Frosted Christmas Wreaths Tutorial
One side of the hallway says NOEL. And the other says JOY.
You will need:
- Letters (here N,O,E, L – but it would work with JOY or any other combination). I found these at Michael’s.
- Green Wreaths – One for each letter.
- Pinecones – Four for each wreath.
- Epsom salt and glitter for the frosting process.
- Fake red berries.
- A strip of burlap.
- Glue gun.
- White glue.
- Green wire.
- Sanding paper.
Refer to this tutorial to frost the pinecones.
Then spread white glue to some of the wreath branches and add the Epsom salt/glitter mixture to frost.
Hot glue the green wire to the ends of the pinecones
and attach them to the wreath.
Sand the edges and some of the middle of the letters to antique them a bit.
Spread white glue over the top and sprinkle the frosting mixture.
Hot glue the letters to the wreath by bending some branches to hold the letter in place.
Hot glue some red berries to the bottom and add the burlap strip to the top.
Et voila!
Where to Hang Your Noel Wreath Letters
This is where people start imagining it in their home (which = clicks + saves):
- Above your mantle
- In a long hallway
- On a blank wall that needs something festive
- Across a window or entryway
- On a front door (secured well)
- As a backdrop for holiday photos
It’s one of those pieces that instantly makes your space feel like Christmas without pulling out 27 bins of decor.
FAQ: Frosted Noel Wreath Letters DIY
Can I use real greenery instead of faux?
You can, but faux lasts longer and won’t dry out or make a mess.
What kind of letters work best?
Wood or thick cardboard letters work best because they’re sturdy and easy to glue onto.
Can I make a different word?
Yes! Try JOY, PEACE, or even your family name.
How do I store these after Christmas?
I store mine in a big bin.
Is this a good beginner DIY?
Yes—this is a great project even if you’re not super crafty.
