If you want to make a simple but playful Advent wreath yourself, you can try this idea. Small glass light holders made of glass, which are decorated with classic Christmas decorations made of needzes and berries, serve as candle holders. In combination with stand candles, these candle holders look very festive.

To do this, you can cut out four of the same size stars made of cardboard, or make it yourself made of white handicraft tone or salt dough. Then number with the numbers from one to four. Each asterisk should also have a small hole for tying.
Then thread the yarn through the holes and tie a knot. Tie the stars to the glass necks and hide the yarn using beautiful decorative bands. These can be in a classic Christmas color or have a popular Christmas motif.
Add small decorations from green branches and berries and tie a simple loop to keep the decoration on the square. Finally, fill the glasses up to half with decorative stones and put the candles in it. Make sure that the decoration does not extend to the flame.

Weck glasses are practical and at the same time very decorative. It is not for nothing that they are used in numerous craft projects. So if you want to make your Advent wreath yourself and you have already chosen glass, then mason jars are perfect for this.

Advent wreath of filled glasses
A homemade advent wreath does not necessarily have to be difficult to make. In filled glasses, for example, they stage the Advent candles nicely, without losing a lot of time and effort to do tinkering and decorating. We offer you two simple variants:
Fill the glasses with water
This ideasucceeds super fastAnd you don't need any special materials or tools. Four mason jars are simply necessary, which you first fill up with water up to half. Then add something green into the water - for example pine branches or rosemary branch. Since the combination of green and red is classic for Christmas, they also add a handful of red berries to the greenery. Then fill the glasses up to the edge with water and place a swimming candle in each glass. Complete! There is also a minimal fire risk for these advent candles.
Fill with artificial snow or decorative stones
Simple, but at the same time elegant - in this example, the mason jars are simply filled with artificial snow. The material holds the candles on the square and looks very nice at the same time. With a jute band around the glass neck, the Advent decoration gets a natural look.
Decorate mason jars for the Advent wreath
Instead of filling the glass, you can decorate it on the outside. In the following instructions, the mason jar for the Advent candle is embellished with the help of top tape and spray paint. Simply tie the tip around the glass, spray with color and remove the tip after the drying time. The result is a beautiful DIY lantern that is perfect for the Advent wreath made of glass.
Hanging Advent wreath Make yourself with glasses
Are you also a fan of hangedeko? This variant for the housing decoration is perfect for small apartments, where there is simply not enough space for opulent decoration. In this project, the advent candles are arranged in wake -up glasses and then hung up at eye level.
You need that:
- 4 alarm glasses, without a lid
- 4 tea lights (or stump ceremony for longer burning time)
- Baker's yarn
- Washi tape with Christmas motifs
- A metal ring
- Decorative stones
- One stick, about 50 cm long, painted white
In the first step, you design a kind of flower traffic light for the Advent candles. To do this, cut eight 70 cm long cords out of the baker's yarn. Tie all together with a large knot, about 10 centimeters. This knot is later on the bottom of the glass.
Then tie all two cords together in pairs - about 2 centimeters from the first knot. Now you should have four new knots. Then repeat the same again, with the new knots about 3 centimeters below the previous ones.
About 8 centimeters from the last knots, they now tie up four cords so that two new knots are created. In the end, make a knot out of all cords. Repeat the whole thing three more times to create a traffic light for each Advent candle.
In the next step, decorate the glasses for your Advent wreath. Fill every glass with a little decorative stone, decorate the tea lights as desired and put them in the glasses.
Now they come to assemble the Advent wreath. To do this, cut three long cords and tie them on the metal ring, as shown in the pictures. Then tie the ends of the cords to every end of a painted stick.
Now place the glasses in the prefabricated traffic lights and hang them on the stick. To hang up the Advent wreath, however, you need a suitable catch on the ceiling.
