I love this wreath because it’s minimal and doesn’t take up too much space.\u00a0 It’s elegant and it can be altered to your personal style.\u00a0 Air Plants (Tillandsia) are gorgeous and depending on where you go, you can find a variety of shapes and colors.\u00a0 After your filler has died you can carefully take the wreath apart and keep your Air Plants.\u00a0 BONUS!\u00a0 Here is a great blog post from House Plant Journal to help you care for your Air Plants.\u00a0 Tillandsia Parenting 101<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gold Metal Macrame Ring (I used this one<\/a>, it’s 5″)<\/li>\n
  2. Air Plants (I used 4 total in this wreath)<\/li>\n
  3. Filler greens (I used noble fir from our Christmas tree but you could use boxwood or anything)<\/li>\n
  4. Jewelry Wire (I used one similar to this<\/a>, do not use copper)<\/li>\n
  5. Scissors and\/or wire cutters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Be sure to prepare your Air Plants by spritzing them with water the night before.\u00a0 You may not need to but you want to make sure they’re not dry.\u00a0 You need to work with well cared for Air Plants so you can maneuver the wire around them AND keep them afterwards.<\/p>\n

    Start by cutting your filler green into small 3″-5″ pieces.\u00a0 Arrange the greens how you like them on the hoop and secure to the hoop with wire.\u00a0 Twisting around the greenery and hoop until it stays in place.<\/p>\n

    \"This<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Place your Air Plants on top of your filler greens to see where they look best and then start connecting them layer by layer.\u00a0 Take a piece of your wire and very carefully weave the wire in and out of the leaves of the Air Plant.\u00a0 Don’t wrap them too tight, its not necessary.\u00a0 Then tie it around your hoop on top of the filler green.<\/p>\n

    \"This<\/p>\n

    \"This<\/p>\n

    Continue adding Air Plants to your liking until your wreath is complete.\u00a0 I used 4 Air Plants in all.\u00a0 If you’re doing a large wreath, you could use 10 or more!\u00a0 Be careful with the Air Plants!\u00a0 You want to be able to preserve them to keep them after you’re done displaying the wreath.<\/p>\n

    \"This<\/p>\n

    In order to keep the Air Plants alive, be sure to give them a good spray once per week (or so depending on your environment).\u00a0 Visit the link I mentioned earlier about how to care for Air Plants and you’ll get some great tips there!<\/p>\n

    I hope you enjoyed this little DIY and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!<\/p>\n
