DIY Modern Christmas Wreath
Whether it’s day to day styling or the modern holiday decor, I’m all about easy, simple, quick, and lovely. This modern Christmas wreath checks all those boxes. It only took me about 10 minutes and is one of my favorite minimalist holiday decor items. My boys were shocked I made this (not sure if that’s a compliment or what…), but I’m definitely proud of the result! And, not only is it easy
Not only is this an easy DIY project for a modern Christmas wreath, but it’s holiday decor I actually keep up throughout the season. You could easily remove the bells for a more general winter wreath or added different greenery like eucalyptus to make it feel less holiday themed.
Modern Christmas Wreath Supplies
Wondering how to make a modern Christmas wreath? Well, I used many supplies from other projects (like leftover brass bells from my DIY bell garland) and regular household items.
You can totally mix things up and use what you have on hand but each hoop wreath supply is easy to find and I’ve included some sources here.
- Macrame Ring Gold Hoop I used the 12″ which seems easy to work with – I used the extra ones to make yarn hangings later
- Vintage Style Bells: I used these 2.5″ Rounded Top Bells
- Craft Wire: Most wire will work, just make sure it’s easy to bend, it will save you a lot of trouble
- Jute String: This is a good option, though you could try ribbon or velvet
- Cedar Greenery: I scrounged around our yard and took apart a different wreath I scored, but you could always try ordering live greenery
- Other ideas: pinecones, berries, and holly would be lovely in a holiday wreath as well
This Christmas wreath was seriously so easy to make, it’s essentially just wrapping
How to Make Christmas Wreath
Time needed: 10 minutes
How to Make a DIY Hoop Wreath
- Cut Craft Wire
Using strong scissors or wire cutters, cut wire into 12″ pieces
- Layout Greenery Around Metal Ring
Place greenery around bottom of ring, arranging for desired symmetry
- Wrap Wire Around Greenery Stems
With one hand holding greenery in place, wrap each stem, 1 or 2 at a time with wire until secure
- Tie Bells Onto End of Jute String
Measure string about 24″ -30″ long, tie bells to end. Then tie string onto metal wring with simple tie knot. You could add more bells and string if desired
- Hang Wreath!
Simply hang wreath with a thumbtack or tiny nail. Asymmetrical wreaths may require a bit of care to hang just so.
Christmas Wreath Styling
This minimal wreath is so versatile. You can hang it on the door which would be so minimal and lovely. In the past, I’ve hung it in our entryways as just a simple holiday home decor. One year, I placed it in the bathroom on the black wall and it made such a stunning piece of art.
It can be easily modified for different seasons by using whatever materials are on hand. I’d love to see a dried eucalyptus wreath with or maybe even one with black velvet ribbon. So many options!
