14 DIY Winter Wreaths to Make Your Home More Festive

Bird and Nature Wreath

Check out the faux foliage at your local craft store for inspiration. This pretty DIY winter wreath features birds, feathers, and faux pussy willows tucked into a pinecone wreath, creating a pretty decoration that takes you into early spring.

Pom Pom Wreath

This DIY wreath idea is seasonless—just choose the perfect color combo of pom poms to match the rest of your decor, then hot glue them to a wreath base.

Gold Leaf Wreath

A can of metallic spray paint is all it takes to transform a classic magnolia-leaf wreath into a showstopper. Pluck out a few leaves, coat them in shimmery copper, and—once they're dry—disperse them throughout. Add a long bow for more impact.

Herb Wreath

Easy, great-smelling, and functional, this simple DIY wreath might be your new decorating go-to year after year. All you need is a wreath frame, fresh herbs, floral wire, and ribbon, but the final result looks like a million bucks.

Snow-Dusted Pinecone Wreath

Start with a white-washed pinecone wreath, then give it a little extra dimension by attaching unpainted cones (use hot glue or floral wire to attach). Sprigs of red berries provide a burst of color.

Flower and Fruit Wreath

Amaryllis, pomegranates, and tiny orchids come together for a magnificent special-occasion wreath that's easier to make than it looks—perfect for a big, splashy greeting at your holiday party. You'll take a branch wreath frame, fresh pomegranates, evergreen branches, blooms, and orchids. Connect all the pieces with floral wire.

Citrus Wreath

Instead of the traditional evergreen, try a homemade wreath of citrus fruits. Start with a circular piece of florist's foam, then use wooden florist's picks to secure large items, such as oranges, first. Continue with smaller fruit―kumquats, clementines, limes. Tie with a thick velvet ribbon.

Feather and Foliage Wreath

Incorporate dried eucalyptus, feathers, and other foliage to create a wild and wonderful display on a faux wreath. With dried or artificial pieces, this can become a DIY wreath you pull out year after year.

Succulent Wreath

This all-green wreath is made from scratch, but you can also start with a store-bought wreath and add succulents. A smaller version makes a beautiful centerpiece placed on the table, with votives in the center.

Start with a wire wreath frame and add spruce, olive, eucalyptus, manzanita, and Berzelia branches. Finish with echeveria succulents for a gorgeous living wreath. Follow our complete DIY guide for making a fresh succulent wreath, including a video and step-by-step instructions.

White Winter Wreath

With a bit of spray paint, you can transform a wreath into something befitting a winter wonderland. Pick up a generic wreath (we used a pinecone option) and spray paint it at home. (You may want to do a few coats to make sure everything is covered.) If desired, tuck in a few colorful accents for contrast.

Everlasting Floral Wreath

Decorate a eucalyptus wreath with paper flowers. They'll never die—or even wilt—so you'll have a long-lasting, year-round wreath. Stick with one color palette to keep it cohesive, or mix it up for a more festive look.

Star Gazer Wreath

Start with a boxwood wreath and attach shiny celestial cutouts. (You can make your own or buy them at a craft store.) A small-to-large arrangement across the lower two-thirds of the wreath gives the impression of shooting stars.

Earthy Organic Wreath

Dress up a grapevine wreath base with rose hips, real flowers, and fresh fruit. (This wreath won't last forever, so plan to make it just before you expect visitors or have a nice family meal planned.) Go with botanicals that dry nicely, like hydrangeas and amaranthus, and include a few small quinces.

Boho Wreath

Group a few succulents asymmetrically around an artificial (or real!) wreath for a modern effect.
