So you’re ready to learn how to start making wreaths. But before you begin, you need to choose the right wreath base, and that decision can make all the difference in how easy or difficult your project will be.

1. Grapevine Wreath – The Best Base for Beginners

If you’re wondering how to start making wreaths, a grapevine wreath is one of the easiest bases to work with. Made from twisted, dried vines, this base is sturdy, natural-looking, and beginner-friendly because you can simply tuck floral stems and greenery into the vines—no special skills required!

🌿 Why It’s Great for Beginners:
The grapevines naturally hold greenery and florals in place so less glue is needed! The natural texture works well for all seasons and styles, from rustic to elegant. It’s sturdy enough to hold heavier decorations like metal signs and bows.

✅ Pro Tip: If a floral stem won’t stay in place, weave it between the vines for extra security before adding hot glue!

2. Wire Wreath Form – Best for Deco Mesh Wreaths

A wire wreath form is a metal frame designed for deco mesh, burlap, and fabric wreaths. It’s lightweight and allows for layering materials to create big, full designs.

🎀 Why You’ll Love It:
A wire wreath base is perfect for large, full wreaths with deco mesh or fabric. The open wire design lets you layer different materials for added dimension. They are available in different shapes, colors, and sizes for fun seasonal designs.

✅ Pro Tip: Attach pipe cleaners or zip ties to the wire frame before you start—this makes it easier to secure your materials evenly!

3. Evergreen Wreath – The Classic Holiday Base

Evergreen wreath bases are pre-made artificial wreaths that are commonly used for Christmas and holiday wreaths. The wired branches allow you to shape, fluff, and attach florals, ornaments, and bows with ease.

🎄 Why It’s a Great Choice:
Gives a full, lush look to holiday wreaths without needing extra greenery. The wired branches hold decorations in place—no glue needed! They can be used for different seasons by swapping out decorations.

✅ Pro Tip: Always fluff the branches before adding decorations—this makes the wreath look fuller and more professional!

4. Angel Vine Wreath – A Lightweight, Rustic Option

Angel vine wreaths are made from thin, twisted vines that create a loose, airy shape. These are great for rustic farmhouse wreaths, wildflower designs, and minimalist styles.

🌸 Why You’ll Love It:
Angel vine wreaths are lightweight and easy to hang. They are great for dried flowers and delicate embellishments. The texture adds a natural, organic feel to any design.

✅ Pro Tip: Because angel vine wreaths are very prickly – wear light weight gloves to protect your hands.
