Making the frame and the base
Perhaps the most beautiful wreaths are made of natural materials - from fir branches, twigs of thuja, pine. But first you need to make a wire frame:
To better retain moisture for the branches, and they have long pleased the eyes with greens, you can wrap the frame with stripes of water-soaked foam rubber, fix it with a line, twine or wire.
Then cut the twigs into small "bouquets", fix it with wire.
These bouquets of greenery are tied to the frame.
And decorate a wreath of twigs to your taste.

Materials:
- wire;
- tinsel;
- newspaper;
- white toilet paper;
- thread;
- hot melt;
- piece of golden ribbon;

1. From the wire we make a circle with a diameter of about 24 cm.
2. We wind the wire with a bundle of paper, the beginning and the end are fixed with hot melt.

4. Over the newspapers, we roll up white toilet paper or paper towels to cover up the unsightliness.
5. Fix it with white thread.
6. Tie a loop of a golden ribbon.

Master class from the designer
A small New Year wreath with his own hands suggests we make designer Igor Linnik.
A ring cut from thick cardboard is used for the base.
It needs to be wrapped in wrapping paper, crumpled into a bundle.
Fix paper with threads.
After this, you can begin to gently tie the twigs with the same thread to the base.
When the whole wreath is filled with branches, it can be decorated and hung out on the door, where it will delight the eyes of all passers-by.
