I have been seeing wreaths like this all over and it is time I made my own. These wreaths are crazy expensive! I couldn’t believe the prices. I have seen them on websites like Anthropologie, Terrain, and smaller boutique shop pages. They are all well over $100 – closer to $200. There is no way I would pay for that because it is so easy to DIY. I’ll show you how to create your own DIY Christmas village wreath with thrifted items and a bit of creativity. You’ll have a festive wreath that looks high-end without breaking the bank.

What You’ll Need:
Here’s what I used to create my DIY Christmas village wreath. I linked similar products to what I used, but keep your eye out at thrift stores for the wreath and houses too.
- Flocked wreath: Look for a sturdy wreath with a good base for attaching your decorations.
- Miniature wooden houses: These are perfect for turning into a little Christmas village.
- Bottlebrush trees: Add a vintage, festive feel to your wreath with these tiny trees.
- Paint: Whatever color you love!
- Paint marker: To add details to your houses.
- Hot glue gun: For attaching the trees to the wreath.
- Floral Wire: For attaching houses to wreath.
- Eye Hooks: To put on the back of your wood houses so they are easy to hang with the floral wire.
- Ribbon: Optional, for hanging or adding a decorative bow.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your DIY Christmas Village Wreath:
- Paint the Wooden Houses
Start by painting your wooden houses. I went with a green theme and Gabrielle came in with a white paint marker and made all the details. I am always happy when she wants to help me! - Prep Your Wreath
To make sure the base of your DIY Christmas village wreath is perfect, make sure you fluff it before adding anything to it. - Attach the Wooden Houses
Once your houses are dry, screw in the eye hooks to the back. Then, use the floral write to attach to the wreath. Arrange them however you like—whether clustered or evenly spread out for balance. - Add the Bottle Brush Trees
Hot glue the bottle brush trees next to your wooden houses to create a cozy Christmas village scene. - Finishing Touches
Add any other embellishments you like! A bow, extra greenery, faux snow, or a touch of glitter will give your wreath a wintry sparkle.
