I love to get all cosy in winter and just sit on my sofa with a hot chocolate under a blanket and having pretty things around my house to looks at. I like to bring nature inside the house so I decided to make a lovely wreath from things that I had found in my garden. Here’s a lovely mini twig wreath I recently made. I was hoping to make a bigger one, but couldn’t find any really long twigs.
To make this you need:
- Bendy twigs
- a pine cone
- an acorn
- hot glue
- ribbon
First get a few of your twigs and bend them to make sort of a half circle. Then get one twig at a time and entwine then and wrap them around the half circle, keep placing each twig further along until you have made a full circle.
Hot glue a pinecone and acorn on and fasten a bit of ribbon to the top for hanging.
And there you go. Your very own winter twig wreath!
Top Tip: Start with the thicker twigs and wrap the smaller ones in last

This is actually a really good idea. I’d never thought of making my own before!
Every year I say to myself that I will attempt making a Christmas Wreath. Your description of how to do it is perfect so I shall print it out and have a go at making one. 🙂
Im making some wreaths for easter – thanls for the tips – my Christmas ones WERE so well received

That’s an awesome craft. Thank you for sharing this.
What a lovely craft idea. So easy I think even I could manage to make one!
When I went for my daily walk today, I noticed that a large Scots Pine that I pass has started shedding loads of pine cones. I picked a couple up, wondering if I could make something with them. This wreath looks simple enough that I could do it, so I will definitely have a go at it.
Thank you for sharing I will be having a go at making one
Will have a go at this as there is tons of pine trees near me x
We have just made one of these today with added leaves!
I need to start getting creative with what nature has given us instead of wasting paper. But first I do need to invest in a hot glue gun
I had never thought of trying this before!
Looks quick and easy and I like quick and easy 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up at #IMadeItMondayLinkParty 24. Pinned.

I love this idea, we used to have grapevines and made many a wreath. But now only twigs, I hope to give this a try.

My mom and I used to make wreaths for the holidays each year and it was also such a fun project! Lovely little wreath you’ve made for the fall season 😀
I absolutely share your love for cozy winter moments at home! Your mini twig wreath sounds like a wonderful DIY project, bringing a touch of nature and beauty to your space. The step-by-step instructions make it seem doable for anyone, and the tip about starting with thicker twigs is helpful. It’s a creative way to add a personal, seasonal touch to your decor. Thanks for sharing your idea, and I’m sure it’ll inspire others to get crafty this winter!
I adore all things DIY in decor. This twig wreath is super easy to make, and oh, it is such a great addition to the Fall decorum.
This is so simple but so pretty. You can then turn it easily into a Christmas wreath.
