christmas wreath ideas

Michael Arnaud; Brian Woodcock

Christmas decorations are one of the most important elements of a holiday celebration. While your first thought might be to direct your focus towards decorating your interior space — your Christmas tree, living room mantel and even your dinner table — your home's exterior deserves just as much attention. If you're stumped on where to start, consider your front door.

Homemade Christmas wreaths are a great way to give guests a warm welcome for the holiday season without spending a ton of money (plus, you'll create a great tradition for the family). You can go for a classic wreath with lush greenery or get more creative with designs crafted of things like cookie cutters, colorful candy or black-and-white family photos. There's really no shortage of ideas. For inspiration, click through for our favorite DIY Christmas wreath ideas to make your holiday one to remember.
