I was inspired by the glittery garland wreaths in the Holiday issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine. My version is quick, easy and afforable: $3.50, courtesy of the bargain bins at Target. $1.00 for the garland, and $2.50 for the wreath. No need for glue guns or scissors, either!
At the store, I found red and green wreaths, and silver and gold garland. Choose the combination you prefer… I liked the green and gold which incidentally are my high school colors. (Shhh… my husband thinks I have a ridiculous amount of high school pride.) Red and gold would have been nice, too, for a bit of an Asian flair.
The How-To
- First, the wreath will be completely packed down. You will need to “fluff” or gently pull out the branches.
- Find the end of your garland and keep it on the cardboard (much easier this way).
- Wind the garland around the wreath, in between branches.
- When you reach the end, just tuck the end into the wire base or around a branch. It will be secure.
- Hang and enjoy!
This wreath is going on my son’s bedroom door since his big sister has a wreath on hers. I might use some ribbon and hang the wreath a little lower. Did I mention, they each have their own little tabletop Christmas trees in their rooms, too?
