Over the years, wreaths have become a decoration for more than just holidays. Wreaths are actually a great way to bring color and personality to your front door. You can use a single wreath year-round or switch it up each season. However, often you choose to change your wreaths, you can have fun with the endless possibilities. Check out our wreaths used to decorate during each season.
All of the wreaths shown were purchased. But, making wreaths is also an option that is perfect for winter, especially if you can’t get outside. This popular creative activity allows you to make wreaths from scratch or add materials to wreaths you’ve already purchased.
While we have made our own wreaths, we prefer to buy them. We’ll either use them as is or adjust them by adding or removing items to make them more personal or appealing to us. For example, we bought the brown cone wreath then added the red bow and letter J that we painted black and white. We also bought the green wreath with the cranberries. But, we added the butterflies and gold leaves for more color.
If making wreaths from scratch sounds appealing, there are a few basic items you’ll need:
