Give Me a “P” for Pom-Pom
Up the cheer factor in a forlorn corner in just half an hour by hot-gluing large, neutral-colored faux fur pom-poms one by one onto a foam wreath form until it’s completely covered. Hang the wreath on an interior wall with a pink ribbon for a chic effect.Â
Sweet, Soft, and Puffy
The only thing better than marshmallows in your hot cocoa might be marshmallows on your walls.

Go Nuts

Rock Your Socks
Why let those socks your grandma gives you every year go to waste when you can repurpose them into homey door decor? Use two embroidery hoops of different sizes to trace a wreath form onto foam core. Cut out the wreath form, cut the socks to wrap around it, glue them down, and fit the embroidery hoops into place around the form. Hot-glue a wooden cutout of a holiday greeting inside the wreath to give guests a warm welcome.

Like Fine Wine
When it came time to decorate her wreath, the DIYer at Cork and Spoon decided to skip the traditional evergreen boughs and put a cork in it—200 wine corks, to be specific, arranged in concentric circles and hot-glued onto a straw wreath form. A sprig or two of greenery and faux holly berries, secured to the wreath with floral wire and hot glue, make the holiday even cheerier.

Pipe Dream
Nothing clinches a mirthful mood quite like the sight of shiny holiday baubles. To showcase yours, hot-glue PVC pipes of different diameters into a circular arrangement, spray-paint the assembly, fill the openings of the pipes with small ornaments, and hang the wreath on your door with a chain to brighten your entryway.
The Final Straw
After sipping up that glass of punch, don’t take that drinking straw to the trash, but rather to the porch to doll up your doorway. Cover a dollar-store foam wreath in red ribbon, glue striped straws of alternating lengths side by side to the front of the wreath, and tie on a matching striped bow.
Bespoke Beauty
Make a merry memory of all the miles you put on your old bike by upcycling one of the wheels into an evergreen wreath. Twine real or fake evergreen boughs around the rim with elastic rope and gear ties, then finish it off with eye-popping crimson bows.
