Christmas Wreaths FAQ
If you’re looking to deck the halls without breaking the bank, here’s how to create cheap and easy Christmas wreaths that look like a million bucks:
Gather Your Supplies: Instead of splurging on expensive crafting materials, use natural elements, repurpose items from your home, or go to a dollar store for basic supplies. Find a plain wreath form or DIY one from a cardboard cutout or a wire coat hanger. Find evergreen branches, pinecones, or other natural supplies from your backyard, or pick up some faux greenery for cheap at Dollar Tree. Use floral wire, zip ties, or even twist ties from your kitchen drawer to secure everything in place.
Attach your greenery and natural elements like pinecones to the wreath form. If you’re using fresh branches, layer them around the form and fix them with your wire or ties, ensuring they overlap to cover the base entirely. Faux greenery from the dollar store can be just as effective and reusable year after year!
Add Some Decorations: Use what you have on hand, or find inexpensive dollar-store decorations like floral picks, berry sprays, ornaments, and ribbons. Arrange them artistically around your wreath, and attach them securely. When you are done, hang it with a ribbon or strip of burlap.
With a little creativity and some savvy shopping or scavenging, you’ve crafted a holiday decoration that’s both budget-friendly and beautiful.

I am 75 and still like making some some of those projects. They are fun to make and give as gifts to family or a friend. Keep up the good work. I will keep making good memories from your projects this way we both are very happy.
Dorothy Martin says
Love this. I’m in my 70’s and was a girl scout leader for many many years. Some of these we made as gifts or fund raiser projects. Thanks for the Happy Memories.
