Step by Step Christmas Wreath Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Bow
Start by drawing an oval in the center of the page. Add two big loops on each side of the oval to make a bow shape.
Step 2 – Add the Ribbon Tails
From the bottom of the bow, draw two pointed ribbon shapes hanging down like upside-down triangles. These make the bow look complete.
Step 3 – Draw the Wreath Base
Around the bow, draw a large, fluffy circle using bumpy curves. This is the shape of your wreath — like a puffy donut or cloud.
Step 4 – Add Holly and Ornaments
Under the ribbon, draw a few holly leaves with pointy edges. Then, add two round ornament shapes — one on each side of the wreath.
Step 5 – Add More Ornaments
Draw two more ornaments near the bottom of the wreath. Try to space them evenly so your design looks balanced.
Step 6 – Draw a Happy Face
Finally, give your wreath a cheerful personality by adding two dot eyes and a cute smiling mouth near the bottom center.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What colors should I use for the wreath?
Green for the leaves, red for the bow, and a mix of festive colors like gold, silver, and blue for the ornaments. Feel free to get creative!
Can I decorate it with extra details?
Absolutely! You can draw candy canes, stars, bells, or even write someone’s name in the center.
Is this a good classroom art project?
Yes! It’s simple, symmetrical, and great for holiday-themed art boards, cards, and take-home crafts.
What if I mess up the shape?
No problem! You can always trace lightly with pencil first and use an eraser if needed. Wreaths are naturally imperfect — that’s what makes them look real!
