DIY Wreaths, Decor it Yourself

Love the show! I was inspired to create a St. Valentine's Day wreath. I love to work with fabric, but I don't sew. But hot glue and I are very friendly! Here is what it looks like: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2052200&id=1172376175&l=8c779ad90e

Milo is adorable. seriously, I could watch him steal things (that he is supposed to be gnawing on) all day. LOVELOVE the moss wreath.

instead of using wine corks for mushrooms and cutting them, use champagne corks and paint the top and the bottom white with polka dots.

i really didnt like the two wreaths they showed in this episode but i like the pictures at the end of the other wreaths that they had done in the past. i want to learn how to do those!

(hope the pictures show up)

I helped my mom make this wreath. Her grandma used to make them every year :) you just get a plain wire wreath and then get floral wire and tie the candies on, then tie a pair of scissors to it and let people take what they want! it takes a while to make but its super cute!

the mushrooms where AWESOME!

the wreath is a little 2-D, but otherwise awsome

The very end was funny with your dog eating the moss lol

Meg, I LOVE the woodland scene with the mushrooms and moss. Really lovely episode. You gave us so much inspiration for our own wreaths.

seariously, i am really staring to worry about you guys... cause there is no friday episode, and i am wondering since saturday.... is everything okay?

Umm, where's fridays Episode??

The moss wreath IS really cute... and I really hate to be Ms. Negative, but the use of dried mosses for craft and floral purposes isn't sustainable. Moss grows slowly and it's rarely cultivated; most craft moss is collected from the wild. I'd recommend substituting clay or recycled Styrofoam bits painted green, or even bark and dried leaves from your yard or local park for that particular project.

I absolutely love them!!! But it's getting so hot over here in the southern hemisphere, that I think I'll take a time off from crafting and DIYing and lay my butt in the sun for a while.

mo depth! you are too funny meg! loved your wreath ideas!

Hi Meg!!! I love your show. I live in Brazil and we just "import" the Christmas ideas (summer... not snow...) but we have our new "lectures" about it!!! A lovely suggestion is a candy wreath, ordinary red and white candies are just adorable. Some covered wire, thread, lots of candies and hard work to fix the candies(you can cheat and use a glue gun and the result is fantastic!!!

I love the little cinnamon wreath - it'd be perfect for our kitchen here. ^_^ This year, we tried a really neat little idea. that my mother picked up out of a magazine. I went to the store and got some garland and a few other nik-naks (GLITTER!) and used it to decorate/hide our old chandelier in the dining room. I was lazy and used sore-bought garland, but I'm pretty sure it'd look better with live greenery.

wow this is really cool i think i will try one of these i like them 111111111111111

My family never did anything specific for Christmas except the infamous tree. But my boyfriend's family has the whole tradition. Now that I know more about it (I really was a novice, hard to believe I know), I'm just loving Christmas more and more. This is definitely something that I am going to try out. Thank you so much! For freshening up the house, I love to use pine needles, lavender and pine resin. In the UK, they have a program called "grow your own drugs". I believe they have a recipe for making the most delicious scent ever with pine related stuff. http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/20051/Grow_Your_Own_Drugs_s1e3/ This is the whole episode but just forward until you get to the pine recipe. It's a recipe for deodorant but if you alter it, you have a great smell for in the house... (in my opinion!). Thank you, Threadbanger for the wreath idea!

Really cute! My mum was thinking of making one but she had a hardtime figuring out what to use, I'll show her this episode! Thanks! Does anyone else also misses the links shown on the right used in the episode, like they used too?

How adorable are those?! Not as adorable as Milo, but they are a close second. I saw this recently, also super cute: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/12/how-to_vintage-style_wreath.html

My sister loves cinnamon. The smell, the taste. etc. I can totally make this for her as an early Christmas present. Also, instead of having to breaking apart a long cinnamon stick, you can buy small ones. I have a slew of them (they're great in coffee).

Aaaahh the little mushrooms are so adroable! The cinnamon stick wreath is a good idea... I may have to use that. I'm really not a winter person so I like to have nice warming scents around my place when I'm home. One of the things I did last year was leave a bunch of small pieces of orange peel laid out to dry overnight, then throw them in a vessel of some kind with whole cloves (I used a little wooden jar). Smells lovely! I like the idea of having different scents throughout the home rather than just one all over.

sry, but i can´t watch threadbanger these days oO the video doesen´t start and i ca´nt fix it

maybe something Hanukah-y for us Jewish people?

I know what I am doing this weekend... Milo no eating the moss poobear!

Awesome ideas! I can't wait to make my own. Great episode~!

Meg, Great wreaths!! You are the best!! Plus, Milo is a real cutie!!!

Meg does it again! She takes some simple staple and makes it amazing! LOVE the moss and mushrooms!

Most wreaths are so Pottery Barn looking. All the same and very suburban boring. These are cool, hip and lovely.

I never even liked wreaths, but you just showed us that they can be in your specific taste and so cool! The 'woodland' wreath is so beautiful, I love it. The cinnamon wreath is genius and Milo is the cutest:) You make the holidays classy.

i love this show but idont have an acount since im not old enough eventhough i saw this show over 3yrs

Meg! i simply loved the aromatic wreath! i saw, don't remember exactly when, a wreath made out of lavender flowers!!! another idea for a wonderful AND aromatic wreath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uoHWPNGUUs hope you like the idea!!! As i don't grow lavender here in Brazil... i have to keep with the cinnamon idea! Tchau!

Milo made the last scene the cutest and funniest one yet. Thanks, buddy!
