Decorate your holiday table with these pretty miniature Christmas wreaths. They can be used as place cards thanks to the letter pendants attached to the wreath. It's also a great idea for a small, personalized guest gift at a lower cost. Indeed, this wreath is composed of two types of ropes: A braided rope of several colors with a golden thread, sold 1,6 euros the meter and of the rope for macramé. This pretty coloured rope exists in several colours. The macramé rope is sold in a very large roll of 600 m. You will have plenty left over for several macramé projects or to replace the ribbon on your Christmas gifts.
The rest of the material used here is red wooden beads, a small dried flower and letter pendants. You will also need a hot glue gun. It's a very useful tool in DIY and crafting, it will inevitably come in handy!
The technique used for the wreath is very simple. It's a very normal braid, only instead of braiding the strands separately, you braid them two by two. The red and gold rope adds a touch of colour. It also looks great in beige and gold.
Cut 6 pieces of wire of 50 cm. You need two red and four white. Line them up on your work surface and tape them down so they don't move.
Pass the two wires on the left over the two wires on the right.
Run the two rightmost wires over the red wires.
Repeat step 2: Pass the two wires on the left over the two wires on the right.
Repeat step 3: Pass the two rightmost wires over the center wires.
Continue repeating steps 2 and 3 until the wires are complete.
Form a circle with the braid using a template so that each wreath is the same size. This can be a circle cut out of paper, a ring, a jam lid, etc. Cut off the excess wire and glue the two ends together with hot glue.
Cut the flower and glue it on the junction of the two wires with hot glue. Glue small red wooden beads to hide the rest of the junction.
Attach the letter with an open ring that you will thread through two strings. Try to make all the crowns the same size using your template.
