Basket Wreath – You can use a trapper basket and put the assortment of twigs, fruits, flowers, or leaves inside it. You can even use an old plaid bag filling it with faux crabapples and fresh greens.
Gift Wreath – Take a foam wreath and use hot glue to attach gift bows and larger gift boxes, ensuring that between them there is a space. Use more bows and small boxes of gifts to fill in empty spaces and create a gift wreath.
Potpourri Wreath – Again take a wreath form and attach large pieces of potpourri to it by using hot glue.
