Modern DIY Wooden Christmas Wreath!

Christmas.  Without a doubt, it is my most favourite time of the year!  And while life throws you curveballs (mom is still in the hospital), you look towards the fun times to get you through those rough times.

Modern DIY Wooden Christmas Wreath!

While I hadn’t written in a long while because of mom’s health issues, I decided to join some very creative bloggers for a “Deck the Home Blog Hop”!  We’ll be sharing a themed Christmas post every week and this week’s theme is “Door Decor”.  I’ve shared my project below but be sure to check out all of the creative talent in the link-up below!  If you’re not inspired to break out the glue gun, I don’t know what it will take 😉

Now my door decor project, a modern take on a Christmas wreath, changed so many times that I don’t have all of the pictures displaying what I did.  I originally was going to use yarn with a wooden circle overlay but when put into practice, I hated it.  As I started playing around with it, I then found a configuration I liked.  Finally!

Materials

This wreath is extremely simple to make.  And it delivers very chic results in my opinion!

You’ll need:

• A Wooden Circle (mine is from Walmart and it was about $7)
• Glue Gun
• Ornaments
• Ribbon
• Paint and Paint Brushes
• Bonus Points:  A Cricut machine that can do some amazing vinyl lettering

Getting Started

1) My outdoor Christmas colour scheme is red, black and white so I began by painting my wooden circle wreath in black acrylic paint.

2) Next I started hot gluing all of my little ornaments that I wanted to add.  You know, the festive stuff!

3) Glue on your ribbon and enjoy!

(My Cricut cut out that fabulous lettering…)

Fun, right?!  My hubby thinks it’s a bit too modern and when I asked my kiddo if she liked it she said “Um, no. Sorry mom.”  But I LOVE it!  (It may need to go into my office LOL)
