Christmas is coming and the decoration of our house has to accompany these very special dates. Whether we are very themed decorations on these dates, or if we are not, there are two or three elements that are not usually missing in any home: the tree and the nativity scene, or both, and the Christmas garland or wreath on the door of the home or somewhere in the house.
We love going through the doors of the houses at Christmas and finding the typical wreaths or garlands that give that homey touch to our houses on these important dates. If you are bored of always putting the same wreath on your door, we give you some clues so that this year you can create a new one you, using cheap materials that you will surely have at home. The base for the shape of the crown is always a cardboard cutout in a round shape and with a hole in the center (donut), either more or less in diameter depending on how you want to make it or the dimensions of your door. A wire can also be taken as a basis. Be that as it may, we leave you the best ideas to create simple Christmas wreaths and garlands.
Tinsel wreaths for your door at Christmas
It is one of the easiest ways to create a crown to your liking. You just have to take a cardboard and cut it in the shape of a circle or oval of the dimensions you prefer. Then take a tinsel of the color you want, it can be green to look like a vegetable or red, the color of Christmas. Paste it with silicone so that there are no free holes and tie a bow or string at the top. Do you want to add something else? Bet on some element to paste on the tinsel, for example pine cones, balls, mistletoe… Give it imagination.
Trendy wreaths with DIY Christmas balls
Surely you have leftover Christmas balls at home that you have changed from the tree and saved. What can you do with them? Reuse them for your DIY crown! Take a wire hanger and open it up. Give it a round shape and start inserting the balls at one end. You can make it in one or two combined colors or in many shades, you choose. Close the crown and add a bow that matches the balls you have placed. You can also take a less rigid wire and insert the balls to create a garland and thus decorate a fireplace sill, a mirror frame or hang it on the door of your house.
Ideas for Christmas wreaths made of fabrics or with shapes of fabrics
The leftover fabrics that are Christmas can serve as inspiration to make these fabric-shaped crowns. Take some molds of shapes that you like and with simple lines: heart, star, candy cane, fir tree… Draw them on two pieces of fabric and join them with backstitching (if you do it with a sewing machine it will be more homogeneous), leaving a space to fill it with cotton. After filling it, close the hole with another backstitch and cut it out with punching scissors, slightly removed from the seam to leave a little edge in the shape of the figure... Once several have been made, you can stick them on a piece of cardboard in the shape of a crown or put a string on them and hang them with some tweezers to form a garland… You choose. If you don’t feel like sewing, you can always make chariots and stick them on the crown or cone shapes, which are much easier and are also phenomenal.
How to make Christmas wreaths with cardboard, cardboard or paper
These crown ideas are great to do with the little ones in the house , especially when it comes to paper or cardboard. All you have to do is cut these cards in fun shapes and glue them in the shape of a crown. You can also create a round cardboard base and stick whatever you can think of in the shape of a garland: wool pompoms, bottle corks to recycle, coffee capsules, records that you no longer use…
Simple Christmas wreaths with clothespins
Surely at home you have many clothespins that you no longer use, either because they are old or because you have new ones. Be that as it may, take advantage of them to create a Christmas wreath by sticking them on a cardboard in the shape of a circle. You can paint them in various colors, such as white, glitter, blue, red or green, and you will have a garland made with your own hands, perfect for decorating your door.
Christmas wreaths made with threads or wool
Christmas wreaths made with threads or wool are very homey. To make them yourself, with your own hands, you will only need a cardboard in the shape of a circle or an oval and the wool you want, in the color you prefer: white, green, red… you have a lot to choose from!
Nature-Inspired Christmas Wreaths
If you want to bet on a Christmas wreath that is reminiscent of nature, the earth, wood, the most rustic decoration, then these wreaths are for you. Bet on elements such as pine cones, twigs, green leaves or even flowers and glue them in the shape of a crown, all together and with colors that match each other. You will have an original crown where there are, and thus bring a very different touch to your home.
Fun Christmas wreaths or garlands for the whole family on trend
If there are small children in your house or you want to add a touch of fun to your home at Christmas, there is nothing better than opting for a slightly more colorful, fun and original Christmas wreath. You can opt for a crown inspired by the Grinch , another by Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men, one with a snowman… They are a little more elaborate, but the result is most attractive.
Christmas wreaths with fruit or nuts
A Christmas wreath with fruit or nuts is also an original and simple option in equal parts. You will only have to get a round structure, such as a cardboard, and paste all those fruits that you want to add on it, which can be artificial to save you the work of varnishing them so that they do not get ugly. If you want to opt for nuts, you can stick as many as you want one by one until you form a compact structure. Then, add a layer of varnish or glue on top so they don’t fall off. Ready!
DIY Christmas wreaths with newspaper
Let’s see what you think of this idea… It seems simple, and it is actually one of the easiest to make. You can use cardboard or leftover cardboard from toilet paper and glue them together to obtain a circular structure. Then, use newspaper to glue little pieces around your structure with white glue. To add more charm to your wreath, use other Christmas elements such as bows, balls or flowers in colors such as red or green.

Catholic families, in addition to decorating their home with the Christmas tree, usually put with all its figures to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. If this is your case, you can choose this time to add the Bethlehem to the door of your house through a beautiful garland or crown that you will surely love. Take note of these ideas!
Handmade Christmas wreaths with buttons
