Want to get super creative with your homemade wreath this year? There’s nothing more unique than hanging an intricate felt ruffle wreath on your front door.
Not to mention, the ruffles also mimic the pattern of a bouquet of roses. Hence, this beautiful wreath idea also doubles as a romantic decoration for Valentine’s Day.
To make the wreath, you’ll need a rotary cutter like this one here. It’s just a good thing to have when crafting.
Also, stock up on those pins because you’ll need a bunch for this wreath. Unfortunately, that also means that you should not make this wreath with kids.
It’s probably a better craft to make with a teen.
8. DIY Wreath with Live Greens
There’s something special about the simplistic beauty of a live wreath. But the price tag for a live wreath… isn’t as appealing.
Fortunately, you can easily construct your own live wreath out of your favorite holiday greens and a metal wreath form. To make your life a lot easier, I suggest investing in a pair of wire cutters like these ones here.
Trust me, they come in handy!
