You already know we love pink Christmas decor, and this DIY wreath is the perfect statement piece to add to your collection.

Ornament Wreath

Crafting these decoupaged Christmas ornaments is the perfect project to use up that stash of scraps from old rolls of wrapping paper. Punctuate the arrangement with a scattering of faux berries from the botanical aisle of the crafts supply store. A candy-striped pom-pom bow is a finishing touch for this pretty-as-a-present faux boxwood wreath.

Editor's Tip: To decoupage ornaments, cut strips of paper, then brush Mod Podge ($5, Michaels) onto a portion of the ornament and on paper strips. Press and repeat until the ornament is covered, then brush on a top coat of decoupage and let dry. Use florists wire to secure ornaments to the wreath.

Tinsel Wreath

This isn't your grandma's tinsel wreath! This more-is-more display starts with a basic sparkly wreath, but gets a bold upgrade from as many ornaments, bottlebrush trees, pinecones, and accessories as possible. Use hot glue to attach everything, using crafts wire on extra heavy ornaments as well.

Accessorize with mini bottlebrush trees and a small house figure, and use a sparkly ribbon to hang it on the front door or over the mantel.

Red Flower Wreath

With an oval floral oasis as a base, this lush wreath is easy to create. Simply soak the oasis until it's fully wet, then tuck in stems of flowers, berries, and greens trimmed to 3- to 4-inch lengths, clustering each type into free-flowing waves of color. The surprise element here is the radish; wire small bunches to a floral pick and insert the pick. We also used amaryllis, spray and garden roses, protea, Hypericum berries, and mixed evergreens.

Christmas Tree Wreath

Tired of the same old circular Christmas wreath? Craft your own creative Christmas tree-shaped wreath. Lay small cedar wreaths in a triangle tree shape and attach together with green craft wire ($3, Michaels). Add a "trunk" at the bottom, constructed from a few sticks cut to the same length. Hang from a pretty ribbon tied into a classic bow.

Felt Poinsettia Wreath

Pretty Pinecone Christmas Wreath

Simple materials get a textural upgrade, thanks to a little dose of white spray paint to reference a dusting of snow. Vary the coverage of spray paint so some pinecones are fully "snow-covered" and others are lightly dusted. Let dry. Use 8-inch pieces of florist's wire to attach pinecones to a wire wreath form. Hot-glue red jingle bells to the wreath, placing most of them on the full-white pinecones to help the color pop.

DIY Red Berry Wreath

This handmade red berry wreath adds a cheery pop of color to your holiday front porch. Get the look by updating a basic grapevine wreath ($6, Michaels) with seasonal red berries and an oversize bow. Make it even merrier and add small greenery branches or ball ornaments.

Twig Christmas Wreath

Paint a grapevine wreath white (or start with a white wreath). Give a few pinecones a light coat of white spray paint and let dry. Attach the longest sticks to the wreath with a glue gun and fill in with smaller pieces, gluing in place as needed. Spray the whole wreath with light coat of white paint ($6, Walmart), allowing some of the natural color to show through. Glue on the pinecones, tie on a jute ribbon bow, and add a few cedar sprigs behind the bow.

Red Berry Traditional Wreath

Start with a basic fir form and tuck in bits of berries and more greenery to create an overstuffed yet beautiful Christmas wreath. Keep it casual with unmeasured berry twigs (some long, some short), and a loose, imperfect red bow.

Almond Flower Christmas Wreath

Spare a handful of almonds from the nutcracker and repurpose them as a Christmas wreath embellishment instead. Arrange the nuts in flower shapes and use a hot glue gun ($4, Walmart) to attach them to a moss wreath (our wreath is accented with grapevine). Add a cranberry to the center of each flower and finish with simple red cording bow.

We'll show you how to make your own Christmas wreath using greenery! Display it through the holiday season and into spring—this long-lasting wreath can be customized with your favorite faux flowers, berries, and ribbon.

Embellish a store-bought magnolia leaf wreath with metallic spray paint and twigs. Spray-paint the wreath silver, letting some of the leaves' green and brown hues to show through.

