Instead of the traditional evergreen, try a homemade wreath of citrus fruits. Start with a circular piece of florist's foam, then use wooden florist's picks to secure large items, such as oranges, first. Continue with smaller fruit―kumquats, clementines, limes. Tie with a thick velvet ribbon.

This all-green wreath is made from scratch, but you can also start with a store-bought wreath and add succulents. A smaller version makes a beautiful centerpiece placed on the table, with votives in the center.

Start with a wire wreath frame and add spruce, olive, eucalyptus, manzanita, and Berzelia branches. Finish with echeveria succulents for a gorgeous living wreath. Follow our complete DIY guide for making a fresh succulent wreath, including a video and step-by-step instructions.

With a bit of spray paint, you can transform a wreath into something befitting a winter wonderland. Pick up a generic wreath (we used a pinecone option) and spray paint it at home. (You may want to do a few coats to make sure everything is covered.) If desired, tuck in a few colorful accents for contrast.

Decorate a eucalyptus wreath with paper flowers. They'll never die—or even wilt—so you'll have a long-lasting, year-round wreath. Stick with one color palette to keep it cohesive, or mix it up for a more festive look.

Dress up a grapevine wreath base with rose hips, real flowers, and fresh fruit. (This wreath won't last forever, so plan to make it just before you expect visitors or have a nice family meal planned.) Go with botanicals that dry nicely, like hydrangeas and amaranthus, and include a few small quinces.
