Fur Wreath Arrangement, Advent Calendar, and Wreath
I created this fur wreath using decorations I already had in my Christmas box. Over the years, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of holiday décor, although it’s always carefully sorted. Well, sometimes you just have to make do with what you have…
This decoration is simple to put together, using items you likely already own. See the instructions below for how to make your own. After the holidays, the entire wreath or its individual components can easily be stored away for next year.
During the holidays a champagne cork or two is usually added.
What you need
1 wreath made of either twigs or floral moss, about 30cm in diameter
1 depending on the wreath size 12cm x 1.5m or longer synthetic fur ribbon. The ribbon is available either in a well-stocked fabric store or in a craft store. Alternatively, you can also use a luxurious satin ribbon.
about 12 smaller different pine cones
small Christmas balls: here there are 4 copper-colored and 5 blue balls
1 blue pillar candle
Pins
Wooden board or plate as drip protection
Create a wreath
Wrap the fur ribbon around the wreath and secure the end with pins.
Place the candle in the middle.
Add the pine cones and balls to taste.
You can also make the wreath for the office or home office. A decorated workplace is always something nice.
Here’s another bowl that comes together in no time. The fir branches are cuttings from the Christmas tree, and the small ornaments are from the same collection as the blue and copper ones.
It’s snowing. The coziest place is at home, watching the city transform into a winter wonderland.
A wreath makes a lovely pre-Christmas gift for someone who seems to have everything or whose taste is hard to satisfy.
Advent Calendar
Like previous years, we once again had an Advent calendar with activities to share.
The 2021 Advent calendar was crafted using a plotter. The envelopes are dark blue, while the cards are a rich dark beige that almost resembles gold. They were tied together with a delicate gold ribbon, creating a beautiful color contrast.
The folded cards with inserts are attached to a ribbon using small clothespins. For decoration, I added tiny golden baubles, pine branches, and glittering stars.

Finally, there’s an asymmetrically decorated Christmas wreath in a winter blue hue.

Thanks for this wonderful article. Yet another thing to mention is that nearly all digital cameras are available equipped with a zoom lens that allows more or less of that scene to get included simply by ‘zooming’ in and out. These types of changes in focus length will be reflected inside viewfinder and on big display screen right at the back of any camera.
