How to Create a Budget Friendly Christmas Wreath!

The holiday season can sometimes be overwhelming. Handling everything may feel daunting. To help, I have a simple Christmas door wreath you can create. I made mine using items from Goodwill and craft store bargains, but you can use any remnants or decorations you already have on hand.

Let's get to it!

I bought this wreath a while ago (all product details will be provided at the end of the post). I chose it because I loved its design, and it can be used both indoors and outdoors.

These photos are all items I purchased at Goodwill. The arrangement came with a lovely glass vase for just $7.00 (buying the greenery separately would have easily cost over $40). The red wreath was $3.00. When shopping at Goodwill, I try to think outside the box; for example, with the wreath, it wasn't nice enough to use by itself, but it is perfect to add as an embellishment. The final pictures show greenery and pinecones I purchased from a craft store at a 60% discount, and the ribbon is from the same craft store, which I got during a buy one, get three free deal.

With everything gathered, I was ready to create.

The first step was to add the red berries using green floral wire. I used wire on two sides and the top, then gave it the shake test and continued on.

After the berries were secured, I added more greenery to create a focal point at the bottom of the wreath.

Then, I wrapped ribbon around the berries. To further highlight the central point, I placed two large pinecones on each side. The final step was adding a loosely tied ribbon to the center.

I love the way the wreath came out; it was both cost-effective and timesaving, taking less than an hour to complete. Keeping my options minimal and having everything in front of me was the key.
