Diy Advent Wreath

To make a DIY Advent wreath, you will need:

• A straw ring or other circular base
• Evergreen branches (fresh or faux)
• Floral wire
• Wire cutters
• Four taper candles (three purple and one pink)
• Pinecones, berries, or other natural elements (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut the evergreen branches into small sprigs.
2. Use floral wire to attach the sprigs to the straw ring, starting at the bottom and working your way up.
3. Once the ring is covered in evergreen, tuck in any pinecones, berries, or other natural elements.
4. Place the four candles in the center of the wreath, spacing them evenly.
5. Tie a ribbon around the wreath to secure the candles.

Your DIY Advent wreath is now complete! To use it, light one candle each Sunday of the Advent season, starting with the purple candle on the first Sunday. On the fourth Sunday, light the pink candle. This tradition symbolizes the anticipation and joy of the Christmas season.
