Decorating the house is one of my favorite things about the holidays. This year I decided to be a bit adventurous and make my own winter DIY holiday wreath. I was able to whip this up in about 20 minutes – and it was my first attempt! Read on to see how you can make one for yourself.
Make a DIY holiday wreath in just 20 minutes!
With fresh cedar greenery and bright red pyracantha berries, this gorgeously simple wreath will brighten your front door. Or you can hang it inside and enjoy the smell all season!
Supplies Needed
- wreath form
- floral wire
- pruning sheers
- greenery for base (I used cedar)
- berries (I used Pyracantha)
- ribbon
Instructions
Step 1
Trim your greenery into smaller sections and make small bundles. When the bundle is thick enough to cover the wreath form you have enough!
Step 2
Play with the shape and position of your bundles before securing tightly with wire. You won’t cut the wire until the wreath is complete. Move in small patches and have your greenery all face the same direction.
Step 3
Clip the wire when complete and twist until tight and secure.
Step 4
Clip small berry clusters and tuck into the wire already around your wreath. If wire is too tight, secure berries with a new piece of wire.
Step 5
Add a ribbon and hang!
Will you be making or hanging a DIY holiday wreath this season? There’s still time to make this multi-use wreath, this eucalyptus wreath or this asymmetrical wreath!

Just found you and already am in love with your site.
The first project I plan on making within the next couple of days is the mouse pad. I’m thinking of perhaps putting a picture of my grand-kids on one side and my animals on the other side.
Thank you for this great idea and getting my imagination in gear. 🙂

Why can’t I print this?
