How to Make Your Own Homemade Christmas Wreaths
One of my favorite traditions during the Holiday season is taking a day to decorate the house. While it may feel like a chore for some, I have always enjoyed putting a lot of creativity and effort into my décor this time of year.
Personalizing the front door wreath is one of my favorite ways to help set our home apart from others in the neighborhood. Years ago, people would put wreaths on their front door featuring different floral arrangements or crafts to identify their individual families and house—similar to the way we use house numbers today. Once I learned this, I couldn’t wait to create a few different Christmas wreaths for my friends and neighbors!
The wreaths shown below were inspired by each recipient’s hobby, but you could create one for just about anything—a new baby, a friend’s favorite movie or even a family’s heritage.

I love the wreath with the fresh roses. Will it hold up outdoors (on a porch) in freezing temperatures?
So glad you like the wreath! Yes, it will hold up outdoors very nicely, as long as the temperatures don’t go below freezing! The perfect temperature for holding fresh cut flowers for maximum longevity is 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit.
One suggestion would be to start off by displaying and enjoying the wreath inside and when the roses start to dry up a bit move it to an outside location. It’s the moisture in the roses that actually freeze.
