DIY Christmas Village Wreath

Enjoy making this fun and festive Christmas village wreath with wooden houses and bottle brush trees to adorn your front door or mantel.

I think Christmas villages are so quaint. A couple of years ago I made a Christmas Village for my mantel. This year it's a wreath.

You may have seen something similar on Martha Stewart or Anthropologie which has many mini houses and faux snow. However, this one has my own take that's a simpler yet still fun Christmas wreath.

How to Make a Christmas Village Wreath

Supplies

• Artificial Evergreen Wreath Base
• Wooden Houses
• Bottle Brush Trees
• Wooden Sticks/Diffuser Reeds or Skewers
• White Craft Paint
• Ribbon optional
• Floral Wire
• Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Scissors
• Paintbrush

Step 1. Start by white washing one side of the houses. You can do this by watering down white craft paint.

Note: You can leave them natural or stain/paint them any color.

Step 2. Once the houses have dried hot glue a reed or skewer on each side of the back of the houses with hot glue leaving about 1 inch below as shown in the image above.

Step 3. Organize the placement of the houses on the wreath.

Step 4. Wrap some of the wreath branches around the bottom of the reeds/skewers to hold them in place.

If desired you could also add a bit of hot glue to the backs of the houses to further secure them in place.

Step 5. Attach three large bottle brush trees behind the center houses at the bottom of the wreath. Use the wrapping of the branches at the bottom of the trees and hot glue if needed to secure them in place.

Step 6. Add more bottle brush trees at different places around the wreath. Again, attach them by wrapping the base or gluing them to the wreath.

Note: Lean the wreath against a box while you work to give you a better angle of what you are working on.

Hang this beauty on your front door or above your living room mantel.

You could also add a pretty bow on top. I think it's a really fun DIY and will be a great addition to my other Christmas decorations this year.
