56 DIY Christmas Wreaths to Give Your Guests the Prettiest Welcome
Deck your doors with these easy wreath ideas.
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.

Felt Leaf Wreath
Splashes of green will add colorful charm to a front door. Use red felt for a few leaves or add a few small red ornaments for a added splash of holiday cheer.

Yarn Ball Wreath
Colorful and soft, what's not to delight in in this holiday stunner. To save from having to buy tons of yarn, wrap Styrofoam balls in yarn.
Tartan Time!
Whether you have a plain wreath or one that made from lot of elements, an oversized bow with perfectly twirled ends adds just the right amount of bling.
Nature at Its Best
A wreath adorned with dried orange slices, pine cones, red berries, cinnamon sticks, and a scattering of ornaments makes for a seasonally appropriate over the top door decor.
