    Holly Berry DIY Ribbon Christmas Wreath

    Updated: Nov 25, 2017 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 10 Comments

    This Holly Berry DIY Ribbon Christmas Wreath is so simple to make! Invite a few friends over to make one and have a Holiday Crafternoon!  This project is sponsored by Make It Fun Crafts, all ideas, work, opinions and crazy ideas are 100% mine.

     

    Holly Berry DIY Christmas Wreath made with ribbon, styrofoam balls, felt and glitter

    A long time ago one of my girls had the cutest Christmas outfit. It had red and white striped leggings and a red top with holly berries embroidered on it.  I loved that little outfit.  I think I especially loved the stripes. The wreath I’m going to show you how to make today is inspired by that little outfit from so many years ago.

    The folks at  Make it Fun Crafts emailed me and challenged me to make a craft from their Holiday E-Book and add a bit of my own personality to it.

    I chose to make the holly berries featured in the book, but instead of attaching them to gift tags I added them to a Make it Fun Foam Wreath Form wrapped in striped red ribbon to make this Holly Berry DIY Christmas Wreath.
