Small Strokes Big Oaks

Part of my handmade holiday decorations this hear has included hand-making wreaths. The best part about these is that they can be made to match any color scheme and any decor. I decided to go neutral this holiday season with gold and silver and accented by snowflakes so I can leave some of my decorations up after Christmas. They are also super easy to make, and relatively inexpensive. I think I spent a total of $40 on the supplies for this wreath, but that also gave me enough to make garland for my house (which you can see here), as well. Best of all, they’re totally unique, and you can add as many layers and accents as you want to match your style.

Here is the tutorial I followed for the wreaths, and this is the one for my garland. See? Easy!

Now for some pictures. First up, my winter wreath in gold and silver with a nice tail and a golden snowflake:

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m making everyone’s Christmas gifts this year, so this one is for my dad. I used my leftovers from my winter wreath because his color scheme is similar to mine:

Since I like to have things that match, I made a smaller wreath for my bathroom:

And, to match even more, I created a centerpiece for my table. The great thing about this stuff is that you can make them any size you want:

Here is the wreath I made for my mother-in-law. She loves blue china and has blue and white throughout her whole house, so I thought these colors would work best:

This is the one I made for my mom. It’s one of my favorites because of the bright teal! Her whole house is grey and white with pops of teal, so I thought this one would be nice on her door:

You can make these wreaths with any colors for any season, too. Here is my fall wreath, complete with burlap ribbon and sparkly leaf ornaments:

I made nice centerpieces with my fall materials, as well:

These are super fun to make, and make great gifts. Since I can’t keep a secret, I gave my mom and mother-in-law theirs already, and they really love them! They even hung them up already. I’m honored and excited to make more for other occasions!

So, if I decided to sell these things, would anyone buy them? 🙂
