EASY DIY RUSTIC WREATH

I have been seeing all these beautiful rustic details all over the Instagram and Pinterest. My typical Christmas theme is usually gold with a mix of either black or pink. I am not sure if it is all the evergreen trees in my yard in our new house but I wanted to do something different..yet keep it simple. I have had some old neutral wreaths sitting in the basement, which didn't really go with anything in the house, but I got them on a Christmas clearance sale and they are neutral enough so I held on to them. After seeing natural green all over Insta, I decided to give them a little make over. Now, if you have ever seen my DIYs..I have one rule..it better be easy! If it requires more than 3 things, it's just not worth the hassle for me..
So here we go, for this wreath makeover, all you need is:
1. An old wreath/embroidery hoop, or a wire wreath frame which you can buy from any craft store
2. Two/three Garlands of any kind (I used two on one wreath and one on the other, which I got from the Dollar store for $3 each!)
3. A floral wire

I started with the brown and gold wreath seen above and wrapped 2 garlands around it. I secured them with the floral wire and voila! You can also add some additional greenery to give it a full look. See below for step by step illustration.

Start with intertwining the garland around the wreath until it wraps all the way around

Once fully wrapped, secure any lose ends with the floral wire to give the wreath a more circular shape

Tighten any lose branches/ leaves with the floral wire

This is what it looks like with just one garland wrapped around the wreath

For more fullness, I wrapped two garlands around the same way

Next, add more real or faux greenery and secure with the floral wire

 And done! It really is that easy! It took me lieterally $3.00 to update wreath and $6.00 for the other. Most Christmas wreaths average from $40-$150!! And the best part is, if you change you mind next then just take off the garlands and use them as decor around the house!
