OK, ya'll. If you're like me and can't justify spending money on yourself when Christmas is right around the corner, this is the perfect inexpensive DIY wreath to decorate your boring door. I bought all of the supplies from the Dollar Tree and spent a grand total of $5.44, including tax. This doesn't include my glue gun or ribbon that I already had.

For the base, I bought one for $1 at the Dollar Tree, or you can take an existing wreath that you don't like and strip it down. I picked out some shimmery ribbon and wrapped it around the base and hot glued the ends down where the flowers would go. I cut the poinsettias and pine cones to separate them and then individually started threading the wire stem through the branches in the wreath and wrapped the remaining stem around the back of the wreath and twisted in. It's a bit tricky at first, but play around with it. As far as getting the statue to stay, hot glue is your best friend. Luckily, the owl statue was hollow, so it wasn't too heavy. Also hot glue any stems or pieces that are loose.
