DIY Festive Evergreen Holiday Wreath on a Budget

It's simple to create beautiful holiday wreaths for a fraction of the cost of upscale, more-expesnive, pre-made wreaths! DIY tutorial included.
Materials:
Cut pieces of assorted greens about 6” long.
Tie bow, wire to frame at base of wreath.
This second version was even less expensive, yet looks a lot like the expensive pre-made wreaths you can find at the arts and crafts chain stores. This one started with a $3.97 pre-made wreath from the local big box store. The recipient was looking for something with a bit more “glitz” so I use faux poinsettias with glittered petals, silver poinsettias, white berries, smaller glittered red berries with grasses, and sparkling white plastic snowflake ornaments - all of which came from the dollar store. Each stem was trimmed to about 4” and wired to the base of the wreath itself. The snowflake ornaments were also wired to the base. The bow is made with snowman pattern ribbon which also came from the dollar store. The total cost for this wreath was about $9.
