These gorgeous DIY Christmas wreath ideas (and a couple of swags!) will save you money and help transform your house into a festive holiday home!
It’s no secret my babes goes a little gaga for seasonal and holiday wreaths, but she’s especially nuts about Christmas wreaths.
And can you blame her?
She grew up in a country without wreaths.
I’m serious!
Wreaths are a distinctly Western phenomenon – in her native Turkey, they are unheard of!
When we first moved to The States, she couldn’t even pronounce the word “wreath.”
Reth, she called it, and her first reth was a scrawny little thing she made for Halloween in 2013.
But that warped and wobbly little spider reth lit a passion inside her.
By Christmas of that very same year, not only could she say wreath, but her wreath-making skills blossomed. She was hooked.
Since then, she and I have made all sorts of wreaths for The Navage Patch.
This year, we want to share with you this stunning collection of our very favorite DIY Christmas wreath ideas. We love all of these Christmas wreaths, and will be making some of them to hang around the Patch this holiday season.

DIY Star Anise Wreath
by Kris at Driven By Decor
Kris’s projects are defined by an elegant style that shines through regardless of what materials she is working with. Her stunning star anise wreath is a perfect example. Handan just can’t keep her eyes off this wreath, so I know what I have to do in the next couple of weeks! I’ll bet this wreath smells amazing, too. I think I’ll try to work some cinnamon into mine.

Handan has also been eyeballing a gorgeous pinecone wreath from Etsy (Cadeau De La Nature) for the past few weeks. I know I don’t have time to make all of the DIY Christmas wreaths she loves, and if you find yourself in the same boat, you may want to consider buying one like this. It’s okay, we won’t judge. 😉

Winter Ice Wreath
Depending on where you live, this Christmas wreath idea could last for a few weeks or maybe just for a special occasion. Either way, it looks incredible! Can you picture it at sunset, filled with golden light? Bonus: once everyone arrives to your party, you can chuck it in the punchbowl! 😆

Ice Skate Wreath
Hit up any tag sale in the Northeast (or anywhere it snows in the winter), and you’re almost sure to find some old ice skates for sale. We picked up a couple years back, and we’ve used them in a few outdoor Christmas displays. Looks like we now have another use for them!

Buffalo Check Christmas Wreath
by Amanda at Domestically Creative
I feel like I’m constantly telling you that Handan is nuts about this thing or that. In this post alone, I’ve mentioned her love of wreaths and banners, and now I have to also mention that she goes bananas over buffalo check! So yeah, she saw Amanda’s wreath and started drooling all over her laptop. Fortunately for me, this is another no-embroidery-skills-needed DIY Christmas wreath! 🙂

Christmas Wreath with Bells
by Rachel at Shades of Blue Interiors
Okay, at this point, I should probably just shut up about all the things Handan goes ape about, because otherwise the list is going to get embarrassingly long.
Yep, they’re on her bananas list, too.
Anyway, both my babes and I dig this wreath, because I also love those rustic bells! Head on over to Shades of Blue Interiors to see how Rachel made it.

Clip-On Christmas Swag
by Handan and Greg at The Navage Patch
My babes found an old faux Christmas tree at the Put and Take years ago, and she turned that tree into 3 awesome Christmas decorations, including this clip-on swag! The best part about this swag is that it takes no more than 3 seconds to hang and take down!

DIY Pompom Wreath
by Amy at Mom Advice
We love this simple and plain yet cozy DIY Pompom Christmas Wreath – it makes us want to curl up inside it and take a nap! Make this wreath at your own peril! It may never make it onto a door because everyone will want to cuddle it!
Source: Mom Advice
If you want a little festive touch on your pompom wreath, you can add a few mini ornaments like this one from Target has. Or if you’re feeling a little lazy, you can just buy it from Target!

DIY Tinsel Wreath
About as simple as they come, Country Living’s Christmas tinsel wreath will add a little sparkle to your holiday. You may want to make your stars look a little less starfishy though. Man, that really threw me on first glance. I couldn’t figure out what starfish had to do with Christmas! 😆

Love, love, love this post! I adore wreaths too and am always looking for great ideas and this had plenty! Thank you for doing all the legwork! 🙂
Greg says
Thank you, Jennifer, and you’re welcome! 🙂
Sandy R says
Thanks for all the great ideas! I really like that buffalo plaid and have a piece of fabric I could use but since I don’t have a cutting machine for the lettering, I think I’m going to make a banner like the sweater hoop. Wish me luck!
Greg says
You’re welcome, Sandy – Good luck with your wreath! 🙂
Barbara Warner says
Greg and Handan,
There are so many pretty wreaths here on your blog that I need one for every room in my house! Love that white loopy yarn wreath with the bottle brush trees, an the swags with the rusty bells. Love the multi-colored ornament wreath, and the anise star. . . too many to mention!
You two have a lot of great ideas and I use many of them. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you both.
Greg says
Thank you so much, Barbara! Handan and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! 🙂
Jay says
The wreath is such an American staple – y’all will have a wreath for any occasion! We do have them at Christmas, though. My wreath this year is a bauble wreath in pastels with small snowflake fairy lights and two pastel metal bells in the middle with a small Noel sign. Topped off with a big bow in purple and mint.
My favourites here are definitely the ice ring (oh how I wish the weather allowed us to have something like that. I’d have an ice puddle), the ice skates definitely, and the loop Yarn wreath, of course, is still a winner!
Greg says
You’re not kidding, Jay! There’s not a month goes by without some sort of wreath to commemorate something! I also love that ice wreath, and this year, it’d have a good chance to last until Christmas! (Though I still think it would look better in a punch bowl!) 😀
Judy says
What is the name of yarn used in the yarn wreath?
SUE says
I can’t believe I’m just seeing this now—-on the 27th of December!!!!! So many great ideas and so much time (and money I’m sure) before next year’s holiday season. As much as I like reading the Navage Patch, I’m afraid I may need an “intervention” because of you and yours! But, that’s a good thing–I think! Anyway, keep up the good work—and truth be known, I’m a bit jealous that I can’t get a hummingbird to come sit in my hands the way you did!
Greg says
Better late than never, Sue! Intervention Intershmention – if you like it, do it! That’s my motto, lol! Hey, about that hummingbird – he was near death when I picked him up and revived him. Once he came to his senses, he was outta there! The blue jay on the other hand…he just couldn’t get enough of me! 🙂
Cathy says
Thank You! I made the yarn loop wreath for my mom who is in assisted living. I used some of my Dad’s bottle brush trees and figures from his train display. A wonderful way to preserve the memory. I enjoy your posts immensely and I truly believe handmade is the very BEST.
Greg says
You are so very welcome, Cathy! I’m happy to hear you made the wreath with such sentimental materials. Happy New Year to you! 🙂
