DIY CHRISTMAS ROSE WREATH

You’re probably thinking why share a wreath now?  I know, but I haven’t decorated our dining room at all, not one touch of Christmas in there.  So I decided to decorate the dining room table at least.  For a centerpiece I decided to make a wreath for a candle ring to place in the center of the table.

It’s time for our monthly Creative Craft blog hop.  If you are coming over from Kristin, White Arrows Home, welcome to Decorate and More with Tip!  Wasn’t Kristin’s banner so pretty?  This month we have 16 bloggers sharing some awesome crafts.  Are you ready to get your crafting skills on?  The craft blog hop is hosted by Chloe, Celebrate and Decorate and Andrea, Design Morsel.  At the bottom of my wreath’s tutorial I will share each participant’s link to their craft.

I just love the wreath I created for the creative craft hop.  Roses and hydrangeas together made a great combination for my Christmas wreath.  I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together.

Here are the items I used for my wreath.

  • 5 red roses
  • 5 small hydrangea blooms
  • 1 bundle of flocked leaves
  • 1 pick of green thistle stems
  • 3 different types of greenery picks
  • small pinecones
  • red berries
  • red jingle bells
  • ultra fine red glitter from Paradise Glitter
  • large Dollar Tree wicker wreath form

I pulled out all of my holiday tubs to gather my items for this wreath.  I had every holiday tub out rummaging through them.

  • roses were in my Valentine’s tub
  • hydrangeas were in my spring flower tub
  • all the greenery were in my Christmas tubs
  • wicker wreath form was in my Easter tub

To fill the wreath with greenery I first poked the flocked greenery stem into the wreath.

I added the thistle stems next in to the wreath the same way, sticking it into the wreath form.

Filling in all the gaps with evergreen twigs.  I hot glued them to the wreath.

Hanging the wreath on my wreath board so I can have a good view of the wreath while finishing the decorations.

To fill in the gaps with more greenery, the picks I used were an evergreen pick and cypress pick.  Removing it off the stem and gluing it on the wreath form.

Grabbing my roses to place on the wreath next.  I remove the roses from the stem and added them to my wreath.

That’s definitely not the look I want for my wreath.  I pulled the roses off the wreath and grabbed my red glitter to add to the tips of the petals.

I am using glitter from Paradise Glitter, in the color Cardinal.  If you are a craftaholic like I am you might be interested in taking a look at Paradise Glitter’s website here → PARADISE GLITTER.  They have all the variety of glitter you could imagine and so many colors to choose from.  I was amazed at all the different colors they have on their site.   The glitter I have is their ultrafine glitter. It’s like fairy dust, it gives your craft a more glitzy and elegant look.

I dipped my paint brush into modge podge tapped it on the tip of the petals, sprinkled the glitter on the whole rose, tapped the excess glitter off on a piece of paper.

Look at the difference between the two roses on the wreath.

After I applied the glitter on the roses I added the unused glitter back into the package.

I added all 5 roses back to the wreath.  The roses look richer with the glitter, don’t you agree?

I took Dollar Tree hydrangeas gluing them next to each rose.

I would of never thought to add the two flowers together, but they sure look pretty together.

Next, I added some berries to the wreath.  I had bits and pieces from left over projects, hot gluing them to the wreath in random places.

I had some pinecones left on the bundle, I cut the pinecones off the stem and hot glued them onto the wreath.

The last item I added to the wreath were Dollar Tree red jingle bells.  I hot glued them to the wreath as well.

What do you think?  Do you agree it’s the prettiest wreath I shared with you?

I think using the Paradise Glitter on the tips of the petals made the roses pop!!

Before making my wreath I made sure to choose the right colors to coordinate with my Christmas plates.

I placed the wreath in the center of the dining room table and placed my glass candle holder in the middle of the wreath.

The charger plates and jingle bells bring a metallic flare to the table, as well as the glitter on the roses.

Putting this table together on the fly turned out to be pretty cute.

A wreath can be used for other purposes than hanging on your front door.  I love using mine for candle rings as well.  Maybe I can revamp it a little and use it for Valentitne.

  1. Terrie, This is one of my favorites that you have made. I think the glitter added a touch of elegance.
    Just beautiful.

  2. This wreath is so pretty! I loved seeing the step by step! The glitter on the roses and adding the jingle bells was such a great idea! And I love the idea of using it on the table!

  3. Terrie, your wreath turned out so pretty for your table. I’ve never heard of a wreath board, but that is a great idea. The glitter on the roses looks very festive. I know you’ll enjoy the wreath centerpiece during the holidays.

  4. Terrie, your wreath is so pretty and festive! The glitter really put it over the top with the added sparkle. I need to get a wreath board, too. What a smart way to style a wreath! I love how you used it as centerpiece with the hurricane candle. It looks lovely on your holiday table with the cute BH&G plates. And what a bargain you got on them, too! Merry Christmas!

  5. Your rose wreath makes such a pretty centerpiece. It looks like something you’d pay a lot of money for, if you could even find it at all. Thanks for this great tutorial and for hopping with us today. Merry Christmas.

  6. Terrie, such a beautiful and festive candle ring! It goes great with the BH&G plates and your lovely table setting. I have a different top plate design and also love to use them for Christmas and woodland tablescapes. I especially like the variety of shades and textures you incorporated into the greenery of the wreath ring; like the thistle. And, what a good idea to add the little bit of glitter to the roses.

    1. Thank you Debbee. Can you believe I found those dishes 5 years ago after Christmas at Walmart for $1.98 a plate…I didn’t get a full set so I ordered the rest to complete the set. Cost me more for 1 plate than the 11 plates together, but so worth the little amount I paid for the set of 12. I saw where they have different salad plates. I love all of the prints.

  7. I love that you dusted the tips of the roses with glitter; great call! Would you believe I only just used glitter for the first time last week? After seeing your project, I’ll have to pull that glitter out more often! Your wreath is so pretty!

    Happy holidays Terrie!

    1. Thank you Sara! Glitter is a lot of mess but this feels and works like fairy dust. It was really easy to clean. I hope you share your glitter crafts with us. Love your work!

  8. Your wreath is beautiful, I was still creating, too, as you saw! the addition of the glitter on the roses made such a difference. I love the sparkle that added! Have a happy and safe Christmas!

    1. Thanks Cindy. It’s finally decorated and some Christmas cheer to the room. We will have our Christmas Eve dinner in the room so I wanted some touch of the holiday in the room. Happy Holiday!

  9. Terrie, your dining room wreath is beautiful. The combination of greens, and red with white flowers, plus the cute jingle bells make a grand statement.

    Thank you for the complete instructions, and the tip about the special glitter.

    I need to check that out.
    Merry Christmas!

    1. Rachelle, Thank you. I really love the color combo. I hope to change it up a little and use it for Valentine’s Day in our home. I think it will work just great.

      Being a crafter like myself I think you would love the glitter. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  10. I LOVE it Terrie! And using glitter for the rose petal tips really makes them festive and Christmasy! Using the wreath as a centerpiece with a hurricane candle is such a good idea too, your table looks holiday perfect! I hope you have a very Merry week!

    1. Thank you Jenna. Can you believe I didn’t have anything Christmas in the room. At least I have a Christmas table to place our family around come Christmas Eve. Wishing you the Merriest of Christmases.

    1. Thank you so much Gail. I love how the wreath turned out. I love using wreaths for other decorations too. Gives things a little more glam. Happy Holidays!