Homemade Skate Wreath

Repurpose an out of commission pair of skates as a wreath for your front door. Just fill the boots with sprigs of greenery and branches and hang up the skates.

Natural Christmas Wreath

A collection of nature's seasonal bounty—pinecones, seeds, shells, sticks, berries, and nuts—provides the materials for this textured wreath. To make, purchase a foam wreath form and hot-glue miscellaneous items around the wreath, varying placement and color for visual interest.

Editor's Tip: Assemble the pinecone Christmas wreath first with the flattest elements (like moss), ending with three-dimensional statement pieces (like pods). Hang the wreath a few times during assembly and step back to decide which piece to fill in next.

Homemade Forest Wreath

Turn a mossy wreath into a woodland tableaux. Choose twigs with interesting lines and forked details. Beginning at the top, place the thickest twigs in a nice pattern so they follow the curve of the wreath. Secure with florists U pins. Fill in with smaller twigs tucked or pinned in place. Wire a few birds to the wreath. Tie a piece of ribbon to use as a hanger around the top of the wreath, and attach a bow with a wire.

Fruit-Harvest Wreath

A pretty collection of greens and bright colors puts the focus on pretty fruits. To create, purchase a wire wreath form. Use florists wire to attach real or faux apples to the wreath, inserting the wire end into the bottom of the apple and wrapping around the wreath. Add an inner layer of limes using the same method, and an outer layer of pinecones, too. Insert greenery as needed to fill in gaps and to add fullness to the pinecone Christmas wreath.

Christmas Wreath Greetings

Make a literal statement with your wreath this year by hanging an oversize wooden cutout greeting on the front of your wreath. Use a clean color like white to pop against stunning silver ornament accents ($5 for 40, Walmart).

Color Pop Pinecone Wreath

Fragrant Laurel Christmas Wreath

A classic wreath form, the laurel, gets a fragrant twist with fresh rosemary. Hot-glue the inner and outer rings of a 14-inch wooden quilting hoop together; let dry. Cut an 8-inch section from the top of the glued-together hoop. Use florists wire to attach rosemary bunches to the sides of the hoop and sprigs to the front. Glue a bow to the bottom center of the wreath; dust with faux snow if desired.

Driftwood Christmas Wreath

Glued around a foam form, odds and ends of driftwood become a naturally beautiful wall accent. Collect pieces of wood and hot glue ($4, Target) around the wreath form, filling in with smaller pieces as needed to cover the form. Hang with a simple wide ribbon.

Fir Wreath with Ornaments and Leaves

Give an elegant design boost to a classic evergreen wreath. Glittery holiday balls and spray-painted bay leaves supply a golden gloss. Choose a silky ribbon in a complementary color to bring together both the Christmas wreath accents and the greenery.

Boxwood Blue Christmas Wreath

This boxwood beauty is an elegant way to break outside the circle. The chilly blue wreath starts with a purchased square boxwood wreath and finishes with mini ornaments and glittering sugar beads.

For the Christmas bows: Top your wreath with a handmade bow! Cut eight strips of ribbon long enough to wrap around the wreath. Lay out two pieces of ribbon in an X-shape. Wrap a small length of florists wire around the middle of each X; twist ends together in back to secure. Nestle wire into the wreath. Make three more bows using the ribbon strips. Hot-glue the embellishments on to finish.

Perfectly Paired Christmas Wreaths

Why stop at just one wreath? Link two wreaths together to form a topiary-like look on your front door. Hang the wreaths on their own hooks for stability, but tie a ribbon from one wreath to the next so they look like one cohesive Christmas wreath.

Vintage Christmas Wreath

Give mini Christmas balls a little extra oomph by placing them in the center of vintage tree light reflectors. Attach the ultra-shiny ornaments and additional balls to the wreath using florists wire, then hang with a ribbon in an unexpected color, such as dusty pink or mint green.

Every knock on your front door will be jollier than ever with this snazzy Santa wreath.

