DIY Christmas Wreaths

With Christmas fast-approaching, now is the time to make all those holiday decorations - if you haven't already!

In sticking with my "Christmas, Naturally" theme this year, here are some clever and crafty ideas for making your own wreaths with items from nature. Some of them may be a stretch, not 100% from Nature, but you get the idea. And hopefully you'll already have most of the supplies around your house, inside or out. :)

Acorn Wreath from Made.

I love this wreath! Dana's tutorials are SO EASY to follow with detailed step-by-step photos. Plus, she shows you how this wreath will look when left naturally unpainted, or splashed with color.

My dear sister, Heidi, made this wreath from wrapping paper in 20 minutes! She's unbelievably crafty, and thrifty! :)
