DIY Winter Wreath with Skis

Looking for a winter wreath that doesn’t scream HOLIDAYS?! Don’t miss this pretty DIY winter wreath that could easily remain on the door from early December to Valentine’s!

The first of year is always a design challenge for me…I tend to decorate around holidays a bit more than season, so I don’t have a lot of plain “winter” decor. Since I get a bit obsessed with organizing and purging after the busy holiday season the clean, empty spaces INSIDE the house work well until it’s time to pull out Valentine’s decor, but I cannot handle a bare front door.

The weather in Utah is dry enough that the live wreath I put out in late November is starting to drop it’s needles, so when I was approached to join several friends in sharing a winter wreath that didn’t carry a holiday theme I was “in.” Today I am sharing instructions for my DIY winter wreath, along with five other wreaths that you’re going to LOVE.

DIY Winter Wreath

This past Christmas holiday my house was decorated to the rafters with gnomes of every size, including a giant gnome on the front porch. I loved it, but I’ve already determined that next year I want to take a bit of a different direction and had been leaning toward more of a ski lodge theme.

Not only do I have the perfect wreath for January, but I’m getting a good jump on next year’s porch decor with the fun grapevine project I’m sharing with you today. My DIY winter wreath incorporates a pair of silver skis, along with a pretty mountain themed banner. The best part? Next year I can put this wreath up in late November and it will carry through until I am ready to put out my Valentine’s decor.

What you will need to create your own winter wreath:

Most of the items included on my wreath were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I have provided a direct affiliate link wherever possible so that you can easily shop and create!

I try to purchase all of the items I buy at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. The floral stems go on sale for 50% off every two weeks. Ribbon is on sale for 30-50% off every two weeks, as well.

How to recreate this DIY winter wreath:

  1. Start your DIY winter wreath with a plain grapevine wreath form. If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know I love to use a grapevine wreath base (here’s a winter wreath I created for my mom’s home last year!). They’re so easy to create with and you’re not going to have a saggy wreath falling apart on your door.

  2. Layer greenery and vines starting with the largest items first. On this wreath, I started with the largest pieces of my white statice spray (I also used this in my summer flamingo wreath – it has the look of snow and coral!).

  3. Add focal items to the wreath after all the stems are placed. I found the silver skis mounted on my wreath in the clearance section at Target. It’s the perfect addition to my wreath and gives it a real “winter” touch.
  4. Add any ribbon to your wreath. Sometimes I go all out and add two types of ribbon, like I did on this DIY winter wreath, but other wreaths like the Valentine’s wreath I made last year (which happens to be my most popular wreath), or this fall wreath don’t require any additional fuss.

  5. I also added an optional centerpiece to this DIY winter wreath. I like the additional privacy it provides with my very open glass front door, plus it helps carry the winter ski theme…It’s a simple blank canvas banner dressed up with some silver glitter vinyl cut on my Cricut. I had used the “Take Me to the Mountains” cut file previously on a t-shirt. You can download the cut file for use with this wreath or any old thing below!

    Your winter wreath is perfect! I must have it. I love how the velvety greenery combined with the white statice and delicate white beads speak to the softness of winter, instead of the frozen chill. Your choice of the buffalo check ribbon is genius.

      Wow, Judy. Thank you so very much for your sweet comment! I think with the country in a deep freeze we could all use a little more soft and a little less chill! xo Tauni
