Step 1: Wrap the Christmas garland in a circle

First, wrap the Christmas garland in a circle. This sets the foundation of the wreath. To secure the ends of the garland together, wrap the ends extra around each other. Kooyman does also sell a ready-made wreath, which is also a great base to start with.

Step 2: Attach the ribbon

Next, attach a ribbon to the wreath for hanging. Cut a longer ribbon so you can always shorten it if needed. Loop the ribbon around the wreath and then tie it in a knot. 

Step 3: Fill the Christmas wreath

Once the ribbon is secure, it's time to fill the Christmas wreath. Start with the outer edge of the wreath, using the largest baubles. First determine the placement of the Christmas baubles. Then thread the string of the Christmas bauble through a branch and wrap the branch tightly around the wreath. If necessary, add glue or double-sided tape between the baubles to keep them in place.

Once the first row is secure, work from the outside edge to the inside edge. Fill the gaps with Christmas baubles. Do this until you are satisfied.

In addition to Christmas balls, you can also add other Christmas ornaments to your wreath. If you have any small Christmas balls left, use them to fill the remaining gaps.

If there is one moment to really go all out with a festively laid table, it is during Christmas. After all, the table is the centerpiece during the holidays to gather around, enjoy delicious food and create memories.Step 1: Theme of your dining table

A theme provides guidance when setting and decorating your Christmas table for the festive dinner. For example, this theme could be a color palette. Choose a few colors that you want to incorporate into your table settings.

Step 2: The right tableware

Time to set the table! Gather the supplies you need to decorate your Christmas table, such as a tablecloth, crockery and cutlery. A beautifully set Christmas table looks even more festive if you stack the crockery on top of each other. Choose different plates for each course and pay attention to the choice of cutlery. Place the cutlery according to etiquette rules for a refined look, with the cutlery used on the outside of the plate. Place the water and wine glasses at the top right.

Step 3: Finish it off with table decorations

Now it's time for decoration. Choose your favorite decorations and place them on the table. Create groups, play with layers and vary the height with candles and other decorations. Another nice idea is to put Christmas baubles and small Christmas trees on the table.

Don't wait any longer and make your decorations by yourself this year, so that your house is completely Christmas-proof. In addition to all the decorations, enjoy your beautifully set table during a delicious Christmas dinner! Kooyman has the tools and accessories you need to assist you with this project!
