DIY Christmas Wreath

Tis the season for holiday shopping. I thought it was time to update my wreath on my door, so off to the mall I went. After the 4th store I went into and saw the really expensive door wreath I decided a) I can make this myself  and b) I can do this for way less than the ones I saw at the store. Plus lets be real I love a fun DIY project, this took me a few hours and I loved the way it turned out so much I made two. 

Materials Used:

  1. Wreath used is a 28”.
  2. Ribbon used is 35 ft. or ½ roll of Mesh Ribbon
  3.  I used apple picks but you can use any of our cute picks. 

Directions:

  1. Wind 4” mesh ribbon around wreath connecting the ribbon on the wire branches every 6 Inches, while you loop the ribbon around the wreath.
  2. Place 12 apple picks or 12 of any other decoration you wish around the wreath and fluff until you are happy.
