Another quick holiday decor project is this DIY branch wreath (that only takes about 10 minutes to whip out). You can stick with one type of branch like olive, juniper, evergreen, cedar, pine or eucalyptus or do a mix.

For something more playful, we love this DIY yarn wreath (which takes about only 2 hours to complete). You can choose any colored yarn so that it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Christmas wreaths project. Use orange yarn for a Halloween wreath or pink yarn for a Valentine’s wreath.
