You could of course use branches of pine and cranberry decorations and red ribbons as well if you feel like a more &quot;traditional&quot; wreath. Use whatever you have at home, or can source in the woods or in your surroundings &#8211; the options are endless and it&#039;s a really cheap, and environmentally friendly way to make decorations too!<\/p>\n<p> This is what I started off with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Imperfect wooden twig ring thing (which no doubt would have been thrown away had I not saved it)<\/li>\n<li>1 Bell decoration thingy<\/li>\n<li>Secondhand thrifted Tinsel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas_DIY_large.jpg\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>The great thing about this DIY is that you can use a base for the wreath that has some imperfections, as they will be covered up by the tinsel. Mine had some glue residue on it, and a few branches broken &#8211; but it doesn&#039;t really matter as you can&#039;t see it on the finished product.<\/p>\n<p>Or why not, make your own if you have any dry twigs laying around the house or can source it!<\/p>\n<p>You can also use tinsel that is not totally perfect, as it won&#039;t show either once its wrapped around the ring.<\/p>\n<p>So this is what you do: just wrap the tinsel around the wooden ring, fasten the ends at the top, and add the bells at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>This is the final result &#8211; what do you think? Looks quite pretty no?<\/p>\n<p>And it only took about 5 minutes to make as well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas_Wrath_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I hung it on my door&#8230; Using a simple suction cup.<\/p>\n<p>I love how the little bells make a noise when you open and close the door!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stylebyasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9793.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Christmas_Wrath_2_large.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other quick, easy and cheap Xmas DIY&#039;s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wrap your normal candle stick holder with tinsel to give it a more &quot;Christmassy&quot; feel (candy canes optional  )<\/li>\n<li>Stuff a santa hat with newspaper for a standalone Christmas decoration<\/li>\n<li>Make a paper star and hang it in the window (colouring optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chandelier_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Candlestick_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ww-vb.mine.nu\/w108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Santa_Hat_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=https:\/\/stylebyasia.com\/blogs\/news\/diy-christmas-decorations>Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throwing in a quick DIY for the holidays coming up, reusing old ornaments or upcycling thrifted items.
