DIY Rosehip Wreath Ornaments
You’ll need:
- rosehips
- wire
- strong scissors or wire cutter
- needle
The rosehips must be hard – it doesn’t work with soft rosehips.
Pierce each rosehip with a needle or the wire.
Then thread the rosehips onto the wire. I used between 8 and 11 rosehips per wreath.
When you’ve threaded all rosehips for one wreath, bend the wire into a wreath shape. Twist the ends of the wire together to secure the wreath form, then cut off the excess wire.
The rosehips dry with time and you can keep the DIY rosehip wreath ornaments for next Christmas.
Great Idea! These are beautiful and make so much more sense for our home than cranberries. (we’d have to buy cranberries, but we have a zillion rosehips right outside our door!) I’m glad I found this at the homestead blog hop!
Thanks, Magi! 😀 I’m glad you like it!
These are so simply beautiful! What a nice way to bring a little nature into your home.

oh so pretty love the red berries I am sure brightened the inside up a bit
Thanks, Angie!
would this work with cranberries? i don’t know where to find any rosehips without sneaking into neighbors yards, lol!
I haven’t used cranberries for wreaths yet, so I don’t know if it’ll work. Rose hips air dry over time so they don’t get moldy or rot. But they still look good when dried. If cranberries also air dry over time, then they’ll probably work. Hope this helps! 😀
