Since Christmas is just around the corner, people decorate their homes during Advent to spread the spirit of the coming holidays. This is the time of love, conviviality and also beautiful decoration. You’ve probably already put an Advent wreath on the coffee table in the living room. But what do you say about other classic decoration ideas for Christmas? With that in mind, we think everyone needs a Christmas wreath in their home decoration. This festive hanging decoration is versatile and creates a good atmosphere anywhere. For example, you can decorate your front door with a colorful Christmas wreath and warmly welcome your guests to the holiday. At home you can hang the wreath on an empty wall or even on a window. The Christmas wreath would also look good on the balcony or terrace and tell all passers-by how much you appreciate the festival and the festive decorations.
A classic Christmas wreath expresses your anticipation of Christmas.
When should you hang the Christmas wreath and what symbolism does this hanging decoration have?
Everyone can find a few minutes or even an hour or two to decorate their home for Christmas. You start with the festive decorations at the end of November so that your own four walls are beautifully decorated before the first Advent. However, you have a lot of freedom here. You can display the hanging jewelry whenever you have time. If you want to enjoy your festive decorations for longer, then start today!
The Christmas wreath is not only a beautiful hanging decoration, it also has symbolic meaning.
The Christmas wreath has the classic round shape and this is due to the ancient tradition of decoration. The round shape symbolized the eternal cycle of nature. This meaning has been preserved and in accordance with it, people have been decorating with wreaths for various occasions for a long time. In many cultures it is believed that the wreath on the door is supposed to drive away evil spirits. But far from the symbolism of decorative wreaths, the Christmas wreath on the front door and the Advent wreath on the table in the living room have become absolute must-haves in pre-Christmas decorations. There is hardly anyone who wants to do without it.
With great attention to detail you can make your own Christmas wreath
A Christmas wreath made from natural materials is the perfect hanging decoration
All major stores and online currently offer beautifully designed Christmas wreaths in a variety of styles and designs. Of course, the classic Christmas wreath is made from evergreen (often artificial!) fir branches and decorated with shiny Christmas tree balls and red bows. Pine cones, acorns and mistletoe berries cannot be missing from the traditionally designed Christmas wreath. Very trendy at the moment are woven flowers such as amaryllis flowers in elegant white, delicate pink or bright red. These are always attractive and make the wreath even more beautiful. The white flowers of the Christmas rose would also be suitable as decoration, as would the evergreen leaves of the eucalyptus or holly.
Beautiful floral blossoms are just as popular in Christmas wreath design as the pine cones and acorns.
The simple is often the most beautiful!
You can dream up your own DIY project!
But if you don’t want to spend money on an artificial Christmas wreath, you can use your creativity and make one yourself from natural materials. The simple design also counts here and expresses your creative nature. However, you must be aware that such a Christmas wreath made from real natural materials will not last long. Shortly after Christmas you have to say goodbye to this jewelry.

This Christmas wreath even smells good!
You can make your homemade Christmas wreath out of pine branches and then decorate it with nuts, pine cones and acorns. If you want the hanging decorations to smell fragrant at Christmas, then you should decorate them with cinnamon sticks, orange slices and apples. Be careful with the berries though, as some are not edible! For example the mistletoe berries! The great thing about crafting with natural materials is that you decide for yourself what exactly you want to include in your Christmas decorations!
