A complete wreath, from the green ring to the gold finish

See how the layers meet. Watch the maker hold the fir, pull the reel wire tight and place the next branch so the previous fixing disappears. The process continues all the way around the ring, including the final join that makes the circle feel continuous.

Fir branches and the natural wreath base prepared on the worktable — The base, fir and binding wire, ready to begin.

This project uses a 40 cm hay base and fir sold as nobilis. The maker cuts the branches from the back, selecting pieces that can overlap while their cut ends remain inside the work. You can see how the width and direction of those pieces establish the green surface before decoration is added.

See the binding and the final join

The maker laying fir over the ring and binding successive layers — Each new layer covers the wire holding the preceding branches.

Follow the repeated placing-and-binding movement, then the more careful last layers. The ending passes beneath the beginning instead of sitting on top as a visible seam. Turning the wreath over also shows why a neat back is part of a finished wall decoration, rather than an afterthought.

Make the decoration and its fixings work together

Pliers shaping a technical-wire fixing above the fir wreath — Prepare the wire fixings before placing the decoration among the fir.

The maker prepares technical-wire fixings for cones and baubles and pushes them into the wreath base beneath the branches. Nuts, cinnamon and banana-leaf pieces add smaller textures. The gold colour is concentrated within the same circular movement as the fir, so the decoration follows the form rather than breaking it apart.

Finish the back and inspect the whole piece

The back of the wreath and its wire hanging detail — Finish the fabric backing and add the wire hanging loop.

The video shows the dense back covering and the wire hanging detail. Watch where the fixing sits. Check the actual weight, base and wall attachment for your own wreath.
