Christmas on the Homefront - DIY Holiday Wreath
Homefront Team Member Camelot's Treasures is sharing a special DIY tutorial on making a special Holiday Wreath for your family! Be sure to check out her lovely handmade doll clothes at her shop on your next visit to Etsy.
After so many moves the past few years, our family Christmas wreath wasn't able to stand up to all the packing and unpacking. So this year, the kids and I decided we were going to try our hand at making our own wreath. After several hours scouring over inspirational ideas on Pinterest and getting overwhelmed with all the different ways, we decided the best way to go about it was to just jump in and get our hands dirty. Maybe we can even inspire you a little for your very own wreath - and we only spent about $5!
 |
| DIY Holiday Wreath Tutorial from Camelot's Treasures |
 |
| Our choices abounded! |
The day before I pulled out the decorations, I purchased a Styrofoam wreath from Walmart that cost us about $5. It's the 12 or 14 inch one. (That was the only thing I actually payed for for this entire project.)
After we went through all of our stuff, we came up with several feet of green garland and several little decorations.
We hot glued the end of the garland to one spot and just started wrapping until we felt that our wreath was at a satisfactory plushness. This is definitely an opinion - you can do more or less, just make sure you cover all of the wreath so you can't see the white (or whatever color your wreath is). I think we used about 3 yards of garland.

| He's having fun wrapping the wreath, can't you tell? |
 |
| Here's the fullness we achieved on our wreath. |
Next, we did a dry run on the placement of our chosen decorations. Be sure that you get it to look the way you want before you attach them with hot glue or twist ties. We used a glue gun, partly because I <3 my glue gun, partly because my 6 year old thinks it's the coolest craft tool I own, but mostly because it was readily available.
 |
| We "debated" strategic placement of all the decorations. |
After about an hour and a half of creating, we had made our self this pretty wreath. We were pretty satisfied! I even added a little dangle that hung in the middle of the wreath, using 3 ornaments and a little string knotted around the top of the wreath. The "hanger" is just a pretty ribbon we found at the Dollar Tree, tied around the top of the wreath, and tied in a bow at the top.

| Viola! A Wreath Creation! |
Here are some easy tips on how to plan your OWN Holiday Wreath:
1. Get wreath form (you can get these at any craft or hobby department or store)
2. Check out your stash of decorations - you never know what you can use up!
3. Use natural accents - pine cones, twigs, acorns, etc are all around you; take advantage of these cheap decorations!
4. Enlist your whole family to help make your creation.
5. Set aside a couple of hours to plan and create your project.
6. Have fun - this wreath may only cost a few bucks, but it will be a priceless addition to your holiday decorations!
