The first advent of 2022 is almost upon us – the first candle can be lit on November 27. If you want to make an Advent wreath for this, then you are not dependent on green fir branches. Even everyday objects can be easily converted into Christmas candle holders.
How about, for example, an Advent wreath made of four old tins as a basic frame?
- Cut the floral foam into pieces and put it in the mold.
- Press the candles into the center of the floral foam.
- Drape some moss or artificial grass around the candles.
- Decorate with some pine cones and stars as desired.
Do you prefer something more exclusive? Then an Advent wreath in pots or tea glasses is (probably) suitable.
Fresh from the forest into your Christmas room. The basis for this Advent arrangement is a tree trunk, because you can decorate with natural materials and candles. Simply drill four holes in the block of wood.
Do you really want to go without cookies these years? Well, then you just make an Advent wreath from a cookie jar!
- Line the mold with a garbage bag and fill with sand.
- Cut the garbage bag under the edge and secure the edges with some tape.
- Fill the mold with foam filler on top of the sand.
- Press candles into the floral foam.
- Cover the mass of flowers with moss or artificial grass.
- Fill the gaps with small gifts or glass balls as you like.
Coherence is paramount here. Stand the pine cones upright and tie them together with a felt cord.
You only need four “ingredients” to make this driftwood Advent wreath.
- Place the driftwood on top of each other and glue them together well with the hot glue gun.
- Glue the candle holder to the wood with the hot glue gun.
- Last but not least, the 4 candles are added and the good piece is done!
This chic piece also proves that an Advent wreath doesn’t always have to be elaborate.
A last minute Advent wreath if you don’t have that much space in your apartment.
- Glue the mini balls together to form a square with hot glue.
- Remove the hangers on the four corner balls and place the candles with the holder inside.
- Cut the felt to size to use as a coaster.
A craft tip for all vintage fans. All you need is a small drawer, for example from an old chest of drawers or a bedside table, candles and some decorative material.
You only need four old glasses and you have a trendy advent calendar. Fill glasses with the desired decoration material and place candles on the glasses.
For probably the fastest and easiest Advent wreath ever! All you need are bags and tea lights in a glass. You can then label or print the bags.
Or even faster: In the basement your parents find Christmas decorations, buy matching candles and put everything together in a bowl.
