DIY: 5 Natural Holiday Wreaths

Holiday décor is not complete without a wreath. Instead of going out and buying a wreath, check out some of these natural wreaths that you can make on your own.

Feijoa Christmas Wreath

Feijoa's are the perfect flowers to make a wreath because they add a little red, green, and silver to the décor. Best of all feijoa wreaths add a little to joy to otherwise dreary weather. For more on Feijoa Christmas wreaths visit Rummage.

Orange Pine Cone Wreath

Add a little zest to your holiday décor while still creating an elegant element. Collect pine ones from your yard, dry some orange slices in the oven, add them to a garland wreath and voila! In less time than it takes to buy a wreath, you have made your own unique and natural holiday decor. For more information visit Delia Creates.

Twig Wreath

If minimalist is more your style, then a twig wreath is right up your alley. The next time you find yourself pruning in the garden, take the twigs and turn them into a simple yet elegant wreath. For more information visit A Foothill Home Companion.

Living Plant Wreath

Liven up your home and your senses with a beautiful living plant wreath. If you find yourself just slightly bored with the traditional evergreen wreath, add some living flowers and plants from your garden. The living plant wreath will fit so seamlessly with the home décor that you can keep it up well past New Year's. For instructions and plant suggestions visit Apartment Therapy.

Herb Wreath

Another simple yet elegant option is an herb wreath. Use your favorite herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley to bring a little spice to your wreath. Top it off with a fabric bow and you've got yourself a tantalizing wreath that can stay up all year round. Visit All About You for step-by-step instructions.