This non-traditional Christmas wreath gets pops of yellow and orange from faux flowers. Accent it with greenery and twigs for a holiday wreath that'll last you from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve.

Citrus Grapevine Christmas Wreath

This season, we're sweet on citrus. Make artificial citrus fruit sparkle with a swipe of glue and a sprinkling of German glass glitter. Once dry, glue onto an 18-inch grapevine wreath. Tuck in fresh or faux citrus leaves; glue in place to secure.

Frosty Blue Wreath

The luster of silvery ornaments makes any amount of evergreen stand out in this Christmas wreath with pine cones and berries. Using florists wire ($3, Michaels), attach silver-sprayed pinecones to an evergreen wreath. Add a mix of medium and large silver glass ornaments, using florists wire to secure. For elegant pops of blue or teal, tuck in small ornaments.

Curled Paper Christmas Wreath

Give your holiday wreath personal charm with family photos and hand-selected scrapbook paper. To craft, curl 1x6-inch strips of paper and wrap them tightly around a pencil, then glue the ends together. Once dry, hot-glue the paper circles onto an 8-inch florists foam circle at various angles. Play with patterns and prints to give your wreath pops of holiday color and cheer.

Leather Hoop Wreath

Minimalist without being Grinch-like, this leather wreath is ideal for homes with modern decor. If modern isn't your style, try wrapping the hoops in yarn or ribbon. To create, hot-glue two crafts rings together. Wrap each ring with its own color of leather cording, overlapping the cording where the rings meet. Arrange faux greenery and secure with hot glue. Secure colored ornaments or wood balls with hot glue and hang with leather cording.

Gold-Studded Pinecone Wreath

Paint pinecones silver and stud them with gold embellishments for a metallic take on your Christmas door. Start with a basic pinecone wreath and spray-paint it silver. Wire on gold accessories, such as golden nuts (you can spray-paint them yourself if you can't find pre-painted) and gold ball ornaments. Hang with a wide silk gold ribbon.

Festive Holiday Yarn Wreath

Greet rosy-cheeked guests with a warm, flowery wreath. First, wrap green yarn around a wreath form (available at your local crafts store). Then, create the pretty poinsettia blooms by cutting out felt flower shapes and hot-gluing silver bells to the centers. Hang this Christmas wreath from your door with a festive red-and-green ribbon.

Blue and Silver Christmas Balls Wreath

Dress up a plain evergreen wreath with eucalyptus sprigs, glass ball ornaments, and spray paint. To make, wire and wrap the ornaments to the wreath using florists picks, focusing the lightest, biggest ornaments at the top and the darkest, smallest ornaments at the bottom. Use pearl-gold and mist-blue glitter sprays to give the wreath trimmings some frosty elegance.

Leafy Red-and-Green Christmas Wreath

The luster of silvery pink-sprayed leaves in combination with the bright pops of red leaves make this holiday wreath a showstopper. To make, spray purchased green faux leaves with your favorite shades of shimmery pink and red. Leave some of the leaves green to balance the color. Once dry, tuck them tightly in an evergreen wreath.

Holly Jolly Felt Wreath

A collection of perky colors gives an ordinary holiday wreath a bright makeover. Choose felt in classic shades of red and green, then add in complementary hues like orange and aqua. To make, cut the felt into 7-inch strips, about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in width. Wrap and overlap the strips around the foam wreath, pinning the ends to the back. Glue on a cute berry embellishment to finish. To make the Christmas berries: Craft the cozy red berries using three 1x20 inch strips. Trim one long edge of each strip with pinking shears. Starting at one short end and keeping the long straight edge aligned, roll each strip to make a berry. Secure to the felt using hot glue.

Colorful Christmas Ornament Wreath

From sweet pinks and reds to icy blues and greens, this Christmas wreath is as colorful as they come! To make, collect ornaments of different shapes, sizes, and styles.

Let some feathered Christmas friends circle around a wreath this year. To make this holiday wreath, coat a store-bought pinecone wreath with gray spray paint.
