Hey farm gals, it’s Kara from Lange Girl Farms! December’s snowy days inspire my pine wreath—naturally crafted from my homestead. My huskies chase fallen branches, my chickens peck at scraps, and my horses graze as I weave. This thrifty, sustainable DIY from 15 years of country crafting welcomes winter—let’s decorate your door, farm girl style!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pine branches, pinecones (pine trees).
- [Wire frame], [floral wire]
- [Pruning shears] for cutting.
Step 1: Gather Pine
Clip fresh branches—[pruning shears] make it clean. My ducks nibbled soggy ones; 15 years taught me dry picks.
Step 2: Build the Base
Attach branches to [wire frame]—[floral wire] secures. My first wreath was loose; years showed me tight wraps.
Step 3: Add Pinecones
Wire pinecones—[hot glue gun] holds extras. My minis sniffed the scent; 15 years balanced the look.
Step 4: Decorate Naturally
Berries, twigs—[twine] ties it. My husky pup stole a berry; 15 years perfected rustic charm.
Step 5: Hang and Enjoy
Loop twine, hang—[wreath hanger] works. My chickens cluck at it; it’s winter on my door.
