This handcrafted star wreath, with oranges glowing like tiny suns and roses whispering of past summers, feels like a piece of folklore brought to life.
The twine knots and natural textures tell their own story of connection and resilience.
It’s more than decoration, it’s a symbol you can hang in your home to remind you of both nature’s cycles and your own creativity.
Step 1: Lay out your five branches into a star shape, crossing them over each other at the points. Then adjust until the proportions look balanced.
Step 2: Use rope or twine to tie each intersecting point tightly, knotting securely. Wrap the twine several times for both stability and rustic style.
Step 3: Once the star is secured, trim any uneven ends of the branches for a clean look.
Step 4: Begin gluing dried orange slices around the star’s outer edges, spacing them evenly. You press and hold each slice until the glue sets.
Step 5: Fill in gaps with dried roses, herbs, or other florals. Arrange them in clusters to add natural variety and color.
Step 6: Add extra accents like small cinnamon sticks or star anise pods for a festive touch.
Step 7: Tie a loop of twine at the top point of the star for hanging.
Step 8: Hang it on your wall or front door and enjoy the rustic, symbolic beauty it brings to your home.
Tips:
For a sturdier frame, you can hot glue the sticks before tying them with twine. This ensures the wreath stays strong, even if displayed outdoors.
