Is there anything more fun than getting your home ready for the holidays? A Christmas wreath is like a friendly smile for your front door, setting the tone with holiday vibes. Instead of buying one off the shelf, why not try making one yourself? These five easy DIY Christmas wreath ideas will get you in a festive mood and make your door stand out.
Classic Evergreen Wreath
Nothing says Christmas quite like the smell of fresh evergreens. This timeless wreath is a must-have for those who love a traditional holiday vibe.
What You’ll Need:
- A wreath frame (wire or foam works great)
- Fresh evergreen branches (like pine, fir, or cedar)
- Floral wire
- Ribbon for a bow
- Optional: pinecones, berries, or small ornaments
How to Make It:
- Start by gathering small bundles of evergreen branches. Lay them out in your preferred order.
- Attach the first bundle to your wreath frame using floral wire, wrapping tightly so it’s secure.
- Overlap the next bundle slightly, covering the stems of the first. Repeat until the entire frame is covered.
- Add any extra decorations like pinecones, berries, or ornaments using hot glue or more floral wire.
- Finish with a big festive bow and hang it on your door.
Rustic Burlap Wreath
For a cozy, farmhouse-style vibe, a rustic burlap wreath is just the ticket. It’s charming, simple, and oh-so-cute!
What You’ll Need:
- A wire wreath frame
- Burlap ribbon (about 20-30 feet, depending on the size of your frame)
- Floral wire or twist ties
- Optional: pinecones, faux berries, second holiday-themed ribbon, or a wooden holiday sign
How to Make It:
- Secure one end of the burlap ribbon to the wreath frame using floral wire.
- Loop the ribbon through each section of the frame, twisting as you go to create a poufy effect. Don’t worry about making it perfect, it’s supposed to look natural.
- Continue looping and adjusting until the entire frame is covered. Secure the end of the ribbon with wire.
- Embellish the wreath with pinecones, berries, or a festive sign. Attach them using hot glue or wire.
Candy Cane Wreath
What’s sweeter than a wreath inspired by everyone’s favorite holiday treat? This candy cane wreath is playful, bold, and sure to stand out.
What You’ll Need:
- A candy cane-shaped wire wreath frame (or a standard round frame if that’s what you have)
- Red and white ribbon (or fabric strips)
- Hot glue gun
- Optional: mini candy canes, faux peppermint candies, or glittery accents
How to Make It
- If you’re using a candy cane-shaped frame, wrap alternating stripes of red and white ribbon around the entire frame, securing with hot glue as you go.
- For a round frame, create a similar striped effect by layering the ribbons diagonally.
- Add decorations like mini candy canes, faux peppermint candies, or sparkly accents for a whimsical touch.
- Finish with a cute bow and hang it up to spread some sugary cheer!
Ornament Wreath
Got a box of old ornaments lying around? This wreath is the perfect way to upcycle them into something fabulous.
What You’ll Need:
- A foam or wire wreath frame
- Shatterproof ornaments in various sizes and colors
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon for hanging
How to Make It:
- Start by gluing your largest ornaments to the frame. This will create the base layer.
- Fill in the gaps with medium and small ornaments, mixing colors and sizes for a fun, textured look.
- Keep adding ornaments until the entire frame is covered.
- Tie a ribbon to the top of the wreath and hang it up.

What You’ll Need:
- A metal or hoop wreath frame
- Eucalyptus branches (fresh or faux)
- Floral wire
- Minimal decorations like a small bow or a few ornaments
- Optional: Metallic spray paint
How to Make It:
- Lightly spray-paint the eucalyptus branches in gold or silver if you want a metallic touch. Let them dry completely.
