How to Make a Snowflake Wreath!

How to Make a Snowflake Wreath

I began with an eight inch styrofoam round and six identical branches all purchased at Michael’s.  To secure the branches into the foam well, I used my Steelpix machine.  This added a steel pick with barbs on it to each branch to make sure it holds securely in the foam.  In lieu of a Steelpix machine, you can use wood wired sticks. 

 

These were the stems I used for my six points of the snowflake.  I bought four extra ones and cut them apart to fill in the additional space in the middle of the wreath.  Cut the pieces off of each branch with wire cutters into small pieces.  Add a steel pick or a wood wired stick to each of the smaller pieces.Simply fill in the space in the center with the greens you cut from the extra branches.  You can leave a little space for pine cones and berries. 

Unable to find the white branches I was looking for, I picked up some of these snowy picks to use. 

Two of the pieces of snow branches were added to each point of the snowflake. 

These branches along with the icy greenery give a feeling of snow to the wreath.

Finish off the center of the snowflake with pinecones and berries. 

This is the mechanics for how I made my hanger for my wreath, for more details on how I make these, you can check out detailed instructions and photos, check out this post:  Catalog Knock Off Door Swag.  

Here is my finished snowflake wreath on my daughter’s front door!  Ready to greet holiday guests!

Another version of the wreath I made displayed on my blue front door.  Just a little difference in the branches and berries.  I used the same greenery for this one.

  1. This is such a unique shape. I was quite hesitant in the beginning. I could not visualize where you were going. But, I’m thrilled with the outcome. And because here in Portland, Oregon I have almost all parts blowing around my yard, I’ll try first with the real things. I’m excited to try your idea. Thank you, Chloe!!

    1. I was going to try to do this wreath with the extra branches from my silver tip tree and real pine cones.. I might need a bigger styrofoam to hold it, how did your turn out?

  2. Do you think I could make this with the leftover branches from the silver tip tree we just got, it is a live tree. I was thinking I might need a bigger styrofoam round.. I was going to use red berries from a neighbors plant and a couple pine cones from my daughters yard..
