The Modern Wreath

With leftover tree trimmings, inexpensive bunches of holiday greens from my local market, kitchen twine and a yard of scrap leather lacing, I couldn’t resist dressing our front door with a little homemade Christmas swag. I love all the modern interpretations of the classic wreath – they’re beautifully simple and surprisingly easy to assemble, it makes me wonder why we don’t leave them up all year round! In case you feel so inspired, here are some examples that might spur some weekend crafting ideas:

    I’ve never really taken notice of christmas wreaths but this year, or rather last year they started catching my eyes. I wanna try and make one this year, one of those charming and rustic ones that make my heart sing!

    What a story, it seems to me that such a definition of a topic is a sensational option.
