DIY UPCYCLING ADVENT WREATH

Christmas time equals contemplation time and to this belongs the right decoration at home, which brings you only really in the Christmas mood. It does not have to glitter and sparkle because decorations made from natural and sustainable materials have their unique charm. Today, we're making an Advent wreath with you that doesn't require much.

Advent wreath DIY:

• A wreath made of straw or wood
• An old, worn-out cotton shirt in matching colors
• Some fir, eucalyptus and berry branches
• Pine cones etc. for decorating

MAKE YOUR SUSTAINABLE AND PLASTIC-FREE ADVENT WREATH

Step 1:

We took an old, worn-out cotton shirt for our wreath and cut it into many 4cm wide and about 10cm long strips.

You then knot these around your wreath, making it nice and "bushy." This does not have to be neat. The wilder, the more beautiful.

Step 2:

Now take some greenery, such as small fir branches, eucalyptus and berry branches. Just tuck these lightly under the fabric ribbons.

Step 3:

Now all you need is a few pine cones, some eucalyptus, dried orange slices, and pieces of wood around it et voilá: your sustainable and guaranteed plastic-free Christmas wreath is ready.

There will be the next post in a few days with a lot of added value and a surprise for you. Don't miss it!
