Luxury outside door wreath?

25 replies

Please does anyone have any suggestions for an outside door wreath?

Mine came down from the loft tonight. It's completely disintegrated. Half the bits fallen off. To be fair my husband did have it when I met him. 22 years ago. So it has faired well!

Here are my two indoor ones : that I've had from Costco, about 10 years ago.

And here is the sorry old one!

Which is the disintegrated one? They all look really great to me.

They look great to me!!

4 clumps of green have fallen off. And 4 of the pairs of red balls.

These bits fell off, plus 2 more pairs of red balls that got trampled on and are thus already in the bin.

Hang it so the red balls are at the bottom, it’ll look fine.

Oblomov20 · 01/12/2020 20:05

The outdoor one has got plastic fatigue and more of the green bits are literally hanging on!

So, I was looking for an outdoor wreath.

I only showed you my 2 indoor Costco ones so you'd know what I already had, ie hoped to buy an outdoor one similar/ of same colour scheme.

Look on luisa zissmans Instagram she makes her own massive ones and has a tutorial to show how she makes them

thelegohooverer · 01/12/2020 20:42

A glue gun will sort it if you have one. They’re really lovely.

Not in U.K. so I’m no help with recommendations

merlotormalbec · 01/12/2020 22:15

I brought a beautiful one from JL! They have a great selection

I like this one, www.notonthehighstreet.com/dibor/product/handmade-christmas-snow-dusted-luxury-wreath?referredBy=plp we have a partly made one, this year will be the year I finish it.

foreverandalways · 01/12/2020 22:32

Make ur own

Oblomov20 · 07/12/2020 09:30

Update.
I did order one.
From not-on-the-high-street.

But in the meantime, I repaired my old one.
I don't want to throw it away. I care bare to. My mil was totally lovely and this is one of the few things that we have left from her.

But as I was repairing it, because of plastic fatigue, new bits were falling off as quick as I could put the old bits on!

None-the-less, even though I'm rubbish as crafty bits, I used superglue, cable ties, long ones and short ones, thread, 2 x secateurs and 2 x pliers from Dh. Quite proud of myself!

That looks lovely OP, done a good job there! 🙂

Oblomov20 · 07/12/2020 11:39

Thank you Horsemad. I am so very very bad at craft things, so I think I did well.

I always get mine from Tesco. They are huge and £10-£12.00. I then kit them out at home with baubles and a ribbon. I’ll add the image later!

Lndnmummy · 07/12/2020 12:07

Oh OP yours look lovely!

OatcakeCravings · 07/12/2020 16:10

Stupid question alert! I want one for my front door but how do they stay put? I live in the North of Scotland it can be really windy!

Oblomov20 · 07/12/2020 17:56

Depends what kind of door you've got oatcake.
What knobs it's got!
Or some people buy an actual wreath hanger.

I bought a handmade felt one from Etsy, it’s beautiful and keeps well in the loft!

pandora206 · 07/12/2020 22:20

I've made my own the last couple of years, having signed up to a local workshop. This year's is next Saturday so can't show a picture but this is one I made last year.

You can find lots of YouTube videos on how to do it yourself.

@xoxogossipgirl2020
Your wreath is beautiful.

Oblomov20 · 13/12/2020 16:34

Agreed. I love both your wreaths.

My not on the high street one arrived and was totally underwhelming. So I'm sending it back.

I've decided to stick with my repaired lovely mil one.
