Fifteen Easy Winter Wreath Crafts: Utilize Plants from Your Backyard to Create an Organic Wreath

=========================================================

Winter is a magical time, and what better way to celebrate the season than by creating your own DIY winter wreaths? Tara Greaves, the author of "Beautiful Winter Wreath Ideas To Make," shares a variety of inspiring and natural wreath ideas that will transform your front door or home decor.

One of the simplest wreaths to make is a twiggy wreath, which can be created using a variety of trees or plants and adorned with garden foliage. For a festive feel, pinecones can be added to natural winter wreaths, and attached to a foliage-covered frame.

For those seeking a more elaborate design, a wreath with a mix of different textures can be created using lush foliage, herbs, tree bark, pinecones, and dried lotus heads. Another option is to make a wreath with white woodland hellebores and pussy willow to adorn a stick wreath.

If you're looking for a statement piece, a branches wreath can be made using willow branches and pink and white peppercorns. For a minimalist approach, a foliage candle wreath can be created using a wire wreath hoop, clip-on candleholder, and garden foliage.

For bird lovers, a peanut wreath can be made using a twig wreath frame and peanuts in the shell, offering a treat for our feathered friends. For a vintage touch, adding dried flowers, foliage, seed heads, and ornamental grasses to a DIY winter wreath is a great option.

For those who prefer a more aromatic wreath, an herb wreath using rosemary, bay, and sage can be made. After Christmas, opt for a midwinter magic theme with lots of foliage and berries, particularly white ones, and pinecones.

To start creating your own winter wreaths, collecting foliage, flowers, berries, fruits, and other items from your garden or foraging on seasonal walks is suggested. Hand-picked plants will provide color and interest over the holidays and beyond. Drying fruit extends a harvest past the growing season and adds festive fragrance and color to DIY winter wreaths.

Another handy tip is to skip making the base and add to a plain wreath with plants from your yard. Simple winter wreaths for the front door can be made, or a DIY natural holiday wreath can be made to enjoy over Christmas and New Year.

With these winter wreath ideas, you'll be able to create beautiful and natural wreaths that will bring a touch of the outdoors into your home this winter season. So why not get crafting and let your creativity shine?
