Working time: 1 hour
Step 1: Preparing the kandelaar
Start by inserting the kandelaar securely into the flower arrangement foam-cylinders. Make sure that they are stable and secure so that the candles do not fall over later. This base ensures that your Advent wreath has a solid stand.
Step 2: Place the candles
Now place the candles on the prepared kandelaar. Choose candles in your favorite color to match the rest of your Christmas decorations. When making the Advent wreath, you can give free rein to your creativity and combine different heights or colors of candles.
Step 3: Fixing in the decorative bowl
You will need hot glue to fix everything securely in place. Apply a small amount to the underside of the flower arrangement foam-cylinders and press them firmly into your decorative bowl. The glue ensures that nothing slips and that your Advent wreath remains stable.
Step 4: Fill with Iceland moss
Now fill the entire bowl generously with Iceland moss. This flattering green moss gives your Advent wreath a natural yet luxurious look. It also helps to fill in any gaps and make the wreath look full and lush.
Step 5: Decorate with willow and eucalyptus
Now comes the creative part: place decorative willow- and eucalyptus branches on the moss. These elements bring different textures and colors to your Advent wreath and create a festive, yet natural look.
Step 6: Attach the minichristmas balls
Finally, add the finishing touches to your Advent wreath. Apply a little hot glue to individual mini-christmas balls and carefully press them into the moss. Spread the baubles evenly to create a harmonious overall look. These sparkling accents will make your wreath shine and create festive highlights.
