Since moving to our home last spring, I’ve wanted to make a wreath for our front door–something organic and simple that reflects the rest of our home. So when my sister called earlier this week and asked if I wanted to make holiday wreaths together, I answered wholeheartedly, “yes!” A wreath seemed the perfect way to begin gathering this cozy holiday season into our home. We loaded the kids into the car and snipped a few branches from nearby trees, made hot chocolate, and got to work. It really was a very simple project, something easy enough for kids to help with or create on their own. I used 8-10 branches for my own wreath made with standard-sized hangers, and the entire project took under an hour (minus the branch-gathering)–a reasonable afternoon holiday project. Enjoy!

This is great! I’ve actually been wondering how to do one of these…I wish we lived near more natural greenery, it’s a bit more difficult for me to go foraging for green branches, but maybe I could snip a few clippings from our tree??? It’s lovely and goes so well with all the images you share of your simple, natural home!
Thank you so much, Gabrielle! I’m sure you could make something beautiful with Christmas tree clippings. If you have a fir tree, I’d maybe plan to use a few more branches. Have fun!
I had my hubby go in the timber and cut me some branches to do this! It was on my to-do list today!!! Beautiful!
So exciting! It really is such a fun and easy family project. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, Liz. x
Oh I love these. So simple and beautiful! And I love that you made them yourself. Mine is pretty and simple but the lovely people at Trader Joe’s made mine ;)
Thank you, Bri. My sister and I were remarking if we had a TJ nearby, we would have spent the $10 to buy their lovely wreath, too. I’m glad it worked out this way. I learned something new! xo
