When it comes to Christmas decorations, your outdoor holiday display is just as important as the ones you hang up inside. Christmas wreaths are a classic and easy way to instantly up the ante when it comes to your Holiday trimmings. Whether you spend an afternoon crafting a DIY Christmas wreath or opt for a store-bought option (or maybe just order one online!), we guarantee there is at least one door decoration on our list that will match you home's current decor and style.

Take a look at the organic-looking beauties decorated with eucalyptus, pine, earthy flowers, and dried fruit. We also love the more whimsical, playful wreaths (like a one decorated to the nines with tiny disco balls, one that uses Christmas gift bows to make a statement, and another that's made of wrapping paper - waste not, want not!). No matter what you're looking for, we know you'll feel inspired and motivated to create your own winter wonderland vignette after browsing through our list of favorite wreath projects.

And if you're hosting friends and family over the holidays, don't miss our very best Christmas party theme ideas, favorite Christmas appetizers, go-to Christmas desserts. They are guaranteed to keep the oohs and ahhs coming after everyone has admired your wreath and headed inside for drinks, snacks, and maybe a full holiday meal! Here's to excellent first impressions and an even better holiday season!

Felt Leaf Wreath

To make: Cut felt leaves from varying shades of green felt. Pinch one end of leaves and hot-glue in place; this will give the leaves dimension. Attach pinched ends of leaves to a wooden craft ring with hot-glue.
