Do you enjoy making Christmas decorations that you can hang on your walls to add bright colors as you celebrate the holidays? In Keepsake Christmas Decorations, Part 1 and 2, we made Picture Wreath with your child’s picture and a “Hand” made Rudolph. In Part 3 we will make a really beautiful keepsake wreath. This is a great project that is easy to make and really adds Christmas feeling and Christmas smell to your home. I made a keepsake Christmas wreath that my friends always say looks pretty and smells good, too. When they find out that I made it, they want to learn how to make one, too. With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to gather some materials and make one for your own home.
Materials needed: 6″ grapevine wreath, 3/8″ red satin ribbon, ¼” fancy satin ribbon (red and green), 2 or 3 small red silk poinsettia flower pedals, a miniature red berry branch, 2 or 3 sticks of cinnamon, a piece of eucalyptus, scissors, straight pins and a hot glue gun. First, cut a 2″ piece of the fancy red ¼” ribbon and glue the 2 ends together and set it aside. This will be the hanging loop.
Drop a piece of glue on the back of the wreath and pin down the 3/8″ red ribbon. Start wrapping, from the pinned section, the red satin ribbon around the wreath at an angle, about 1″ between each wrap. When you get all the way around the wreath to where you started on the back, place a drop of glue by the pin and lay the red ribbon across it. Remove the pin and secure both ends with a straight pin. Leave a 6″ tail and cut the ribbon.
Next, take the fancy green ¼” ribbon and, beginning where the larger red ribbon started, pin the green satin ribbon beside the first pin and wrap it around the wreath, just beside the red ribbon. Secure the end of the green ribbon the same way as you did with the red ribbon. Again leave a 6″ tail and cut the ribbon. Give the glue an hour or so to dry.
While the glue dries, take the 3/8 red satin ribbon and cut an 18″ piece. Take the eucalyptus and break it into 3 pieces, about 8″ each. Gather the 2 or 3 sticks of cinnamon, the 3 pieces of 8″ eucalyptus and tie them together using the 18″ piece of 3/8″ red ribbon. Tie them tightly together and make a bow, like when you tie shoes. Pull the bow open until the loops are each about 2″ long. This will give you a nice piece of ribbon hanging off the Christmas cluster.
You may remove the pins and turn the wreath over, putting the glued area on the bottom. Now you can take the Christmas cluster of cinnamon sticks and eucalyptus and glue it to the front of your wreath. Using the glue gun, attach the cluster to the front of the wreath, at a slight angle. Because the cluster will be heavier than ribbon, take 2 pieces of 8″ red ribbon and also tie it onto the wreath, one under the poinsettia and another under the bow. Break off a few small pieces of the red berry branch and glue it under the bow. Take the small poinsettia petals and glue one on the cinnamon sticks by the bow and the other under the bow.
While holding the wreath, look and turn it so that the Christmas bow cluster is about 8 o’clock, then find the top and glue the holding loop. You have just made a beautiful Christmas wreath that is sure to be a keepsake for years to come. This is a great gift idea, too!

Generally, there are two categories of wine Christmas ornaments to pick from; vineyard style ornaments or fun ornaments. Traditional ornaments are ones that utilize grapes, wine bottles, barrels and vineyard designs.

Like the wine ornaments, Christmas wine stoppers have both traditional type stoppers such as blown glass stoppers to whimsical stoppers like a passed out Blitzen.
Use bottle collars or charms as decorations by placing them on either full or empty wine bottles. These hang on or from the neck of the bottle. You can use them alone or in conjunction with a wine stopper.

