Is your Cypress home in need of a makeover? Well, that shouldn’t be hard to do, especially when you can start a do-it-yourself wreath project! Are you looking to trim a door, wall, window, or any other area of your house? Wreaths are the way to go. Store-bought wreaths are usually quite expensive, though. And, they might not be the kind that suits your taste. This is why you might want to consider DIY wreaths this season.
Bicycle wheel. Upcycle an old bicycle wheel into a wreath full of vintage fun. Simply twine real or fake evergreen boughs around the rim, then wrap it in a festive red rope or ribbon. A simple bright bow would be a great touch for your entryway or door.
Peanut wreath. For a touch of the unconventional, why not create a wreath out of unshelled peanuts? A foam wreath form is a great way to piece together peanuts in their shells because you can glue them on it! Then, take a burlap ribbon and tie it around the wreath like a bow.
Cookie cutters. Baking cookies is a holiday thing, right? So, why not make a wreath that celebrates this season? Start by gluing decorative paper to the back of several cookie cutters. Then, glue the cookie cutters into a circular shape. Finally, you can wrap the whole thing with a pretty ribbon and hang it anywhere in your home for good old holiday vibes.
Wine corks. Are you the type to save wine bottle corks? If so, you can use them to make a wreath! Using a straw or twig wreath form, simply glue your corks in concentric circles to cover. Afterward, you use floral wire to attach sprigs of evergreen and bright holly berries for all the warm vibes!
Sheet music. If it’s holiday music you’re into, why not use a wreath to express the musical side of you this season? Taking a couple of torn sheets of music, you can twist or curl them, and then glue them together in a circular shape. Add some colorful paper rosettes to the inner ring to craft the perfect musical decoration for your home.
PVC pipe. Not just for plumbing, PVC pipe can be used to make a unique wreath for your home! Simply cut different sizes of PVC pipe into thin sections, then glue them together (with open sides facing outward) into a circular arrangement. After spray painting the pipe a pretty gold or another color, fill the openings of the pipes with colorful ornaments for a festive decoration.
Socks. Declutter your laundry room by picking up all of your old or single socks. Instead of throwing them out, why not use them to make your next wreath? Making use of embroidery hoops, trace a wreath onto a foam core. Once you finish, you can cut out the form and wrap it with socks. Remember to glue them together so that they actually stick. Then, fit the whole thing back inside the embroidery hoops and decorate.
Ties. Those extra neckties don’t have to be tossed out — you can use them to make another DIY wreath. Use a foam wreath form to wrap and pin your neckties around. Remember to glue the loose ends to the back of the foam so that they don’t end up coming undone. After, all you’ll need are some leftover fabric to make a bow to complete the holiday wreath that’s dressed to impress.
