Well it’s getting very merry around my house.
I thought I would share my outdoor wreaths that cost me $5 each.
And they really require no wizard-like craft skills.
Because I have no wizard-like craft skills.
I don’t even have the craft skills of a wizard’s assistant.
What I am trying to say is I am not crafty.
The wreaths are on their 3rd year and still going strong which means my $5 is really going a LONG WAY.
Here is the supply list:
- $2.50- 18 in. grapevine wreath (craft store)
- $1 – 9 ft. ribbon (craft store or dollar store)
- $1- 12-15 jingle bells (dollar store)
- $1- ready-made red velvet bow (dollar store)
Total: $5.50
I waited for the floral supplies to go on sale 1/2 price at my local Hobby Lobby before I purchased the grapevine wreaths.
Note: grapevine wreaths are not sold with the Christmas merchandise
What I love about the grapevine wreaths is that every wreath is unique so the finished product does not have to be “perfect.”
I simply wrapped the wreath in 9 ft of ribbon, attaching it to be back of the wreath with floral wire or even safety pins.
Then I wired the jingle bells on for a little bling. And finally attached the ready-made dollar store bow.
It does NOT get easier than that.

I used Command strips or suction cup hooks to attach each wreath to the window.
