Hello everyone! Last week I’ve shared you a video tutorial on how to make snowflake ornaments for Christmas, do you like that idea? Today I’m going to share you another tutorial on how to make a Christmas wreath, hope you guys like it.

Instructions on how to make the wire wrapped wreath:
Step 1: Make the basic pattern of the Christmas wreath.
1st, prepare 20cm black aluminum wire and 3m green cooper wire. Use the black aluminum wire as axis and wrap the green cooper wire onto it. Once finish, take the black wire away and thread 1m red cooper wire through the green wrapped pattern.
2nd, wrap the red and green cooper wire pattern onto the black aluminum wire axis as picture shows.
Step 2: Add beads to the wire wrapped wreath.
