Wreath decorations, most commonly made of evergreens, pine, holly or cedar, are a symbol for the strength of life, eternity and immortality. They are also commonly used as a symbol of remembrance of the dead, as noted for wreaths left at gravesites, or in cases of wreaths left to float on the sea or ocean. But wreaths are also used as festive crowns for special occasions such as weddings or festivals in the form of a headdress and can be created using either real, silk, fabric or paper flowers. Wreaths can also be either hung on a wall or door or used as a centerpiece on a table.

How to make various types of wreaths with (mostly) found items.
Wreath Materials from Mother Nature

Many materials for wreath-making are right in your own backyard or as near as your local supermarket.
Greens

You can use fresh pine branches or condition the branches in glycerin. Holly can also be used fresh or treated in glycerin and the berries sprayed with clear acrylic to preserve them.

How to Treat Evergreens in Glycerin

This method works best with greens gathered in early fall when the new-growth tips have stiffened. Best varieties to use are boxwood, hemlock, laurel, pine and spruce. Cut branches up to two feet long for conditioning. You can later cut them to shorter lengths for your wreaths.

Don’t wash the branches. Place one cup of glycerin and two cups boiling water into a tall narrow jar or vase. Cover and shake to mix or stir with a long wooden spoon.

Shake the branches out well and wipe the green parts with a cotton ball dipped in pure glycerin. Strip the needles or leaves and bark from the bottom four inches.

With a small sharp knife, cut a cross into the cut end and plunge into the glycerin mixture making sure to cover the exposed wood.
