Cheap to Chic: Thrift Store Wreath Makeover

half cheap wreath, half expensive looking wreath

I’ve noticed many people are jumping right into decorating for Christmas. In a year where we’re only looking for some cheer, I can completely understand. Today I’ll show you how to dress up a basic cheap wreath to make it look like an expensive one. From Cheap to Chic: A Thrift Store Wreath Makeover.

Cheap to Chic: Thrift Store Wreath Makeover

Never pay a lot for your holiday wreaths, because today I’ll show you how to get an expensive look without a lot of money. First, you’ll want to score a cheap wreath. I bought this wreath at a thrift store and it had some pretty ugly berries on it (which I’ve already pulled off).

Where to Score Cheap Wreaths:

Thrift or Consignment Store
Craig’s List or Facebook Marketplace
Clearance (look after the holidays)
Buy a Basic Wreath (this one is only $15)
Trash (you never know when you’ll find a wreath curbside!)

Materials:

(I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience. I earn a small percentage from a purchase using these links. There is no additional cost to you. You can read more about affiliate links here.)

Basic Wreath (18″ is an ideal size)
Smaller Boxwood Wreath (or any second wreath larger or smaller than 18″)
Floral Wire
Seeded Eucalyptus (purchase at a florist or grocery store) or Yard Clippings

Optional:

Instructions:

You’re going to love how quick and how beautiful this cheap to chic wreath makeover is!

If you bought a thrift store wreath, go ahead and remove any tacky decorations you don’t like. You can always save them for another craft or just pitch them.

Pair with Another Wreath:

To get a lot of impact, pair your wreath with a smaller or larger wreath. I used a smaller boxwood wreath to fill in the center. The nice thing is it fit tightly inside my faux pine wreath. You may need to use floral wire to secure the wreaths together.

Add Real Greenery:

To hide the tacky fake wreath, add in real greenery. Head to the floral section of your grocery store and look for seeded eucalyptus. If they don’t have any, ask them to order some for you. This was the cheapest route (unless you have a friend or neighbor with a eucalyptus tree.)

Don’t want to leave home? Head outside and scour your yard. Look for a variety of greenery! Cut some pine, spruce, juniper, magnolia, rosemary, or holly branches.

Hanging Your Wreath:

You can add a ribbon to hang your wreath from or create a loop using the floral wire. Hang your beautiful chic wreath on the door, over your fireplace, or anywhere you want some holiday cheer!

2 Minute Makeover for Your Cheap Wreath:

To show you how easy it is to transform your cheap thrift store wreath, watch my quick two-minute video.

Be sure you’re subscribed to my YouTube channel to get access to all my DIY tutorials.

I hope you enjoyed this easy cheap to chic wreath transformation and you’ll never give an ugly Christmas wreath a disgusted look again.

DIY Modern Floral Wreath

Modern wreaths are beautiful and simple in nature. Learn how to make your own DIY modern floral wreath and let me share how I saved money on flowers!

DIY Modern Floral Wreath

Originally I wanted this to be a spring wreath, but well…it’s summer now isn’t it? But, this wreath can still rock the spring and summer look.

I found this flower garland on clearance and decided it would be a more cost effective than buying lots of floral stems.

Materials:

(I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience. I earn a small percentage from a purchase using these links. There is no additional cost to you. You can read more about affiliate links here.)

Instructions:

Watch the video to make your own DIY Modern Floral Wreath or scroll down for the step-by-step instructions.

Gather your supplies (listed above.)

Use good wire cutting pliers to remove the flowers you want to use from a garland (or clip off the stems from your flowers.) Lay your ring on your work surface.

Layout some greenery as a base for the shape of your wreath.

Then fill with large and medium-size flowers.

Arrange and tuck in some smaller flowers to fill out the wreath.

To attach the flowers to the wreath use floral wire. You will probably want to wear garden gloves for this. I started out without the gloves and ended up drawing blood unnecessarily (live and learn, right?)

Twist the floral wire around each stem until it’s secured. Continue attaching flowers to the ring until all the flowers are secured.

You can use a ribbon to hang your wreath, but I like to use fishing line for a less frilly appearance.

Hang your wreath on the door, a wall, or anywhere you need to bring some Spring or Summer cheer!

DIY Faux Succulent Wreath

Make your own faux succulent wreath and add a little greenery to your home. Use a few supplies from the dollar store and this simple tutorial to make this beautiful DIY Faux Succulent Wreath!

DIY Faux Succulent Wreath

I’ve been itching to add a little more greenery to our home lately. It’s finally green outside, so I wanted to bring some of that green into the house too! I was digging around in my craft stash and found a whole bag of faux succulent stems. These were leftover from another DIY project from long ago and were taking up space in my craft closet.

This past weekend was the perfect time to use up those supplies and add some greenery to our home by creating a simple wreath. Let me show you how easy it is to make your own DIY faux succulent wreath with supplies that can be found at the dollar store or online (or in your stash)!

Materials:

(I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience. I earn a small percentage from a purchase using these links. There is no additional cost to you. You can read more about affiliate links here.)

I am using a grapevine wreath that I picked up several months ago from the dollar store, but I decided to paint it white for this project. If you prefer to leave yours natural, feel free to skip step 1.

Instructions:

Step 1- Spray paint grapevine wreath

Spray paint wreath form using a quality spray paint in the color of your choice. The best tip for painting a grapevine wreath is to spray from different angles, using short bursts of paint. This will help get the paint into all of the nooks and crannies. Keep in mind it may take several coats to get good coverage.

Step 2- Attach succulents to wire

If the succulents you are using have long stems you may not need the floral wire in this step. However, the wire does help secure them to the wreath form better.

To attach, simply wrap a piece of wire around the base of an artificial succulent. It may be necessary to use pliers to help with this step. Snip off excess wire with wire cutters. You will be left with something that looks like this.

Step 3- Arrange larger succulents onto the wreath

Attach the succulents to the wreath by either tucking the floral wire into the grapevine wreath or wrap around to the back of the wreath.

It’s best to place the larger succulents first to create a good foundation layout to work with.

Step 4- Add smaller faux succulent stems to fill in empty space

Once the larger succulents are placed, fill in any gaps with smaller succulents. You could also add in small sprays of artificial eucalyptus or even some moss. Be creative!

Step 5- Finish with a ribbon to hang

To finish off your faux succulent wreath, choose a ribbon to hang it with or just simply use some jute twine. Since my wreath is hanging on our DIY chalkboard, I chose just a simple organza ribbon with no bow. Finish it off how you’d prefer.

Personally I prefer my wreaths to be simple, so less is more. If you prefer filled out wreaths, then by all means, fill that baby up with all of the faux succulents!

Using multiple colors and styles of faux succulents will give you the best contrast and wow factor, so stock up on several varieties!

What started as a place to share updates with friends and family after we moved from Illinois to Tennessee and then to Texas, turned into a passion for finding creative and frugal ways to feed us and decorate our homes.

I have always had the “make it myself” attitude and I’m not afraid to bust out the power tools or get creative when it comes to decorating our home on a budget. You can usually find me scouring the local thrift stores, garage sales and estate sales looking for my next makeover (like this litter box cabinet), or dreaming up ways to make our new house feel more like home. My most recent project was giving my home office a much needed facelift. Some of the plans included creating a fun inspirational accent wall and adding pegboard to store my craft hoards.

I currently call Missouri home, where I live with my husband, dog, and 2 cats in a pretty dull, late 90’s split level. My husband and I both love to travel the U.S and recently purchased a small travel trailer to tag along in our journeys.
