Easy Holiday Decorating: Wreaths!

Nothing says holidays are here like a wreath on your door! Ranging from classic to modern, there are so many styles of wreaths available and they can really set the tone for the rest of your holiday decorations. Here are some of my favorite holiday wreaths! 

How sweet the holidays will be with this fun candy wreath! 

Jingle all the way! This wreath made with jingle bells is a treat for the eyes and ears! 

This may be one of my favorites, and it's easy to make using thumb tacks! I may just have to try it this year!

Always classic and beautiful. This wreath will never go out of style.

Another festive idea is to use not just one wreath, not even two wreaths, or three, but to make a whole wreath wall! Group several different wreaths of varying sizes and even materials onto one wall. This will make a huge impact in your room and be so festive and fun! 

 

Like in the photo, you can use the same material for all wreaths and just vary the sizes and the details of each. Another option would be to use wreaths made of all different materials. In this case, I would keep them all about the same size and hang them more uniformly to keep it from looking scattered. 
Whatever wreath you choose, its always a good idea to hang it with a gorgeous holiday ribbon. This just adds one final layer of care and holiday cheer! Happy Holidays!

Wicked Wreaths!

I met a woman the other day who said she loves Halloween but doesn't have much time to decorate. She asked me what she could do to the front of her house that was simple, cute and provided holiday spirit. My answer was to decorate like Christmas- a few string lights and a wreath! Sometimes we only associate wreaths with the December holiday but I am seeing more and more Halloween wreaths in stores and hanging on front doors. Below are a few examples:









In order from top to bottom: Monster Wreath from craftster.com, a Musty Wreath from Marthastewart.com, A black cedar wreath from Grandinroad.com and a classic black ribbon wreath from thelongthread.com.

You can find wicked wreaths in almost any Halloween store these days. With a few of the links to tutorials above, you can also make your own!

Happy Haunting!
