Dried Herb and Flower Wreath

This mixed-herb wreath is a fragrant collection of dried plants. The bright red color comes from chiles de arbol, interspersed with bay leaves, Mexican sage, marjoram and more. You can get the look by drying herbs and arranging them on an affordable wreath form, which you maybe able to find in the craft aisle of your local discount store.

A living wreath of fresh herbs for cooks to pick from as they prepare holiday meals makes a great hostess gift.

Sweater Wreath Ornament

Looking for something to do with that ugly sweater your aunt gave you last year? The small decorative wreath shown here was made using old wool sweaters. The fuzzy material will add warmth to cold entryways for years to come. Just cut the fabric into squares, cut small slits into the center of each square, and thread them onto a wire hanger. Form the wire into a circle, top with a bright red bow, and you're all done.

Gather ribbon scraps from your holiday gift-wrapping sessions to make this wreath. Tie leftover satin or grosgrain ribbon into puffy bows all the way around a wire wreath form. Want the look without the work? The Etsy creation shown here is a custom piece, so you can specify themes and colors when you make your order.
