10 Christmas Wreath Ideas To Make Even If You’re Traveling For The Holidays
Traveling during the holiday season doesn’t mean you have to miss out on festive decorations! Creating a personalized Christmas wreath is a fun and easy way to bring the cheer of the holidays with you, wherever you might be heading. From orange slices to cute trucks, each of these 10 wreath ideas is designed to be simple yet beautiful, perfect for making your temporary space feel like home this Christmas.
1. Orange Christmas Wreath
Oranges aren’t just great for a quick snack; they also make fantastic decorations for a Christmas wreath! This idea involves drying orange slices and attaching them to a wreath form. The dried oranges give off a natural, sweet aroma and their vibrant color really pops against the green of the wreath.
You can dry the slices in an oven on a low heat before you leave for your trip and assemble the wreath when you arrive at your destination. This wreath is not only pretty but also gives a touch of a traditional holiday feel with a citrus twist.
2. With a Cute Truck
Adding a cute truck ornament to your Christmas wreath can give it a fun and festive look. Choose a small toy truck, preferably in red or green, and secure it to the center or side of your wreath.
You can surround the truck with greenery and a few small, wrapped presents to create a scene of delivering Christmas gifts. This design is especially appealing if you’re traveling to a place where you’re missing the comforts of home; it adds a whimsical, nostalgic element to your decorations.
3. With Red Berry Branches
Red berry branches are perfect for adding a splash of color and texture to your Christmas wreath. You can find artificial berry branches at most craft stores, which are ideal for traveling as they won’t wilt.
Intertwine the branches with the wreath’s greenery, distributing them evenly around the circle. The red berries will stand out beautifully, creating a classic holiday look that’s also very easy to assemble wherever you are.
4. With Pine Cones
Pine cones are a classic addition to any Christmas wreath and bring a rustic touch to your holiday decor. Attach a few pine cones of varying sizes to your wreath with floral wire.
To add an extra touch, you might want to dust the tips of the pine cones with a little bit of white paint or glitter to mimic the look of fresh snow. This idea is great because pine cones are lightweight and easy to pack in your luggage.
5. With Gold Baubles
Gold baubles can make your Christmas wreath look elegant and festive. Choose different sizes of gold baubles and attach them to your wreath in a pattern that you like.
The shiny gold color looks stunning against a backdrop of greenery, and the baubles reflect the light beautifully, creating a warm, inviting glow. This design is easy to customize and can be assembled quickly, making it perfect for a holiday traveler.
6. With Pine Cones And Red Berries
Combining pine cones and red berries in your Christmas wreath offers the best of both worlds: texture and color. Start by attaching pine cones around the wreath, then fill in the gaps with clusters of red berries.
This combination is not only visually appealing but also durable, making it ideal for packing and traveling. The mix of these natural elements captures the essence of the winter season in a simple, yet beautiful design.
7. With A Cute Wooden Sign
Personalize your wreath with a cute wooden sign that says something like “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.” You can usually find these signs at craft stores, or you can make your own before your trip. Attach the sign to the wreath with some wire or strong glue. This addition makes your wreath unique and can also serve as a lovely welcome sign for any place you’re staying during the holidays.
8. With A Wooden Reindeer
A wooden reindeer can add a rustic and adorable touch to your Christmas wreath. Place the reindeer in the center or off to one side of the wreath. You can combine this with other elements like small pine cones or white berries to enhance the woodland feel. This look is not only cute but also easy to set up, making your holiday setting feel cozy and cheerful.
9. With A Burlap Bow
A burlap bow offers a charming and rustic look for your Christmas wreath. Tie a large burlap bow at the top or bottom of your wreath for a country-chic feel. The texture of burlap pairs nicely with greenery and any other decorations like pine cones or small fruits. This style is super easy to pack and quick to fix up, perfect for giving your temporary holiday home a touch of rustic elegance.
10. With A Velvet Bow
For a more luxurious look, add a richly colored velvet bow to your Christmas wreath. Choose a deep red, green, or even gold velvet ribbon to create a large bow. Attach it prominently on your wreath to make a bold statement. The softness of the velvet is a lovely contrast to the crisp greenery, offering a touch of sophistication to your holiday decor. Plus, velvet ribbons pack easily and can be fluffed up to restore their shape, making them ideal for travel.
