Deck the halls, trim the tree, and spruce up your home from the outside, during the Christmas season. So, what is the better way to express holiday vibe than with a festive looking wreath on your front door? Yep, but if you want to spread the holidays with something that is really you then a handmade creation is all kinds of classic. Crafting your own wreath is also a great way to have a bit of festive fun and flex your creative muscles.
There’s a wreath idea here to suit every style and skill level, whether you already consider yourself a DIY expert or come equipped with nothing but a glue gun and a fair amount of courage. No matter whether you want rustic charm or elegant opulence, your neighbors are going to be staring over the fence in envy. Below we’ll dive into some of the best DIY Christmas wreath ideas that will make your front door the top of conversation for your neighborhood.
Evergreen Elegance
Nothing will ever replace the timelessness of an evergreen wreath. Lay down fresh pine, cedar, and fir branches on a wire wreath frame, securing them in place with floral wire. It’s festive enough with red berries, pinecones, and a velvet ribbon. This wreath looks so beautiful with the fresh scent in your entryway .
Rustic Burlap Charm
However, if you are dreaming of a country Christmas, a burlap wreath is the way to go. Use a foam wreath form that you wrap in burlap ribbon and add miniature ornaments, wooden stars, or small bells on the form. Burlap neutral tones blend with any holiday decor, but the down to earth vibe also makes this sign warm and cozy for the home.
Modern Minimalist Wreath
Minimalist wreaths are also a very sleek, contemporary, and tasteful option for those who don’t want to go all out on Christmas décor. Place a simple metal hoop, decorate sparingly with eucalyptus branches, white berries, and a single satin bow. This is the perfect design for you, and I’m sure it’ll stand out from a myriad of traditional decor.
Candy Cane Lane
A candy cane-themed wreath can bring some sweetness to your door. Take a foam, grapevine or other round wreath and wrap with red and white striped ribbon, attaching faux peppermint candies, lollipops or real candy canes. This design is sure to delight visitors of all ages because according to a recent survey by the National Confectioners Association, 77% of Americans enjoy peppermint during the holidays.
Glam Gold And Glitter
A gold and glitter wreath is the ticket if your holiday style is glitz and glamour. Adorn a grapevine wreath with some sparkle; spray paint a grapevine wreath gold and add glittery ornaments, metallic ribbons, and a little shimmer.
Vintage Ornament Wreath
Do you have a stash of dusty vintage ornaments in the attic? Turn them into a wreath and give them a new lease on life. Layer the ornaments on a foam wreath to give a full, lush feeling; hot glue them in place. Not only is this lovely, but it’s also a place to remember the holidays we’ve had since.
Plaid Perfection
No holiday pattern is more quintessentially festive than plaid, which instantly makes any décor feel cozily festive. Wrap a foam base with plaid fabric or ribbon to make a plaid wreath. Fun fact: According to Christmas Forest Wreaths, plaid as one of the most popular patterns for holiday decorations in the U.S.
Snowy Wonderland
Snag the magic of a white Christmas with a snow-inspired wreath. Take fluffy faux snow and cover a foam base, layer white and silver ornaments, sparkly snowflakes, and of course LED lights. It will turn your front door into a winter wonderland.
Natural Woodland Beauty
If you want to bring a touch of the outdoors to your doorstep, a woodland-themed wreath is a great way to do it. You can use twigs, moss, or pinecones, or even little deer or owl figurines. The natural textures and earthy colors on these images make for a cozy, cabin-like feel that is perfect for the holiday season.
Jingle Bell Joy
The cheerful sound of jingle bells is something you can’t miss about Christmas. Make a wreath out of assorted size bells, suspended from a metal ring using thin ribbon or twine wire. This wreath will not only be festive, but will also make a satisfying clang whenever the door opens or closes.
Coastal Christmas Wreath
If you’re one of the lucky ones that lives by the coast or would love to have a beach Christmas, a coastal-themed wreath is a great option. Decorate the towels using seashells, starfish, and sand dollars and have white and blue accents. If you don’t have it available, sprinkle on a bit of glitter to mimic the shimmer of sunlight on the ocean.
Farmhouse Chic
The farmhouse aesthetic keeps going strong and it looks great for outdoor holiday decor! I am using a wooden embroidery hoop as your base and decorating it with cotton stems, lamb’s ear greenery, and a burlap bow. It is a simple, rustic design that is both trendy and inviting, particularly for a cozy holiday season.
