DIY Flocked Wreath

For a wintery, snow globe-inspired touch to your holiday decor, try this DIY flocked wreath. Begin by applying flocking powder to your wreath for that fallen snow effect.

Fill in open spaces with snowflake decorations for a truly white Christmas vibe.

Southern Shimmer

Achieve a formal yet understated look with this DIY Southern-inspired evergreen wreath. Adorn magnolia leaves, pinecones, and nuts with a touch of gold spray paint for the metallic shimmer. Secure these glamorous elements to the wreath with florist wire and hot glue, tucking in thin wooden skewers for easier attachment of leaf and pinecone clusters.

Winter Woodland

Welcome your guests with a winter woodland wreath featuring cardinals, symbols of love and devotion. To create this frosted display, coat berries with spray adhesive and glass glitter. Once dry, attach these glittering branches, faux nests, and bird figures uniformly around the wreath. Tie a traditional bow of wide red satin ribbon for a finishing touch.

Coastal Charm

Bring the tranquility of the sea to your holiday decor with this coastal Christmas wreath. Begin by attaching tiny ornaments resembling seashells, pearls, sand dollars, and glittered starfish with wooden skewers. Secure these seafaring decorations around the wreath with hot glue or florist wire and add driftwood to the bottom. A blue spruce wreath completes the serene coastal color scheme.

Copper Hula-Hoop Christmas Wreath

The homemade Christmas wreath idea perfectly combines inexpensive and elegant, and guests will never guess what it’s made from. Take two hula hoops and transform them with copper spray paint. Tie greenery like eucalyptus, pine, and lamb’s ear to the wreath (although we recommend using faux greenery for a homemade wreath to last from year to year), and then finish with a holiday bow. This larger-than-life Christmas wreath makes the best accent piece on a fence or outer wall.

Pink Bauble Wreath

If you love pink Christmas decor, this DIY Christmas wreath idea is the perfect statement piece to add to your collection. To make it, attach crepe paper-covered balls to a pretty greenery wreath, alternating colors and sizes all the way around. Since the balls are covered in paper, we don’t recommend hanging this one outside on the front door, but it makes a gorgeous statement over the mantel.

Chalkboard Christmas Wreath

Affix a piece of chalkboard to the back of your holiday wreath and write a festive message on the front. Add a simple Christmas bow, and you’re done!

Tinsel Wreath

This isn’t your ordinary tinsel wreath! This more-is-more display starts with a basic sparkly Christmas wreath idea but gets a bold upgrade from as many Christmas ornaments, bottle brush trees, pinecones, and accessories as possible. Use hot glue to attach everything, and use craft wire on extra-heavy ornaments as well.

This snowy scene comes together with a few skeins of yarn and some small mantel decor items. Make a whole set of DIY pom-poms in white and cream and attach them to a plain wreath form using hot glue. Accessorize with mini bottlebrush trees and a small house figure. Use a sparkly ribbon to hang the wreath on the front door or over the mantel.

Red Flower Wreath

This lush Christmas wreath is easy to create with an oval floral oasis as a base. Soak the oasis until it’s thoroughly wet and then tuck in stems of flowers, berries, and greens trimmed with shears to 3- to 4-inch lengths, clustering each type into free-flowing waves of color. The surprise element here is the radishes; wire small bunches to a floral pick and insert the pick. We also used amaryllis, spray and garden roses, protea, hypericum berries, and mixed evergreens.

Christmas Tree Wreath

Tired of the same old circular Christmas wreath? Craft your own creative Christmas tree-shaped wreath. Lay small cedar wreaths in a triangle tree shape and attach them with green craft wire. Add a “trunk” at the bottom, constructed from a few sticks cut to the same length. Hang from a pretty ribbon tied into a classic bow.

Felt Poinsettia Wreath

Perhaps even more than mistletoe, the poinsettia is the quintessential holiday plant. As an alternative to the traditional plants, we made felt poinsettia flowers. Arrange them on a faux eucalyptus wreath and secure with florists wire to add lush, everlasting greenery to your holiday decor.

Pretty Pinecone Christmas Wreath

Simple materials get a textural upgrade, thanks to a little dose of white spray paint to reference a dusting of snow. Vary the coverage of spray paint so some pinecones are fully “snow-covered” and others are lightly dusted. Let dry. Use 8-inch pieces of florists wire to attach pinecones to a wire wreath form. Hot glue red jingle bells to the wreath, placing most of them on the full-white pinecones to help the color pop.

