Christmas Lariat Wreath

This is a tutorial on how to make a Christmas Lariat Wreath. First step: Find a used lariat. That's easy for me since I live in the middle of cowboy country!


A zip tie at the top secures the rope. Tuck the tail into the rope strands. The ribbon was for a hanger, but in the end, I used wire.


Some may want to use this idea. This is an old swag from my mother's decorations. I decided not to go this route.


Wrap about 3 foot of garland  at the top. This provides fullness and a place to stick greenery.


Stick in greenery.


Add a bow. There are lots of videos on the internet on how to construct a bow. I used a pipe cleaner to attach.


I attached red ball ornaments with wire. This would be complete unless you wanted to add a horseshoe.


One idea is to use a glue gun to wrap ribbon and include a horseshoe.


I chose to attach a horseshoe with a pipe cleaner. I tied on a bow, or you could glue it. The size of this wreath is 21 inches across.

Have fun making your wreath! Merry Christmas!
