DIY WINTER
WREATHS
Fa la la la la! And what better way to get into that festive
feeling than to break out the hot glue sticks and colorful felt?
Well, perhaps some cocoa and carols, but that’s only half the
fun! Not only is it time for crafting, but it’s time for festive
winter crafting! After all, one doesn’t need decorations to be
strictly “Christmasy”, especially when the Christmas season
is so short (seriously, it’s way too short!) So, to get those
creative, wintry juices fl owing like eggnog in your favorite
Christmas mug, it’s time to consider, drum roll please,
WREATHS!
Natural/Neutral Colors
One of the many reasons why winter is so loved is often
because of the changes in nature that it brings. Depending
on where you live, there’s the bright white snow, colorful
cardinals, and the brown of trees.
Brown? Yes, brown. A color that is typically present no
matter the season! What can you do with brown, and all
it’s glorious earthy shades? A lot! How about some burlap,
that’s always so rustic and chic? Maybe a few brown buttons
scattered throughout. Or even a wreath of pine cones, or nuts!
There are plenty of brown animals that exist for more than
one season as well!
And you don’t have to just stick with brown, of course. Other
neutral tones, such as tan, white and off-whites, can look
amazing as well! Perhaps some cream colored fl owers on a
soft, dusty brown back drop? Or even beige with a several
softly colored fl owers of greens, pinks, and blues?
Perhaps you’d rather go even more natural, and use small
sticks and little branches to set the frame of your wreath, with
a pair of nesting birds adorning it? Even a few feathers can
tie the look together! Of course, brown isn’t the only neutral
color there is in nature.
How about a misty blue? A pale green? Maybe off set with
little baubles of gold and silver?
Break the Mold!
Maybe you’re tired of the same old circle design. Have you
considered, perhaps, a SQUARE shaped wreath? Or a star? A
heart? Even an oval can be just enough splash of differences
to really make your heart sing! You can even stick with
circles; try stacking a few of them wrapped in white to create
the cutest little snowman there ever was! Sure, the defi nition
of the word “wreath” is something round like a ring, but it’s
2018 and more than high time to shake it up a little!
Removable Decor
Perhaps you already have a simple wreath that’s perfect for
all seasons. Great!