DIY Red Berry Wreath

This handmade red berry wreath adds cheery color to your holiday front porch. Get the look by updating a basic grapevine wreath with seasonal red berries and an oversized bow. Make it even merrier and add small greenery branches or ball ornaments.

Twig Christmas Wreath

Paint a grapevine wreath white (or start with a white wreath). Give several twigs a light coat of white spray paint and let dry. Attach the longest sticks to the wreath with a glue gun and fill in with smaller pieces, gluing them in place as needed. Spray the whole wreath with light coat of white paint, allowing some of the natural color to show through. Glue on pinecones, tie on a jute ribbon bow, and add a few cedar sprigs behind the bow.

Red Berry Traditional Wreath

Start with a basic store-bought fir wreath and tuck in branches of red berries and faux greenery to create this overstuffed yet beautiful DIY Christmas wreath idea. Keep it casual with unmeasured berry twigs (some long, some short) and a loose, imperfect red bow. Match the colors in the wreath to your holiday decor for a cohesive palette.

Almond Flower Christmas Wreath

Spare a handful of almonds from the nutcracker and repurpose them as a Christmas wreath embellishment instead.

Display it through the holiday season and into spring; this long-lasting wreath can be customized with your favorite faux flowers, berries, and ribbon.

Metallic Magnolia Wreath

Embellish a store-bought magnolia leaf wreath with metallic spray paint and twigs. Spray-paint the wreath silver, letting some of the leaves’ green and brown hues show through. (We used a 24-inch wreath.) Let the paint dry. Cut white branches into 8-inch and 15-inch lengths. Following the wreath’s curves, insert the branches in the wreath.

Homemade Skate Wreath

Repurpose an out-of-commission pair of skates as a DIY Christmas wreath idea for your front door. Just fill the boots with sprigs of greenery and holly berries. Hang up the skates on a door or mantel using ribbon and hooks.

Homemade Forest Wreath

Turn a mossy wreath into a woodland tableaux. Choose twigs with interesting lines and forked details. Beginning at the top, place the thickest twigs in a pattern so they follow the curve of the wreath. Secure with floral U pins. Fill in with smaller twigs tucked or pinned in place. Wire a few birds to the wreath. Tie a ribbon as a hanger around the top of the wreath, and attach a bow with wire.

Fruit-Harvest Wreath

A pretty collection of greens and bright colors focuses attention on pretty fruits. To create, purchase a wire wreath form. Use florists wire to attach faux or real apples for this Christmas wreath idea, inserting the wire end into the bottom of the apple and wrapping it around the wreath. Add an inner layer of limes using the same method and an outer layer of pinecones. Insert greenery as needed to fill in gaps and add fullness to the pinecone Christmas wreath.

Make a statement with your wreath this year by hanging an oversized wooden cutout greeting on the front of your wreath. Use a bright white paint color and silver glitter to customize the phrase and help it stand out against the backdrop. Attach silver ornament accents to finish the metallic wreath.

Colorful Pinecone Wreath

Give your Christmas wreath a retro look with a few brightly colored elements. Purchase a fir wreath and spray paint it lightly and evenly with white paint. Add bright-colored accents—a few pinecones spray-painted in bright hues and miniature holiday ornaments—and hang with a ribbon.

Fragrant Laurel Christmas Wreath

A classic wreath form, the laurel, gets a fragrant twist with fresh rosemary in this subtle Christmas wreath idea. Hot glue the inner and outer rings of a 14-inch wooden quilting hoop together and let it dry. Cut an 8-inch section from the top of the glued-together hoop. Use florists wire to attach rosemary bunches to the sides of the hoop and sprigs to the front. Glue a bow to the bottom center of the wreath; dust with faux snow if desired.

Give an elegant design boost to a classic evergreen wreath. Glittery holiday balls and spray-painted bay leaves supply a golden gloss. Choose a silky ribbon in a complementary color to bring together the Christmas accents and greenery.

Boxwood Blue Christmas Wreath

This boxwood beauty is an elegant way to break outside the circle. The icy blue wreath starts with a purchased square boxwood wreath and finishes with mini ornaments and glittering sugar beads.

Perfectly Paired Christmas Wreaths

Why stop at just one wreath? Link two wreaths together to form a topiary-like look on your front door. Hang the wreaths on separate hooks for stability, but tie a ribbon from one wreath to the next so they look like one cohesive Christmas wreath idea.

