Holiday Wreath for the New Year

The winter holidays are the traditional season for hanging wreaths on your door. In honor of the Yule season, this wreath features holy shaped leaves in a metallic green paper that are reminiscent of the glossiness of the natural leaves.

Greening the Wreath

I decided to stay with traditional holiday colors of red, green and white. I chose a red back base to go with the red ribbons. White ribbon was used as a border for the inner and outer bases.

Preparing the Florals

I wasn’t initially sure what I wanted the wreath to look like. I reviewed alot of Pinterest ideas and really liked the leaf-based wreaths.  I didn’t really  have a way to mimic red berries, which were in alot of wreaths, so I opted for a small red rose instead.  The green paper I chose were mostly true greens only slightly deeper. I found a wonderful metalic green for the holly that could resemble the shininess of holly.

Putting it all Together

I have to say that I really love my paper punches for the leaves.  They add a crispness that looks divine.
