I love the idea of this door wreath but am not crafty enough to make it. I’m also excited to get feedback on the monochromatic white, using a pop of color
Anybody is crafty enough to make that wreath! Unbend a wire coat hanger and reshape into a circle. You make need to squeeze sections with pliers to straighten out the original bends. Then go the the Everything is a Dollar store and buy bouquets of fake roses. Cut them apart with wire snips and leave enough wire to make a small loop right under the flower on each one. Slide them down the wire, voila! You CAN do it, just try :)
There are so many projects on here to help you get it right. I agree with Trudy, Dollar story is a cheap way to figure it out. If you don't like it, usually you just need to add more decor.

Add a bow of your liking. Your last name initial. Hang it from the top w/a pretty pastel ribbon. Look at pictures of wreaths to get ideas, etc. Happy craftin!
At the top of the Hometalk page you can enter "wreaths" in the What is your next project? box. Lots and lots of posts will come up to show you how people made various wreaths. Have fun!
Also, instead of a coat hanger wire, use a Styrofoam wreath form that you can get at most dollar stores, and then cutting the roses off the stems, leave enough to just push them into the Styrofoam. Put a ribbon wreath on the bottom, and you're done.
Dollar store items make experimenting affordable! Easy to learn. When using the wreath form, place the largest items first, then the medium, and fill in with the small. Hang the wreath, step back and decide where the bow looks best.

Here are 15 different wreaths you can make. I think monochromatic white with just a pop of color would look fine, particularly if you have a dark colored door.
