Whether lavish with pine branches, conifers, seasonal flowers and cinnamon sticks, or rather reserved and modern: at the beginning of November, most online shops, flower shops and even supermarkets keep a large selection ofChristmas arrangementsready. As beautiful as the variants in the trade are, a homemade advent wreath is something special. We give you some ideas on how to make an advent wreath elongated.
With apuristic advent wreathGet comfort home. So you can make an advent wreath on a plate yourself:
First arrange the four candles in a flat metal plate. White plates cut a particularly good figure. Inheritance from the grandparents or finds from the flea market add a vintage touch for decoration. Then drape the fir green around the candles. Other long -term variants are also suitable as a replacement for fir green. Run or fragrant eucalyptus bring a Mediterranean touch into your own four walls. Green juniper bushes create exciting contrasts to the white candles. Of course, you should match the remaining table decoration to the Advent wreath. Better decorate sparingly and do without shiny Christmas tree decorations. Instead, place on homemade Christmas decorations made of wool, felt or leather.
If you do the advent arrangement elongated, it will be much easier for you to replace individual branches later. Put the Advent wreath outside overnight, then the fir green lasts significantly longer.
Ideas for Advent wreath: Modern arrangements in the tree trunk
Instead of cypress or pine branches, you can embed the candles in a tree trunk between moss and ground cover. The natural Christmas decorations are puristic and cuts a good figure on the windowsill, on the coffee or dining table. So that you can style the look, you need the following materials:
- 4 white LED candles (about 25 cm high)
- a tree trunk, divided into two
- Grasses, ferns, Tillandsia and other plants of their choice
- Small pine cones and cinnamon sticks
How to make the Advent wreath: chop a tree trunk with a diameter of about 20 cm. Let the tree trunk rest overnight at room temperature. The next morning, drill four holes into the trunk and put the candles in. Be sure to use LED candles, otherwise there is a risk of fire! Nevertheless, never let the Advent wreath shine without supervision.

Crafts Advent wreath: Modern design without natural materials
Puristic perfection: This is how the next “Advent wreath” can be described. Four houses made of concrete (you can also pour the houses yourself) serve as candle holders for extra long white candles. If you don't like it so minimalist, you can paint the houses with acrylic paint or drape a garland made of paper snowflakes around it. Our tip: It looks particularly attractive if you don't pour the houses just as big. Different houses create an exciting ensemble.

There are no limits to your own imagination!
