In the mood for something other than a round holiday wreath this year? I wanted something traditional with evergreen, berries, bells, and bows. I combined some affordable elements to create my own Christmas swag wreath that will last for years to come.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went the faux route to create this DIY Christmas swag wreath, but this would be a great project to forage greenery for as well. Follow the step by step tutorial below to make one yourself in less than an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n

Anyone remember my Easter swag wreath<\/a><\/em>? This was my first attempt at DIY front door decor where I pulled together elements for an affordable solution that was both unique and festive. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to make a Christmas version as well!<\/p>\n\n\n

And almost just as important as the door decor, is the front door itself. Would you believe this is just a plain old wooden door that was originally painted red? I decided to DIY my way to a wood look finish <\/a><\/em>to compliment the brick. It’s been almost two years and I still love it. The finish has held up great, and is so much cheaper than purchasing a wooden front door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1: Gather Supplies to Create your Christmas Swag Wreath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my exact swag, I used only four supplies. My teardrop shaped greenery had evergreen needles, green leaves and red berries. I’ve always been so fond of these old vintage bells, and found some I loved this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accent the berries, I found this large buffalo check bow with floral wire on the back. <\/p>\n\n\n

STEP 2: Attach the bells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used the wire covered by rope to tie and twist around the bells, and attach to the top of the swag. I chose to stagger my bells, and tied them at three different lengths. <\/p>\n\n\n

STEP 3: Tie the Bow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My bow came with floral wire on the back, so I was able to easily attach it to the top of the swag to finish it off. <\/p>\n\n\n
