If we’re being honest, there’s one very specific kind of home decor craft that we’ve been totally obsessed with for years, all year round. Door wreaths are, for reasons we can’t even explain, one of our very favourite things in the world to make! Winter time is no exception to that, especially with all of the possibilities that the holidays bring, so we’re always on the lookout for new DIY winter door wreath designs that we’ve never tried before.

Are you feeling just as enthusiastic as we are, if not more, about the idea of making your very own winter door wreath this winter? Check out these 15 fantastic ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration and guidance!
