The 5 Minute Christmas Wreath
We are taking it back to my roots today. Did you guys know that long before I ever had a blog, or used a saw, or even knew Pinterest was a thing (when exactly did it become a “thing?”), I made my own wreaths? Looking back, I guess this was my first dabble into the DIY world. It all started with this Christmas wreath. It was like a giant glitter ball.
But as much as I love building, I still like to go back to the beginning sometimes and make a new wreath. And this year’s Christmas wreath is the easiest one I think I’ve ever made. It literally took me 5 minutes to put it together. And, to be honest, it looks better than most of the EXPENSIVE wreaths I’ve seen at the stores so far this season.
But, seriously, DIY wreaths almost ALWAYS look better than store bought…unless you want to pay $100 for the good ones. In full disclosure, this one cost me about $30. Mmmm hmmm. So let me show you how it’s done so you can make your own this year, too :)

The full tutorial can be found at the blog link below, but you will need the supplies in the picture above. Some greenery and berries and a bow or ribbon to make your own bow (I'll show you how in the link below!).
You will shove the items into the wreath form and fluff them out a little.
Then attach the bow. There are all sorts of styles of bows you could use. In the link below, I show you how I made mine. I attached some jingle bells, and a little chalkboard. Here's a sneak peek:
