15 DIY Winter Wreaths

Yarn Wreath

There’s nothing simpler than wrapping a styrofoam wreath form in a festive winter adornment (think: silk ribbon, faux greenery, or ombre yarn) and calling it a day. Don’t forget to finish things off with a big bow, which as a bonus, camouflages an easy hanging hook.

Burlap Wreath

For a rustic-chic take on a winter wreath, opt for neutral burlap and pine needles. Scavenge a couple of pine cones and sprigs of green from the backyard to make sure this wreath captures that home-for-the-holidays coziness.

Grapevine Wreath

Start with a grapevine wreath -- the natural, organic shape of grapevines allow for a truly unique, homespun wreath that captures the beauty of a farmhouse winter. Don’t be too precious when adding greens and embellishment to this wreath; the more free-flowing and loose your artistry on this one, the better.

Layered Paper Wreath

Calling all paper crafters! Cut dozens of leaves, curl, and apply to a foam or wire wreath form for a striking, unique piece of holiday decor. The best part about paper crafting? You can fully customize your project to match your home’s decor and aesthetic and unlike fresh greens, this wreath will last for years and years.

Wreath with Bells

Welcome holiday guests with fragrant greens and the sound of jingling bells with this cozy little wreath. For the most wintry vibe, coat a few sprigs of pine with spray-on faux frost (available at most craft stores) to give the illusion of just-frozen, snow-touched foliage.

Pom Pom Wreath

Get a little whimsical this holiday season: create a wreath out of fuzzy, cute pom-poms. There are limitless possibilities here; try a monochromatic color scheme for a modern, artistic take, or opt for rainbow hues to bring some color into your holiday decor.

Dried Flower Wreath

Pretty enough to be hung all year long, this winter wreath makes innovative use of grapevine and dried flowers. Stick to a single color of leaves and blooms for the most striking effect.

Pro tip: leave a section of the wreath bare -- the incomplete floral circle lends an organic aesthetic to this creative piece of decor.

Minimalist Gold Wreath

Source a gold-toned hoop to start this project (think: macrame rings, thick gauge craft wire, or an old photo frame). Embellish the gold ring with silk flowers and leaves, but leave this piece uncrowded for a clean, contemporary look that's the perfect addition to a modern home.

Book Page Wreath

If you have a couple of copies of a favorite novel laying around (bonus points if you select a book with a cold-weather setting), tear a handful of pages from it to create a non-traditional book page wreath. Dipping the ends of each page in a contrasting color paint helps add dimension and interest.

Multi Plaid Wreath

Get mad for plaid this holiday season and create your own power-clashing, patterned wreath. Visit a second-hand store to source a couple of varieties of plaid fabric (button-down shirts work especially well). Gather plaids with a common color or two to ensure a cohesive finished look.

White and Gold Floral Wreath

For a seasonal wreath that pops against a pastel-colored front door, opt for a completely light and neutral color scheme. Shades of white flowers work perfectly, but don’t hesitate to make things truly pop with pretty shiny metallic accents.

Oversized Hula Hoop Wreath

If your household always goes big for the holidays, this oversized paper version is the wreath project for you. Start with a hula hoop as a base, and decorate to your tastes. Paper embellishment is perfect here -- it’s lightweight and is easily adhered with hot glue.

Velvet Wreath

Textural interest can make even the most homemade accent pieces look expensive, so reach for the velvet this winter to make a luxe seasonal wreath. Don’t forget to secure everything to the underside of the wreath form so your finished product looks polished and professional.

Eucalyptus Wreath

For a Victorian-inspired holiday look, try a wreath made from fragrant greens (Eucalyptus is a great option) and accented with a simple black velvet bow. Use fresh greenery in this piece; it’ll only last a season but the aroma will fill your hearth (and you’ll be able to redesign every year ensuring timely, trendy holiday decor).

Iridescent Wreath

If your holiday decorations tend toward vibrant, sparkly, and a little retro, try an iridescent, textured wreath to set that most-magical-time-of-year tone. This is one project that’s definitely not subtle, so don't be afraid to hit it with extra glitter at every opportunity.
