Making a bottle brush tree wreath is super easy!

WHY I LOVE THIS PROJECT

Wreaths will probably forever be one of my favorite projects to make. The fact that you can use them throughout the year for any occasion makes them one of the easiest ways to decorate any space in your home.

When it comes to decorating for Christmas – and you want to keep a wreath hanging without being “festive,” this bottle brush tree wreath can come to the rescue. It still says all things “winter” without looking like the home that never takes their Christmas lights down (which I’m totally guilty of).

Expired Christmas lights to the side, this is a super easy wreath to make, and you don’t even have to be a knitter. Although I chose to use the chain stitch process, you can choose to braid, or just simply wrap the yarn around the bottom of the wreath.

SUPPLIES NEEDED

bottle brush trees
thick yarn
grapevine wreath form
hot glue
craft scissors

TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE A BOTTLE BRUSH TREE WREATH

Follow this quick video, or read the step-by-step directions below:

Pull out a really long piece of doubled-up yarn. (I personally did this process twice to get enough to cover the bottom half of my wreath form.)
Start on the folded yarn end and make a single slip knot (by folding the loop over the double-strand yarn) just enough to get the finger knitting started.
Begin finger knitting a chain stitch.
Using your first loop, you’ll start the process of continually pulling the doubled-up yarn through the loop over and over again.
Once you’ve gotten to the end of your chain, tie it off with a knot so it doesn’t come unraveled.
After making two of those, begin wrapping them around your wreath form.
Then, hot glue your bottle brushes directly onto the bottom of the wreath form however you like.

** TIP: To make a shorter tree, use craft scissors to trim the desired length off the bottom. Then you can glue it to the wreath form.

***NOTE: You may also add other winter-related trinkets, like mini reindeer.

OPTIONAL: Use the colored yarn of your choice. Consider going with a color (or two) that will match the theme of your home.

How easy was this project? I’m sure happy by how it turned out and I’d love to hear your thoughts as well.
