The Green Spiked Wreath Frame

What this wreath frame is

The Green Spiked Wreath Frame is a base for making your own wreath. It is made of green plastic, so it blends in once you add branches, stems and ribbon. Rows of spikes run around the ring. You push stems, wire or ties onto the spikes to hold your greenery in place.

The frame comes as a single piece. The main size is 15 in (40 cm) wide, and the ring shape gives you a full circle to work around. Because the frame is green, any small gaps between your stems are less noticeable than they would be on a bare metal ring.

Sizes

The frame is offered in several sizes. Each option is a single-piece frame.

Pick the size that matches where the wreath will hang. A smaller frame suits a door with a glass panel or a narrow wall space. A larger frame fills a wide front door or a blank stretch of wall. The 15 in (40 cm) frame is a middle size that works on many standard front doors.

How to build your wreath

Start by laying the frame flat on a table. Sort your greenery into small bunches. Press each bunch onto the spikes and wrap the stems or a short length of wire around the ring to lock it down. Work in one direction around the circle so the bunches overlap and the frame stays covered.

Keep the rows of spikes in mind as you go. They give you many anchor points, so you can place stems close together for a full look or spread them out for a lighter one. When you reach the start point, tuck the last bunch under the first one and tie it off.

Add ribbon, bows or small ornaments last. Tie them to the ring or wire them to a spike. If the wreath will hang outdoors, set the hanger at the top and check the balance before you hang it. A wreath that is heavier on one side will slide on the hook.

Where it works

This frame suits a Christmas wreath for a front door, a porch wall or an indoor entry. It also works for a winter wreath that stays up past the holidays. The green plastic ring holds up to repeated use, so you can rebuild it with new stems each season.

Use it indoors or in a covered spot outdoors. If you hang it where rain and wind reach it, keep the finished wreath light and tie the greenery down well.

Care and storage

Wipe the frame with a damp cloth if it picks up dust. Let it dry fully before you store it. When the season ends, remove the greenery and any wire, then store the bare frame flat or hang it on a hook. Keep it out of direct sun for long periods so the plastic color holds. A dry, cool spot is best.
