How to Make a Frosted Pine Cone Wreath

Begin by taking a few moments bringing the wreath to life! Fluff-up each individual stem, to create volume.

Next, take each Christmas floral stem one at a time, and pull off all the separate elements. Set these aside and discard the original wire stem.

Taking all the green fir tree branches, carefully bend up the bottom wire creating a hook. Add these one by one at various intervals around the wreath. Fix each one into place by bending the hooked wire around the base of one of the wreath leaf stems.

Use plier cutters to snip off some of the longer wire stems of the snowy berry branches. Bend up the bottom wire creating a hook. Fix into place by bending the hook around the base of a wreath leaf stem, working them around the outer edge of the wreath in random places.

Turn the whole wreath upside-down.

Snip off the longer wire from the bare twig branches, using the pliers.

Bend the bottom wire into a hook. Insert these branches around the outer edge of the wreath, bending the wire around the base of a wreath leaf stem as before.

Allow the bare branches to peak out beyond the circumference of the wreath ring.

Find three white painted pinecones from the box of assorted Christmas ornaments, pair these with three of the smaller wired long pinecones. Untwist the wire stem on each long cone and use one of the wire tails to wind around the base of a white painted cone.

Find six smaller white painted long cones from the same box. Double these up with the remaining larger three wired long pinecones.

Untwist the wire stems and use both wire tails to wrap around each white long cone. Allow just enough wire to use to fix onto the wreath.

At regular intervals around the center area of the wreath, fix each cone cluster, alternating the two different cone sets.

Use the wire left on each set to wrap around the base of one of the wreath leaf stems. Allow the cones to rest at a slight angle following the slant of the wreath leaves, rather than sitting completely vertical.

Tip out the white painted twigs from the box, and group them in six bunches of three or four pieces. Use a hot melt glue gun to glue each bunch of twigs together at the base.

Slot one bunch of twigs just under each of the cone clusters, again following the direction of wreath leaves. Slant the twigs towards the outer edge of the wreath. Fix in place by using one of the wreath leaf stems to wind around the base of each twig bundle.

Lastly, use a hot melt glue gun to glue in place some additional cones.

Use some smaller long pinecones from the assorted box, plus some of the mini cones.

Create a more compact group of cones around the six cone clusters previously made.

The frosted pine cone wreath is then ready to be hung on your front door.
