HGTV’s Emily Henderson Shows Us How To DIY A Beautiful Classic Christmas Wreath


Starting with the base, Emily Henderson used a store-bought wreath. Though the exact one isn’t available, you could use the Artificial Juniper Wreath from Target instead. Look for one with branches that stick out to look natural, and be sure to consider the size of the wreath in relation to where you want to hang it. Henderson hung her wreaths on her kitchen windows, and the decoration took up about ¾ of the top pane.

In the middle of each wreath, she hung pieces of blue and white striped silk taffeta that she cut into pieces that were about 6 to 8 inches wide and at least 15 inches long. Mood Fabrics has similar options, including the Striped Basketweave and Navy Barcode Stripes materials. You can also purchase rolls of velvet ribbon and cut them between 12 and 15 inches long, like the Christmas Dark Red Velvet Ribbon from Joann. Once you’ve gathered your fabrics and ribbons, tie them all to the top middle of the wreath, allowing them to cascade down the middle.

Henderson also attached one Flocked Finial Christmas Tree Ornament from Target in the middle of each wreath. These add both texture and an interesting shape to the design. She finished the project by wrapping Dewdrop Twinkling Fairy String Lights from Target around the greenery. Use battery-operated lights and hide the battery pack behind the greenery, as this will make it easier to hang the wreath wherever you desire.
