How to make Christmas wreaths with what you have at home

The garland is the decoration that most of all makes the Christmas house: it welcomes guests at the entrance, right on the door, and immediately exclaims: ” Christmas !”. And it does not need to be made with real branches and cuttings of pines and firs (especially if we want to be green , avoiding having to throw away the material, not being able to plant it at the end of the holidays as can happen with Christmas trees). Also the garlands obtained from creative recycling are widespread.

Even in this case, do-it-yourself can come in handy : with what you have at home it is possible to create very pretty, simple but effective Christmas wreaths , to immerse your home in the Christmas atmosphere even before crossing the threshold. . They are easy to make , no special materials are needed (other than common tools that are usually found in all homes) and can be assembled in a short time (even with the help of your children).
