Gold accents made easy: tinker fast DIY Advent wreath
If you still prefer the classic round form of the Advent wreath, but unfortunately cannot bind a wreath yourself, then you can use a simple trick. Buy a cheap, basic wreath, for example from pasture.

The hot glue gun can simply work wonders with such small craft projects!
From here it is very simple: first spray all the parts you want to have gold and let the color dry. For this step we recommend that you go outside. Then simply put the four candle holders into the wreath at the same distance from each other, stick the decoration in between and finally add the candles. That's it!
Unusual, child -light idea for the Advent wreath in gold
No expensive materials are required for this unusual wreath. Without tinkering and gluing, everything this DIY project requires are 5 minutes and a few decorative elements that you may already have in your Christmas box.
This modern Advent wreath in gold is elongated and is arranged in a basket. But you can also use a small box or something similar. You also need golden fabric. This can be a fabric napkin, a table runner or a scarf. The stump ceremics are first placed in the basket - one for every Advent. If you don't find candles with numbers, you can simply stick golden numbers stickers and paint the numbers. The golden fabric is then placed in the basket and put between the candles so that the bottom of the basket is no longer visible. The places between the candles can then be decorated with small decorative figures in gold and silver, such as balls, fir trees, angels, stars, etc. To make the Advent wreath glow, even if the candles do not burn, you can then wrap a thin chain of lights around the basket. Was it complicated? Not at all.
