My DIY Snowy Day Wreath was inexpensive and easy to put together. Watch my video above to see how simple it was to assemble. Don’t you love buying marked down goods after holidays? I pulled old hot glue strands from a recycled grapevine wreath to start things off. The pine cone picks, Snowball Fight fur snowballs, and a $2 tartan green bow were purchased from Walmart’s after Christmas sale. The wooden village house was part of a set bought from Target’s after Christmas sale. The finished wreath became the centerpiece for my Hello Winter Snowy Mantle.

Materials for DIY Snowy Day Wreath

  • grapevine wreath
  • wooden village house
  • white spray paint
  • black spray paint
  • green floral wire
  • wire cutters
  • pine cone picks
  • fur/fabric snowballs
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • tartan bow
  • cigarette lighter or matches
  • scissors- pinking shears or fabric and craft
  • fishing wire

Instructions for Assembly

Spray paint the wooden house with White.
Spray spots and speckles with Black to give the wooden house a “peppercorn” finish.
Cut an 18″ piece of green floral wire.
Tie the house to the side of the DIY Snowy Day Wreath with the floral wire. Make a tight knot. Slide several pine cone floral picks into the grapevine wreath above and below the wooden village house.
Hot glue the snowballs near the bottom of the wooden house.
Slide another 18″ piece of green floral wire through the middle of the tartan bow. Tie it tightly to the grapevine wreath at the 2 o’clock position.
Fold the ribbon in half and cut downward with the pinking shears at the bottom of each bow tail.
Burn the edges with a lighter to prevent fraying. Arrange the ribbon. I usually place a few folds in each ribbon tail.

    I just love this winter wreath! I’m really into those little wooden houses this winter season, and I also have some of those snowballs. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm. xo Kathleen
