My requirements for any DIY project are cheap and easy. And, this one is both. I have a few of the standard fuax evergreen wreaths that I’ve collected over the years. And while there’s nothing wrong them, there’s not a whole lot that’s right with them either. A quick Walmart run and $20 later, I was set.

People who know me will tell you how much I dislike fake flowers! But, I have to admit they’ve come a long way! My tip-if your using fakes invest in an assortment of greenery in various shades and textures. It makes the arrangement look much more authentic. Anyway, I got a few different types of greenery, berries, one large cabbage rose, a spray of anemones and some glitter branches(of course!) and went to work.

Don’t be afraid to deconstruct the bunches! It makes them easier to work with and they look more authentic when you use stems instead of a huge bunch.

I had some florist wire on standby but found it unnecessary. The stems were long enough to weave throughout the wreath. When I need something to stay in place I simply wrapped one of the evergreen “branches” around it and fluffed it out to fill in any holes.

Start to finish, the project took about 30 minutes including the time I spent trying to remember where I put the wreath hanger last year, you know because in a box with the rest of decorations is far too logical of a place for it! And I’m pretty happy with the results!

Happy Holidays!
