DIY Mistletoe Wreath

This is such a fun, easy, and inexpensive wreath to make. I love the tradition of kissing under the Mistletoe. When I went to make this wreath, I was curious about where this tradition came from. I did a little ‘google research’ and found that Mistletoe has been around for ages. According to Wikipedia, Mistletoe is relevant to several cultures. It is associated with Christmas as a decoration, under which lovers are expected to kiss.

Mistletoe was associated with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by the 18th century, it had also become incorporated into Christmas celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is referred to in late 18th century England: the serving class of Victorian England is credited with perpetuating the tradition. The tradition dictated that a man was allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss. One variation on the tradition stated that with each kiss a berry was to be plucked from the mistletoe, and the kissing must stop after all the berries had been removed.

This is a Christmas tradition that I think is really fun and cute. I have been loving this DIY Mistletoe Wreath I made for my house. It only took me 5 minutes to put together and was very inexpensive. Here’s how I made it.

DIY Mistletoe Wreath

Instructions

I got a 16″ wicker wreath in natural color. Then I bought a ball/ornament of mistletoe. Next, I simply attached the mistletoe ball to the wicker wreath using a ribbon and hung it on my door. Profound I know. I love simplicity.

Supply List

16″ wicker wreath in natural- Can be found in most craft stores.  (A white one can be found here.)

Mistletoe Ornament around 5″

Ribbon (I used one similar to this). Although ribbon may not be necessary if the mistletoe already has ribbon on it.

Merry Christmas.

SWIPE for before. Want to know how to choose an Ex SWIPE for before. Want to know how to choose an Exterior Paint Color for a Garage Door?

Choosing to paint your garage doors is an inexpensive way to update your home and make it feel renewed and fresh. 

I had a nice garage door color but felt like it needed an overhaul —especially because we lime washed our brick white and the color of the off-white garage door color clashed with the lime wash.
