Shaping Artificial Christmas Wreaths and Pre-lit Christmas Wreaths: When you get your artificial wreath it will be all crunched up. Lay it with the metal frame on the floor. Use your four fingers like a comb and gently comb through the tips, this will fluff it out a bit. Then you can shape some of the tips by simply placing your index finger on the end of the tip closest to the center of the wreath. Gently push down once with your finger tip, then move your finger back a little and continue until you have given the entire tip a gentle bend. Repeat this with as many of the wreath tips as you like. Just remember, it would not be natural for a live wreath to have too many straight branches.

Lighting and Decorating An Artificial Wreath: To start adding your lights, attach your light cord to the back of the wreath, on the metal frame. Pull the lights up through the wreath from the back. Zigzag your way across the wreath while wrapping lights onto some of the tips. Select this link to view our Indoor Christmas Light. Wrap some lights closer to the end of the tip and some a little farther down. Keep going all the way around the wreath. The idea is to conceal as much of the cord as possible with the remaining unlit tips. Some things to avoid are, having too many lights next to each other and going in a straight line. You want the lights to be in more of a random order. You can use twinkle, C-7 or colored lights to give a more decorative look. Select this link to view our Christmas Outdoor Lights. For your convenience we have several types of Extension Cords, Remote Controls, Power Strips and Power Protection Supplies available for safely connecting the electrical power for your wreath.

Another idea for decorating Christmas wreaths is to add woody type Christmas picks with berries, flowers or fruit. Even adding Christmas balls or other theme related ornaments, ribbons or bows add color and dimension to your decorated Christmas wreaths. Select this link to view our nutcracker ornaments.

Wreath history: In America we recognize the evergreen wreath as a symbol of Christmas. We hang them on our front doors and display them in other parts of our homes, though no on seems to know the history of this custom. The abundance of live plants and greens was a natural source of supplies. Many ancient cultures have revered plants and especially evergreens. They have long been a symbol of divine energy. At some point in time, the wreath became a door and wall ornament. The materials chosen for the wreath said a lot about what the wreath meant. A wreath made of holly and mistletoe might be used to shelter a home from the spirits of cold and winter. Even though the word wreath, is usually associated with Christmas, they are a form of decoration found in households all year. Some are used as a reflection of personal tastes or collections and some are reminders of special occasions. The vast resources we have today for dried herbs and flowers, as well as the fabulous assortment of artificial flowers and plants have given us limitless choices for materials. Today beautifully decorated wreaths are an integral part of Christmas holidays, as well as being decorated to fit every other season. The lovliest use of this symbol is the advent wreath. Although its true origin is not known. Some believe it was inspired by the Swedish Crown of lights, a candle bearing crown worn by young Swedish girls on St. Lucias Day. St. Lucia was a young Christian martyr who gave her entire dowry to the poor.
