Why Wreaths Endure as Holiday Icons
Frequently Asked Questions
At a minimum, you need a base such as a straw ring or wire frame, foliage to fill it out, and wire or pins to hold it together. Many people also add moss for extra texture and coverage. Our wreath making supplies cover all of this, so you are not left sourcing tools and materials from several places.
Yes. Wreath making is a craft most people pick up quickly with a bit of patience. Our supplies are chosen to give beginners everything they need to make their first wreath, from the base and foliage through to moss and fixings, so you can follow simple steps rather than work things out from scratch.

A 12 to 14-inch base usually works well for a standard front door, giving enough room for foliage and decoration without overwhelming the doorway. Smaller frames suit indoor displays or table settings, while larger ones make a bolder statement for bigger doors or gates.
Noble Fir is a popular choice thanks to its scent, sturdy needles, and good shape retention. It holds up well once attached to a base and pairs nicely with moss, pinecones, and other natural decorations. Mixing in a little extra texture, such as moss sprigs, helps fill any gaps.
Build small bundles of foliage, then secure each one to the base with florist wire, working in one direction so the bundles overlap and hide the stems underneath. Continue around the frame until it is fully covered, adding moss or extra sprigs to fill any thin patches.
A wire frame is lighter and works well for wired foliage bundles, giving a neater finish. A straw base is denser and easier to push pins or wired stems directly into, which suits beginners. Both hold moss and foliage well, so the choice often comes down to personal preference
Yes, we stock flat carpet moss and sphagnum moss for wreath making, both useful for adding texture, filling gaps, and building moss rings for wreaths. Our moss for Christmas wreaths is sold in generous bags, so you have enough to cover a full base without running short.
Keep your wreath somewhere cool and out of direct sun, mist it lightly every few days, and refresh any ribbon or dried decorations as needed. Most natural materials can be reused or composted afterwards, though foliage colour will naturally fade over time as it dries out.
Wreaths symbolise welcome and continuing life, which is why they have been used as a festive decoration for generations. Hanging one on your front door is a simple way to bring a bit of seasonal spirit and tradition into your home as soon as guests arrive.
Many people keep their wreath up until Twelfth Night or Epiphany, around 6 January, in keeping with tradition. There is no fixed rule, though, so feel free to take it down earlier or later, whenever it stops feeling festive or starts to look past its best.
