4 Gorgeous DIY Holiday Wreaths

One of our favorite things about the holidays is how inspired we become to DIY holiday décor. We love browsing cute holiday home décor in stores this time of year, but also enjoy crafting special pieces to display. We're not talking about faux greenery wreaths intended to last the whole month long—but instead, beautiful creations that use fresh flowers and will add a special touch to your home décor.

The greenery used for these wreaths included two different types of eucalyptus, three different kinds of pine and fresh, blooming rosemary. First you'll want to add enough greenery to the wire base until you can no longer see the frame. You can make your DIY wreath as full or as simple as you’d like.

You can use the same method to attach the flowers as you did for the greenery on the wreath base: Simply work the stems of your flowers into the greenery and tie down with small pieces of floral wire (or floral tape). Some of the flowers used, like the garden roses and peonies, didn’t have strong enough stems to tie down with wire. So, for these, try a glue gun.

When you’ve completed your wreath, be sure to spritz it with fresh water, and give it one more spray an hour before having people over for the holidays.
