Handmade Christmas Wreaths For Sale

By Stacey Burt


The holiday season is a time to celebrate. Handmade Christmas wreaths provide a beautiful way to decorate a front door and create a warm welcome for guests. They are also hung above the fireplace inside, adding to the festive spirit. When they are made by hand they are quite unique and there are many items to choose from to suit every possible taste.

When you decide on a wreath, it is important to bear the decor style of your home in mind. If you live in a country style home or cottage with vintage touches, a natural rustic looking woodland wreath with twigs and burlap will suit the style. A more sleek, modern door will look great adorned with stylish silver and white elements like silver balls and a white ribbon. A simple green boxwood wreath looks beautiful against a white door.

So many different materials are used for these creations today. Rich, velvety fabrics, ornaments, artificial flowers, bows, beads, twigs, candy and many more elements are combined in amazingly creative ways. Some are made from all natural materials such as leaves, twigs, berries, pine cones and dried flowers. Others combine natural and artificial materials carefully together and some are made with only artificial materials.

It is amazing what different effects can be achieved simply by using white, red and green. Silver and white are another favored combination at present. Gold is often added for some glitz. A simple white snowman as the centerpiece may be surrounded by evergreen and red berries. Pine cones lend themselves to being decorated with snow white tips or painted silver. Ribbons are tied into lovely bows of white or red as a finishing touch.

The whimsical at heart love traditional ornaments like a Santa Clause doll, an adorable elf or a reindeer as the center of a wreath. A nativity scene is another traditional choice. These figures are surrounded by festive themed decorations and lights may even be added.

A wreath hanging above the fireplace can help to transform the atmosphere of the room, particularly if it is made from natural materials and has an aroma of the forest about it. One with snow tipped pine cones, bright red berries and green leaves adds cheerful color to any room. Cinnamon sticks may also be added for the aroma.

The overall impression comes from the artful way in which the various elements are combined. Traditional elements are given a modern twist by painting them a different color, arranging them in unexpected ways or using contrasting sizes. Clusters of small silver cones combined with a large white bow is a modern and elegant combination.

When buying a wreath, its quality and durability have to be taken into account. The best ones are made to last and can be used year after year. Shopping online for such items gives exposure to a tremendous variety of styles and prices. As long as terms and conditions with regard to shipping and other factors are fully understood, shopping online provides a simple and effective way of purchasing decorations that help make the holiday season special.
