should be hung outdoors. Hanging your wreath indoors may lead to a shortened lifespan due to additional heat factors.
  • There are several ways you can hang your wreath, depending on what you have available. You can hang your wreath from a door knocker or nail using the ribbon / string loop on the top of your wreath. You can also use an over-the-door wreath hanger which are commonly available,  or a Command Wreath Hook.
Caring For Your Fresh Wreath
  • Protect your wreath from extreme seasonal weather such as heavy rainfall, snow, high winds and high temperatures.
  • Your wreath comes with a protective wrap backing to protect the paintwork on your door, however we recommend you take your wreath down temporarily in windy conditions to remove the risk of damage to your door.
  • Spray your wreath using a water spray bottle every few days, or as often as needed to keep the base damp-to-touch.
Safety Precautions

Not suitable for human or animal consumption.

Some flowers, foliages and berries are toxic to both pets and people, so please keep them out of reach of children and animals.

Please note that any fruits, seeds or decorations that are provided as part of the Christmas Wreath DIY kits are not for human consumption.

If your door has a porous paint finish, take precautions to protect the paintwork on your door by adding the plastic wreath wrap provided to the back of your wreath. This helps to protect your door from the moisture in the moss.

We recommend removing the wreath from your door during heavy rainfall or high winds.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is the best way to care for my fresh Christmas Wreath?

When you hang your fresh Christmas wreath, you should protect it from any extreme seasonal weather such as heavy snow, rainfall or high winds. To keep your wreath fresh, spray your wreath and the moss base using a water spray bottle every few days, or as often as needed to keep the base damp-to-touch. Be mindful that fruit slices such as apple and orange slices can go slightly soft or soggy if exposed to too much moisture, so be sure to move your wreath to a sheltered location if you are expecting rainfall. You should always keep your Christmas wreath hanging outside where possible as exposure to indoor heating will shorten the life of your wreath.

How do I attach an apple, orange or lemon slice to my Christmas Wreath?

You can attach an apple, lemon or orange slice to your Christmas wreath by wiring them onto the moss base using a stub wire.

Push the stub wire through your fruit slice, (close to the rind of the orange/skin of the apple) until you have an equal length of the wire on each side of the fruit. Then, bring the two ends of the wire together and twist them together to create a ‘double leg mount’. Next, position your fruit slice where you would like it to go on your wreath. Then push the wire ends through your moss base until they come out of the back of your wreath. Then simply fold back the wires and push the ends back into the moss so that the wires are not sticking out.

How do I attach whole limes and oranges to my Christmas Wreath?

You can attach a whole lime or whole orange to your Christmas wreath by wiring them onto a moss base using a stub wire.

Insert the stub wire into one of the splits in the fruit and patiently guide it through the fruit until it pokes out of a split on the other side. Once your wire has been pushed through, bring the two ends of the wire together and twist the two wire legs together. Next, position your orange or lime where you would like it to go on your wreath. Then push the wire ends through your moss base until they come out of the back of your wreath. Then simply fold back the wires and push the ends back into the moss so that the wires are not sticking out.
