Hello Sweet Friends,
Today’s DIY is an Anthropologie Christmas wreath dupe. I just love the wreath and I’ve seen different DIY variations of it on Pinterest. So I decided that I would like to create something similar for myself.
Most of the supplies I needed for this project were already in my craft stash; a Michael’s clearance wreath, a Target village garland, some bottlebrush trees, etc. After grabbing a few more supplies from the craft store, I was good to go.
The original wreath was a little more colorful, but I decided to go with a more neutral look. It might have been because the little village garland that I had was in neutral colors.
Follow along to see my take on this beautiful wreath. I’ve included a supply list and step-by-step instructions.
Supplies needed
- artificial Christmas wreath
- 6 – 8 miniature houses, I used a village garland that I had on hand
- 10 – 12 bottlebrush trees of various sizes
- small pinecones, berries, other embellishments
- ribbon
- glue gun
- scissors
Let’s get started
The clearance wreath was in desperate need of a little fluffing. So that was my first step for this project. And by fluffing, I mean going branch by branch and bending them to make the wreath look fuller.
When I thought the wreath looked “fluffy” enough, I was ready to add the little houses. I cut them off of the string and arranged them onto the wreath in a pleasing manner.
Using a glue gun, I added the houses to the wreath.
Here’s what the wreath looked like so far.
Next, I arranged the bottle brush trees onto the wreath. Instead of glueing them, I twisted a branch of the wreath around the base of each tree.
Here’s how the Christmas wreath looks so far. I think it’s already looking pretty good.
Then I glued some mini pinecones around on the wreath in any spot that I thought looked good.
At this point, I thought the wreath needed a few more trees. So I used what I had on hand instead; a few snow-flocked greenery stems. I just cut them into individual stems and glued them into the wreath where I thought it looked good.
And here is the wreath thus far.
Final touches on the Anthropologie Christmas wreath dupe
I was nearly finished at this point. But I decided to add some white berries and a small bow at the base. And I was very pleased with the results.
Didn’t this wreath turn out fantastic? I think I like it better than the original.
And here’s a display idea for the Christmas wreath indoors.
The inspiration wreath was pre-lit so I’m thinking about adding a strand of battery-operated lights to the wreath. But other than that, I think it’s PERFECT! (If you like the 34th ST. sign, it was a Amazon find. Here’s my affiliate link https://amzn.to/4fXL5k7 )
I hope project inspires you to create something beautiful for your home this holiday season.
Until next time…….. Happy Crafting!
