Easy Boxwood Star Wreaths
If you are looking for an easy and natural holiday decoration, you are going to love these easy boxwood star wreaths. They are perfect for any place in your home during the holiday season.
I have these sprinkled throughout the house during the month of December. The boxwood wreaths are so easy that I make extras to give to family and friends.Â
Â
Â
I made one for the living room and some mini’s for the back of the chairs. I am going to show you how to make the mini boxwood star wreaths. although the same process would apply to the big metal star I used in the living room.

Easy Boxwood Star Wreaths Supplies
Boxwood cuttings
Popsicle sticks or other star shape
glue
floral wire
scissors
Â
 What to do
Begin by forming a star with your Popsicle sticks and securing each point with glue ( I used a hot glue gun). Â Next, wrap your star with the boxwood cuttings using some floral wire to secure to the stick.
Â
Â
You will want to place new clippings on top of your wire so that it is not visible. Continue this all the way around your formation, securing with your wire.
Â
Â
When you are finished you will want to snip away any loose cuttings and shape your star. I like a tidy look so I cut mine fairly symmetrical….. without looking totally perfect.
Â
Â
Use some ribbon to hang and  don’t forget to occasionally mist so it will stay fresh well into the New Year….or you can just make another.

What a super project! Love this look — may have to snag some popsicle sticks from school today to whip out a few of these!

It should be just one star for Christmas, right? I love the large one and the tiny ones are a great idea for the chairs.
I so remember making these popsicle stick stars with my son when he was a little guy!….Love how you took it to the next step with the great boxwood!…great idea Laura…you nailed your only craft for the holidays!!!…
Thank you for showing how to make your star! It's lovely and I can't wait to make one for my home! Hugs,
Where has this month gone?????
Well if you are only doing one holiday craft, you sure picked a good one! I love it!
Very pretty and you made it look easy!
Oh- that is so pretty and what an easy thing to do. I have some boxwoods that I really need to clip and I could still do a nice one of these for the kitchen window before Christmas. Thanks for the idea, Laura. I love it- xo Diana
Those look so good! I love stars and boxwood so that's a great combo. Thanks for the tutorial!
LOL, I feel the same way. Thanksgiving came and was so late. I had to go through so much stuff to decide what to keep, use and give away. I just finished yesterday and did my first post today.
Love these. Can't wait to plant boxwood this spring. My favorite
