We saw so many really beautiful ones while out shopping the other day, but they were all so pricey - as much as $60 in some cases!
So we decided to get creative and make our own.
We each picked out trimmings that would complement our home decor.
Jess loves the color red.
Both Jess and I used these ruby red gems my mom had to give our wreaths a little extra sparkle.
We were quite pleased with the way our holiday projects turned out.

I used to go to a wreathmaking party at a church for many years and made my own fresh pine wreath. Then carpal tunnel forced me to stop going. Yours are beautiful. xo
They are both stunning. You all did a great job and isn't is so much fun, rather than buying them. You know I make all mine and of course I sell them, but I love making my own more. Enjoy your creations! I Love Them!!
Wow, $60 is expensive! I think the Christmas wreaths you both made look just beautiful! I love all the added touches :) I have a few Christmas crafts I want to tackle..I always have such big plans, but there never does seem enough time :P
Two most gorgeous wreaths! Y'all did a wonderful job making your wreaths. I don't know why a 'bought' one has to cost so much! :)
Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,

Oh Yes I so agree with you ladies, too much money. Plus there is something so special about when you do it yourselves. I love them, they are gorgeous!!! I think my fav, is hard to pick one....

So pretty! It's fun to make them ourselves! We go to a really cool nursery where they have the greens and tons of decorations and bows and we pick out what we want on our wreaths and they make them for us while we wait. Last year, my wreaths were lavished with tartan plaid...which was fun because we are Scottish.

Your wreaths are both very beautiful and so much nicer than the ones you buy, because you have put so much love and care into it.
I have been trying to finish a few small Christmas gifts.
Happy week

So pretty ~ both of them. I love the addition of the little gems.
No holiday crafting happening here ... just lots of decorating.
Your wreaths turned out so pretty! I think you both did a great job. I like how you took a plain green wreath and turned into something special to match your decor. I agree with you about how overpriced most wreaths are. That was a wise idea to make your own. Thanks for sharing!
Nothing say's Welcome as nice as a holiday wreath. These are so beautiful. And making them yourself is such a rewarding Welcome too!
