Create something beautiful to welcome your guests this holiday season.

Our crab apple wreath requires some time to construct, but will look absolutely amazing adorning your front door.

You’ll find fresh eucalyptus at your local florist and crab apples can be purchased at your local craft store.

If you prefer a more rustic look, use shrubs or branches from your own yard. Weave the branches through the frame and attach them with floral wire.

For additional color, we added crab apples supported by wire, but you could substitute them with ornaments you already have at home.

Finish the wreath with silver ribbon and natural jute to add a rustic touch of elegance, when hanging. You’ll have a professional looking wreath your guests will admire.