Vintage Christmas Wreath

Give mini Christmas balls a little extra oomph by placing them in the center of vintage tree light reflectors. Attach the ultra-shiny ornaments and additional balls to the wreath using florists wire, and then hang with a ribbon in an unexpected color, such as a shade of pink.

Window Christmas Wreath

Yes, the wreath is important, but sometimes, what you pair with the wreath makes the ultimate Christmas statement. Here, an unadorned leafy wreath is supported by a pair of old windows, creating a gorgeous combination that’s both vintage and festive.

Cute Santa Wreath

Citrus Grapevine Christmas Wreath

This season, we’re sweet on citrus. Make artificial citrus fruit sparkle with a swipe of glue and a sprinkling of German glass glitter. Once dry, glue onto an 18-inch grapevine wreath. Tuck in fresh or faux citrus leaves and glue them in place.

Frosty Blue Wreath

The luster of silvery ornaments makes any amount of evergreen stand out in this Christmas wreath with pinecones and berries. Using florists wire, attach silver-sprayed pinecones to an evergreen wreath. Add a mix of medium and large silver glass ornaments, using florists wire to secure. For elegant blue or teal additions, tuck in small ornaments.

Curled Paper Christmas Wreath

This Christmas wreath idea adds personal charm with family photos and hand-selected scrapbook paper. To craft, curl 1×6-inch paper strips, wrap them tightly around a pencil, and then glue the ends together. Once dry, hot glue the paper circles onto an 8-inch foam circle at various angles. Play with patterns and prints to give your wreath pops of holiday color and cheer.

Leather Hoop Wreath

This leather wreath is minimalist without being Grinch-like and ideal for homes with modern decor. If modern isn’t your style, try wrapping the hoops in yarn or ribbon. To create, hot glue two craft rings together. Wrap each ring with its own color of leather cording, overlapping the cording where the rings meet. Arrange faux greenery and secure with hot glue. Secure colored ornaments or wood balls with hot glue and hang with leather cording.

Gold-Studded Pinecone Wreath

Paint pinecones silver and stud them with gold embellishments for a metallic take on your Christmas door. Start with a basic pinecone wreath and spray-paint it silver. Wire on gold accessories, such as golden nuts (you can spray-paint them yourself if you can’t find them pre-painted) and gold ball ornaments. Hang with a wide silk gold ribbon.

Festive Holiday Yarn Wreath

Greet rosy-cheeked guests with a warm, flowery wreath. First, wrap green yarn around a wreath form (available at your local crafts store).

Blue and Silver Christmas Balls Wreath

Dress up a plain evergreen wreath with eucalyptus sprigs, glass ball ornaments, and spray paint.

Use pearl-gold and mist-blue glitter sprays to give the wreath trimmings some frosty elegance.

Leafy Red-and-Green Christmas Wreath

The luster of silvery pink-sprayed leaves, in combination with the bright red leaves, make this Christmas wreath idea a showstopper. To make, spray purchased green faux leaves with your favorite shades of shimmery pink and red. Leave some of the leaves green to balance the color. Once dry, tuck them tightly in an evergreen wreath.

Holly Jolly Felt Wreath

A collection of perky colors gives an ordinary holiday wreath a bright makeover. Choose felt in classic red and green shades and add complementary hues like orange and aqua.

To make this wreath, cut the felt into 7-inch strips, about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in width. Wrap and overlap the strips around the foam wreath, pinning the ends to the back. Glue on a cute berry embellishment to finish.

To make the berries: Craft the cozy red berries using three 1×20-inch strips. Trim one long edge of each strip with pinking shears. Roll each strip to make a berry, starting at one short end and keeping the long straight edge aligned. Secure to the felt using hot glue.

Colorful Christmas Ornament Wreath

From sweet pinks and reds to icy blues and greens, this Christmas wreath is as colorful as they come! To make, collect ornaments of different shapes, sizes, and styles. Hot glue them to an 8-inch foam wreath, pointing the tops toward the wreath form. Sowcase the finished wreath above a mantel or fireplace where it can really sparkle.

Pinecone Wreath with Cardinals and Ornaments

Invite feathered Christmas friends to circle around a wreath this year. To make this holiday wreath, coat a store-bought pinecone wreath with gray spray paint. Spray with spray snow, then silver glitter; let dry between coats. Arrange three cardinal figurines and nine round red ornaments among the pinecones, adhering with hot glue to keep them in place.
