This year I really wanted some afforable holiday decor for our kitchen. I ended up finding these faux garlands at my local Salvation Army thrift store for only 99 cents each! Great deal, plus they were brand new. I figured they would work great for DIY Holiday Wreaths. If you are wanting to decorate for the holidays but are on a limited budget, the Salvation Army thrift store is a great place to start! They have decorations, garland, ornaments, ribbon, gift wrap, pretty much anything you would need for the holidays!

DIY HOLIDAY WREATHS MATERIALS

• Green Garland – one or two depending on how large your wreath is or how many you want to make.
• Ribbon – any colour of your choice. I really like the dark burgundy to add a pop of colour.
• Wreath Base – You could find these at the thrift store or at your local dollar store.
• Hot Glue Gun – If you don’t have one in your craft box already, it’s time to invest in one! They are really affordable and super handy.

STEP 1

Cut your garland to size for the wreath.

STEP 2

Glue the garland onto the wreath base

STEP 3

Add the ribbon or string to hang the wreath

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 to create a DIY Holiday Wreath on a budget and in less than 5 minutes! The best part is these wreaths are reusable and won’t cause a big mess in your home! A simple update would be to replace the ribbon or add some festive material like pinecones or berries. These wreaths could be updated year after year.

COST of DIY HOLIDAY WREATHS

2 Green Garlands: 99 cents each (Salvation Army thrift store), Burgundy Ribbon: $1.99 (Salvation Army thrift store), Wreath Base: $3.75 (DollarTree)

TOTAL: $7.72 (For 3 wreaths! It works out to only $2.57 each, which is a bargain!)
