I've always thought wreaths make such a great DIY project. First, they are fairly easy and generally inexpensive to do. You generally need a new one for every season, or even for specific holidays, which means you need a handful in stock for every occasion. Since it doesn't stay on the door for more than a few months it is totally fine to use the same wreath each year, so you get good use out of the wreath and don't get bored by the style.

In the past, though, I've never made my own winter wreath. I have one that I made for around Valentine's day, and after that I switch to my spring wreath. My nieces and nephews are always selling wreaths at Christmas time, so I have always bought one to support them and make it easy on myself. However, this year presented a bit of a problem. Our new house has a glass door in front of the front door, sort of like a screen door, so we have been hanging the wreath between the two doors. This has worked fine up until now, but the sun baked our fresh evergreen wreath and within a week or so it was dry, brittle and brown. My dad even pointed out that it was a potential fire hazard! We immediately took it down and have been wreath-less since.

I love all of the following DIY's because they are beautiful, slightly un-traditional, glamorous and modern. Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

This wreath is literally one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen. Call me basic but I adore succulents and the way they are used on this wreath makes me swoon. Making this wreath is not for the faint of heart- both the price tag and the amount of effort will not be small. However, for how beautiful this wreath is I think it is definitely worth it! The good news is the wreath is living, so as long as you take good care of it you can keep it up year long. Or, find some realistic looking fake succulents and make it no maintenance!

There are a few things that make this wreath one of my favorite DIY's: first, the color is super gorgeous and would look beautiful on almost any color front door. The berries and color are perfect for winter, but I like that it doesn't scream "Christmas!!" You can definitely use this wreath into the new year- the color would actually look gorgeous for Valentine's Day! However, my favorite things about this wreath is how cheap the supplies are and how quick it is to make! Only 15 minutes to make a huge impact on your front door :)

A starburst is such an iconic mid-century modern shape, and this wreath shows it looks great in any part of the house!! This wreath is cozy and rustic but the shape keeps it chic and modern, which is the perfect combination of styles.
