Easy Triple Wreath

    It's time for another super simple décor project and this one will dress your front door in style for the holidays. Triple wreaths have become very popular in the last few years. Three festive wreaths, laced together, hanging in a row can be an elegant and welcoming addition to any home. They are featured in magazines and catalogs as the new darlings of holiday home decor. 
    Unfortunately, they are generally pretty pricey and while I enjoy adding a little Christmas sparkle to my cottage, I do not like complicated projects and I absolutely refuse to spend a lot of dough. 
    So this year, I decided to make my own. It’s a super easy DIY and one that doesn’t have to cost more than a few bucks or take more than a few minutes to put together. I promise.
    You will need three wreaths of any size, ribbon of your choice and a pair of scissors. Now many people, like myself, happen to have old wreaths hanging around, ghosts of Christmas decorating past. This is a great way to dust them off and repurpose them. Of course, if you don't have three handy, you can pick them up for a song at either the thrift shop, craft or dollar store. If unadorned, a few sale picks can jazz them up to suit your style.
    To lace them together, cut three even lengths of ribbon. I used a rustic ribbon that I picked up at the craft store for 40% off. The entire spool cost me less than $2.00. Fabulous. 
    Grab one piece, loop it around two wreaths and tie a basic knot. Repeat the process the join the second wreath to the third. Next, slide the knots around to the backside of the wreaths, so that they’re hidden under the branches. Tie one last loop on the top of your first wreath to hang it up, adding a bow if you desire, and you’re done.
    Personally, I am not a fan of those over the door hangers, I find that my door never closes properly and they’re visually distracting, so I use a magnet. I love the way the wreaths look like they're floating in the center of the door, but how you hang it up, is up to you. It’s your home and decorating with what you love is the name of the game. 
    Keep in mind that this project would look equally as sweet with berry wreaths, twig wreaths, even three wooden stars. It would also look lovely inside your home, decorating windows or interior doors. You could even create ornaments or gift tags looping miniature objects together in threes. 
    As with most of my projects, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. I say have fun, get the kids involved, make it personal and let the decorating begin. 

Happy Holidays!
