5 Ways to Dress up a Basic Evergreen Wreath
Basic evergreen holiday wreaths are available here at most grocery and big box stores. One of the best thing about these store-bought wreaths is that all the hard work is done for you.
They're also affordable- I picked this one up at Walmart for $12.98.
But, they are a little ho-hum.

So for fun, I gave myself a little assignment: 5 ways to dress up and personalize a basic, store-bought evergreen wreath.
The first thing I did was to give my wreath a bit of a haircut. As you can see, it was looking a bit like a shaggy dog! You could barely see through the centre.
The first design I came up with was themed on birds and the color blue.
My next idea was to use a mix of fruit and berries to add a little pop of color to all that green.
I think roses are a lovely holiday flower. This wreath combines white roses with red berries.
My third wreath is inspired by the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song that has the refrain "and a partridge in a pear tree".
Okay, this probably isn't a partridge, but it is close enough.
I thought that my final wreath should have a garden theme- my blog is a garden blog after all- so I decided to do a red ladybug wreath with a pretty plaid bow.
For a materials list and detailed instructions on how to make these wreaths, please visit my blog called "Three Dogs in a Garden".
