One of the most popular decorations during winter is certainly the door wreath. It is the perfect way to add some interesting decor outside the house, plus it doesn’t take too much space or money – especially if you do it yourself.
In this article, we share ten DIY wreaths that will definitely contribute to making your home a winter wonderland, at least from the outside! They are very easy projects and some of them you can even make together with your children. Have fun!
1. Winter Wreath with Coat Hanger and Ping Pong Balls
Ping pong balls can actually be useful when it comes to winter wreaths! In fact, they can be such a nice detail between all the other elements. If you like this wreath, you’ll need a power drill or awl tool (be careful with these!), metal pliers, white florist wire, white florist tape, coat hanger, artificial baby’s breath or similar wispy flower, white ping pong balls, 2/3 yard of wide ribbon, scissors and hot glue gun (optional).
2. Berry Wreath

One of the things that really remind us of winter and holidays is exactly the berries. They can be seen so often to store-bought decorations, so why not use them for your homemade wreath as well? You will need a basic grapevine wreath, berry stems, and fake leaves. You can also add a burlap or Christmas ribbon.
3. Natural Wreath
As natural as it can be and without too many decorations on it, this wreath has a large grapevine for a base that is spray painted with gold spray paint. It has one coat, but if you want to make it more golden, add a few more coats. You can tuck faux branches and secure them with fishing wire. To add a rustic feeling, glue pinecones to the wreath.
4. Red Winter Wreath

5. Winter Greenery Wreath
A very expensive-looking wreath that you can make easily at home! You need long nose pliers with a wire cutter and wreath hanger from tools, while the materials you need to make this wonderful winter wreath are the following – a work wreath form, greenery, and decor picks, plain 9 ft. garland, and floral wire.

6. Burlap Wreath
This wreath is the perfect combination of burlap, greenery, and pinecones. All three materials really match the Christmas atmosphere, and they can even add a little rustic touch as well.
