make your own wreath. minimal skill required.
I love wreaths. I love them. But I can’t afford the ones that I really love. And I don’t like the ones I can afford. So if you’re like me and you’re not particularly crafty, just picky and… frugal, there’s a super easy solution.
Take a little trip to a nearby craft store to pick up an inexpensive, basic, vine wreath.
Walk through the floral department and select the kinds of foliage or flowers you want to use. I tend to like simple, sparse designs made of all the same foliage. For my new autumn wreath, I chose 3 varied shades of the same small flower.
I’m making a wreath for my front door, which gets hit by sun, and wind, and occasionally rain. So I have to avoid any adornments (berries, etc) that are made out of styrofoam. Because ohhh the carnage.
Use wire clippers to cut apart the stems so that you have many different pieces to use. Begin sliding the stems/flowers into the wreath, alternating colors & types as you’d like, until the wreath is full. And ba-da-bing… you’re done!
Happy fall!
