Christmas wreaths are a wonderful decoration piece. Hung on the door or a window, they invite the Christmas season to your home. By placing the Christmas wreath on a greeting card, you can wish family and friends a Merry Christmas.

The Christmas wreath on this card is beautifully decorated with ornaments such as balls, stars and a Christmas bell as the finishing touch. In the cut out circle you can write a nice Christmas message for the recipient.

In this photo tutorial you’ll learn step by step how to make this Christmas wreath with ornaments card.

Step 1: Take a blank red card and unfold it.
Step 2: Look for the center of the card front by using a ruler. Make guidelines with a pencil if needed.

Step 3: Draw a circle using a drafting compass from the center. If you don’t have one, you can use a jar lid or a small vase instead and trace it with a pencil.
Step 4: Cut out the circle with a craft knife.

Step 5: Turn the card over and put double-sided adhesive tape on the inside of the card.

Step 6: Take a sheet of beige paper or another light color. Put it on the inside of the card.
Step 7: Cut off the excess paper with a craft knife.

Step 8: Write down the Christmas message that can be seen inside the Christmas wreath. You can draw guidelines with a pencil and ruler to help you write straight. Then write the text with a pen or fineliner.
Step 9: Remove the guidelines with an eraser.

Step 10: Let’s make the Christmas wreath. First take a sheet of white paper. Fold a piece and draw half a holly leaf from the fold.
Step 11: Then cut out the shape with scissors.
Step 12: Unfold the holly leaf and check if it fits the cut out circle on the card front. If needed, repeat step 10 & 11 a few times until you are happy with the holly leaf’s shape and size.

Step 13: Trace the holly leaf shape onto a sheet of green paper with a pencil. Repeat this step about 9 to 10 times. It also depends on your leaf’s size.
Step 14: Cut out the holly leaves with a craft knife.

Step 15: Remove visible pencil traces with an eraser.
Step 16: Take a green pencil that is a lighter color than the green sheet of paper. Draw leaf veins on the leaves

Step 17: Fold the holly leaves in half lengthwise. This creates a subtle depth effect on your Christmas card.

Step 18: To create the Christmas balls: You can take a sheet of white paper. Trace the outline of a marker pen or craft knife’s backside with a pencil.
Step 19: Cut out the shape with scissors.

Step 20: Then trace the ball shape multiple times on a sheet of blue paper with a pencil. The amount of times depends on the holly leaves of your Christmas wreath.
Step 21: Cut out the ball shapes.

Step 22: You can decorate the balls by applying small dots with a glitter gel pen to add some sparkle.

Now that we’ve made all the Christmas wreath parts, it’s time to assemble the wreath.

Step 23: First attach the holly leaves around the cut out circle, using double-sided adhesive tape.
Step 24: Then create a nice mixture of the Christmas balls and golden stars on the wreath. You can position the ornaments onto the wreath before attaching them

In my Christmas wreath I needed an odd number of Christmas ornaments, so I decided to make a Christmas bell in addition.

Step 25: In order to create the bell shape, you can fold a piece of white paper. Then draw a half bell from the fold.
Step 26: Cut out the bell shape.

Step 27: Unfold it and trace the shape on a sheet of yellow paper.
Step 28: Cut out the yellow bell with a craft knife.

Step 29: Cut a small strip of yellow paper for the bell’s clapper.
Step 30: Round off the corners on one short side.

Step 31: Attach the yellow strip behind the bell with double-sided adhesive tape.
Step 32: Then attach the bell to the wreath by using double-sided adhesive tape.
