Handmade Wreaths

As we all spend more time at home, adding handmade wreaths are a quick and easy way to update doors and walls to reflect the new season.

I have a number of wreaths I have used over the years to easily update my home decor. The largest one is a wild grapevine wreath that hangs on my front porch. This time of year, I enjoy collecting flowers and greenery to give the wreath a fresh look. My favorite find so far is a birds nest.

No need to get so complicated. A seasonal wreath can be as simple as this fall-colored wreath I found at a local thrift shop.

When I think of fall, I think of the orange and green tones of Halloween and the bounty of Thanksgiving so this wreath should work well until Christmas. The berry-like wreath needs something on the left where it’s sparse - not much into ribbons but that would be the quick fix or maybe something dried would work such as little bundle of pinecones. Half the fun is trying to come up with something new!

Now these handmade wreaths do not need to be complicated, sometimes simpler is better.

Simple wreaths can also be an easy way to update a room or door.
