How can I find some different ideals for Christmas wreaths?

I need some cheaper ideals on how to make wreaths.

How can I find some different ideals for Christmas wreaths?
One idea would be to check on line and see how they are decorating their wreaths or you could go to your local craft stores and see what they have. You could go out into the country to the woods and see it there are vines hanging in the trees. Then find the owner of the property and see if you can cut them down for free or how much they would charge. If they want to charge you let them know that you are aware of the fact that eventually they will kill the tree and take over everything in that area.
Reply:Use coordinated ribbon on one.


What are you into? If you like angels, find some cut outs and paint them, and adhere all over.


Or stars.
Reply:Are you buying the wreath form to decorate? Try craigslist and freecycle and thrift stores for decorations. Lots of people are starting to decorate and getting rid of the things they can't use. The dollar store, Ollies, and Big Lots would be good places to check, too.





As for decorating ideas, I would look at the wreaths in stores and online and see what types of things you like. Maybe you'll fall in love with a specific theme. Check out the links below, maybe they will help.





When I was a kid we used to make wreathes from plastic sandwich bags. We would take a metal hanger (like the kind from a dry cleaner) and bend it into a circle. Then get plastic sandwich bags (not ziplock, the regular fold-over kind) and tie onto the hanger. Tie in a regular over under knot. It sounds odd, I know, but when you get a bunch of them on there it looks full and pretty. Then we would wrap the top of the hanger, the hook part, with ribbon. Or you could remove the hook altogether. Then you can decorate with ribbon or snowflakes or whatever. I wish I had a picture for you because they really do come out really pretty.
