5 Frugal Christmas Projects: How To Make A Christmas Wreath

Step 1: Go outside and cut a few branches off a tree.  I chose to took clippings from a Leland Cypress tree growing in my front yard.  Also, if you have  a Holly bush nearby, clip a few sprigs off that too.  You will also need a wreath form and some fine gardening wire.

Step 2: Secure garden wire to wreath form by simply tying a knot.

Step 3: Place 2-3 sprigs on the wreath form and wrap the garden wire around the base of the springs to secure the greens.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 until you have successfully covered the entire form with greens.

Step 5: Your wreath should look something like this.  I am not going to say it should look EXACTLY like this because artist freedom is encouraged.

Step 6: Carefully trim the base of 3 sprigs of Holly.

Step 7: Insert Holly pieces beneath the wreath greens and into the wreath form if possible.

Step 8: Pull an ornament off your Christmas tree and secure it (using a small piece of garden wire) to the top portion of your wreath.

Step 9: Hang the wreath on your front door and patiently wait for your Handsome Husband to come home and say… Why can’t we buy a real freakin wreath from Costco like everyone else?
