How To Make Different Ivy Wreaths?

I  love many different types of wreaths that I can make out of ivy. As far as for me, I love to make many different types of wreaths. I will need to have several different items to be able to make this ivy wreaths.

The items are spring, three long strands of ivy, five branches of twigs, five twiggy branches, three yards of rope, berried holly, and red and green ribbon.

I am going to use the freshest, most supple twigs, and branches to make my ivy wreath, because if the branches and twigs are not fresh, they will be very hard to bend them in a circle.


In step one, I will take each branch and I will twist the branches around each other to form a long, thick piece, and I will bind with string to keep it sturdy and in place. I will bend branches into a circle and I will bind lightly again. Continue on to form the wreath into shape,  and I will snip off all of the messy pieces to make the wreath look nice.

In step two, I will take my ivy and wind the ivy in and around my wreath. I will then put the string on my wreath, and I will cover the string with a gold rope around it, and I like to leave a decorative strand of the rope on my wreath. I use the gold rope on my wreath to give my ivy wreath a contemporary elegance.

I am making this one for a Christmas wreath. I like to add holly berries throughout my wreath and I will used red and green ribbon to make into a big bow that I put on the top of my ivy and holly berries wreath.

Sometimes I add different items to my wreath, it is always according to what season that I am working on, whether, it is autumn, summer, spring, and winter. Summer wreath, I will put flowers on them and the spring wreath. I add different flowers also. I also use different color of ribbons to make a bow for the top of each wreath. There are so many different types of wreaths that I can make for myself, or for gifts for family and friends. When I am making wreaths for the fall season, I like to add pumpkins, some fall leaves, and used a ribbon that has fall leaves on it, or pumpkins, and so much more. Now for winter, I like to make several wreaths that goes along the lines of winter season and then make some that pertains to Christmas. The winter ones I will put different ribbons, and many more items. For the Christmas seasons ones, I like to put presents, pinecone like I do on the winter ones, bells, red and green ribbon, Santa Claus, angels, and so much more.
