Make a natural Christmas wreath to hang in each window and secure it with a ribbon.


Use smaller wreaths as napkins rings or table card holders. So festive and inviting for guests! Hang gorgeous outdoor wreaths on your fences for a holiday touch. You can also hang wreaths on top of your mirrors in your house. As long as it’s one you don’t use too often - this is such a pretty look though. Simply secure them with a ribbon. DIY wreaths can also be used on tables as candle centerpieces. Simply lay them down and insert a candle holder in the middle - simple and elegant and inexpensive! Wreaths can be hung on bookcases and over your bed too. Get creative and add some holiday cheer to each room.
