Time to decorate for the holidays? We are going to show you how to turn a $17 wreath into a $170 work of art!
As the years pass, I seem to get more and more excited about decorating for the holidays. Now that the kids are older I have much more time to dedicate to my seasonal decor. Each year, I purchase wreaths and other miscellaneous items from Scouts of America in an effort to both support the organization and make my holiday decorating that much easier.
A few years ago, when I was really busy with work, I did not have time to decorate for the holidays, so I hired a talented floral designer. She embellished the wreaths I purchased, as well as my window boxes and porch flower pots. She did an amazing job! However, since I have been off on medical leave for a while I had the time to do it myself and save a little money decorating myself for the holidays.
I have both written a tutorial (below) and created a video to illustrate the method I use to create fabulous looking wreaths for very low cost. Next up, the flower boxes and pots but I have to wait until it is not snowing!! How are you going to decorate your home for the holidays?
Tools and materials needed:
30″ real wreath (with or without pine cones, or any size you would prefer)
Boxwood branches
Curly willow branches
Eucalyptus branches
Pine tree branches
Arborvitae branches
Holiday ornamental balls
Floral wire
Nippers for cutting the branches and floral wire
Wire rimmed ribbon
Your wreath is gorgeous… I just love the colors!
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! Happy holidays <3
