    Everything Old is New Again with a Christmas Wreath Plaque

    For many of us, the tradition of hanging a Christmas wreath is a beloved part of Christmastime preparations and decorating. While we are all for enjoying beautiful and heartfelt traditions, that doesn’t mean that everything has to stay exactly the same year after year. Once upon a time the familiar description of a Christmas wreath was quite simple in its construct and usually included not much more than lush green foliage. Over time, and particularly in more recent times, what defines a Christmas wreath is far broader than it once was. [gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Farm-Fresh-Christmas-Natural-Red-Twig-Christmas-Rustic-Wreath-with-Burlap-Bow2-scaled.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Wreath-Gold-Hoop.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Boho-Glam-Christmas-Natural-Wheat-and-Leaves-Christmas-Wreath-Butterfly-Wood-Plaque.jpg|,https://www.thechristmascart.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/7.Candy-Cane-Christmas-Natural-Wood-Santa-Please-Stop-Here-Arrow-Sign-Santa-Face-on-Bow-Wreath-Square.jpg|"] Whilst many people still embrace the lush green design base, today’s wreaths might instead be built on a natural twig or rattan base, or even a gold hoop and embellished with brightly coloured baubles, luxurious ribbon, flowers, picks and other small tree decorations or ornaments. These additions allow for plenty of customisation and designing a piece that perfectly suits your individual Christmas decorating style – there is a lot more variation when it comes to Christmas decorating styles than there once was too! The new kid on the block, Christmas wreath plaques provide yet another fabulous was to further enhance your Christmas wreath with a fresh and contemporary update.

    Easily Attach Your Christmas Wreath Plaque

    Our Christmas wreath plaques are made using an MDF base with a high-quality print adhered to the front. The lightweight and durable material and design makes the plaques super easy to easily attach to your chosen piece. Each plaque comes with 2 x self-adhesive cable tie mounts and 2 x cable ties ready for you to affix to the back of the plaque to best suit your required positioning/design requirements. Simply peel the adhesive backing off the mounts and attach them to back of the plaque in the required positions. Then thread the pipe cleaners through the holes in the mounts. Keeping your plaque face down on the workbench, position the wreath over the plaque and pull the ends of the pipe cleaners through to the back side of the wreath. Twist the pipe cleaners around each other to secure the plaque to the wreath at both spots. Because of the fully customisable positioning, no matter what type or size of wreath you are working with, it is simple and easy to position and secure your Christmas wreath plaque exactly where you need it. So, now you are all up to speed on the latest Christmas decorating trend. What are you waiting for?!