Early Celebrations:
For thousands of years people have held celebrations and festivals where they would have feasts and decorations. Some of the earliest celebrations in the northern hemisphere were the summer and winter solstice, but more especially the winter solstice as this marked the time of the days getting longer and the nights getting shorter. The winter solstice also coincided with other festivals which were celebrated from around mid December to early January. These festivals were decorated with items of the times, such as, garland and other greenery, candles, feasting and dancing. One of the other celebrations of this time was the Festival of Saturn or Saturnalia. For Christmas, the earliest reference is from the Calendar of 354, which mentions the celebration of Christmas for December 25. At the time no one knew the actual birth date of Jesus but it is assumed that early Christian leaders picked this date to coincide with many other pagan festivals as a means of facilitating their transition into Christianity. Although today many bible scholars believe that Christ was actually born in the early spring. This was a way of combining all the celebrations of this time frame into one celebration with all its accompanying decorations and merriment. In those days most of the decorations were outside and not inside, garland, candles, trees and food were set in the streets and hung on the outside of buildings. The Christmas tree was said to represent God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost because it was triangular in shape.
The Spread of Christmas and its Decorations:
As Christianity spread throughout Europe so to were the old festivals and decorations incorporated into the new Christian celebrations. The idea of using greenery as decorations was meant to signify rebirth or the birth of Christ. So items such as ivy, green boughs, garland and green trees were used to decorate towns and communities. Its believed that the Christmas tree and its decorations originated in Germany, where it was decorated with candles and then later tinsel and hand blown glass balls. Through royal marriage Queen Charlotte the wife of King George III brought the Christmas tree tradition from Germany and introduced it into England. This was later reinforced by Prince Albert during the time of Queen Victoria. And as German immigrants came to America they also brought with them, their Christmas traditions and decorations. Over time Christmas trees became a dominate symbol of the Christmas season and its accompanying decorations.
Modern Outdoor Christmas Decorations:
Today as people decorate they use real and artificial garland and greenery, including ivy, poinsettias and wreaths to bring a festive mood not only to the inside of the house but the outside as well. Many neighborhoods, communities or even whole towns get together to decorate for the Christmas season with life size nutcrackers, lights, giant wreaths and nativity scenes. Often communities give awards to homes for their outdoor decorations. A neighborhood in NW Houston, Texas has each street pick a theme and all or most of the homes on that street decorate for that theme, such as snowmen, Santa, Christmas carols and nativity scenes. From early December through Christmas Day people drive up and down those streets to see the wintery scenes of the season and to enjoy the beauty of the outdoor decorations. The same scene is played out in much of the world, even in nations that are typically non-Christian where the holiday is more of an economic event and less about celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Christmas memories always include the time I put aside for my children to make Christmas decorations. We love to make wall decorations and have many keepsakes of past Christmases, some 25 years old! Remembering the activities that we shared making the decorations makes the holidays more special as you lovingly place your decorations on the walls. In the last article, Christmas Keepsake Decorations – Part 1, you saw how to make a “Rudolph Handmade Deer”, using your child’s hand for antlers. A perfect companion keepsake to place beside it is a Picture Christmas Wreath, using your child’s picture as the centerpiece.
Materials needed: white poster board, red felt, scissors (both regular and Z edged), glue, green tempera paint, red wooden beads, tape, a protractor or 2 different sized bowls, some newspaper, and a picture of your child. If you can get your child’s picture in front of a Christmas tree, then it will really be cute! Doing these kinds of Christmas activities can make a family feel closer and helps make wonderful Christmas memories.
The first thing that you should do is draw 2 circles on the white poster board. The largest should be about 7 or 8″. The smaller circle should be 3 & ½ to 4 & ½” and centered in the middle of the larger circle. Let your child help you by cutting out the shapes. Use craft zigzag scissors to cut the outside edge on the larger circle like small Zs. Cutting the inner circle might be hard for children and they may need you to start the cut.
Next, lay down newspapers and let your child paint the larger circle with green tempera paint. It will be cute to see the ‘evergreen’ look or their brush strokes when it dries. While the paint is drying, take the 3 & ½ ” square cut red felt and draw a bow on it. The bow should use most of the square. The bow looks like a butterfly and the ribbon will be like an upside down V, about1″ wide and 1″ long. You should practice a few times until you get the design you like, then copy to the red felt square, and cut it.
Once the paint dries, you’re ready to assemble the wreath. Turn the painted side down and tape the picture over the hole in the middle. Turn it over and check to see if the picture is centered. If the placement is good, then turn it back over and glue the edges to the wreath. Cut a 5″ circle from the white poster board and glue it over the picture, on the back.
You are now ready to finish the Christmas wreath. Attach the red bow with glue to the bottom of the wreath. Glue 5 red wooden beads on the wreath, like holly berries. Your child’s masterpiece is complete and ready to display alone or with the Rudolph Handmade deer. We enjoy making wall decorations that add Christmas spirit, memories and color to our home. If you and your family enjoyed this activity, then you can always use the remaining supplies to make other wreaths, and give them as Christmas presents from the child or family. More keepsake memory decorations will be explained in Keepsake Christmas Decorations
