Want to make sure your guests feel your warm welcome even before they ring the doorbell? Hang a welcome wreath on your front door. Even better, make the wreath yourself! A handmade wreath tells your guests that you value them, and that you want their visit to be filled with JOY.
Wreaths have long been regarded as symbols of happiness, celebration, and hope. Ancient Greeks and Romans popularised them, even sometimes adorning their heads with these wreaths to signify status or victory.
Today, a wreath hanging on a front door has become a symbol of friendship and openness. It becomes even more special when you make it yourself. (It’s easier than you think!)

“But I don’t want to go out just to buy materials for my wreath,” you might say. That’s alright, neither do we. All you need to do is look around your house and backyard. You can make a beautiful wreath out of spare buttons, leftover grosgrain ribbon, some hessian fabric (the FIGS & FETA home store carries ribbon and hessian fabric), dried leaves, fallen flowers, pine cones, twigs.
These are the materials you’ll need:
A wreath of polystyrene ring (lacking this, you can make a ring out of crumpled paper)
Faux hessian or soft hessian fabric
Glue gun
Grosgrain ribbon
Trimmings of your choice
Follow these steps:
- If you are using the firm hessian fabric (available at FIGS & FETA home store), cut it into 10cm strips and begin wrapping around the wreath nice and tight. Overlap ends to keep the fabric wound tight around the wreath.
- Wrap the wreath until it is entirely covered. Adhere the end using the hot glue gun. As we always say, “Hot glue guns are HOT,” so take caution as glue will seep through the hessian.
- Wrap some soft hessian to cover the end of the fabric. To further secure the end, take some ribbon and tie it around the overlap. This will then give you access to hang the wreath.
- You are now set to decorate as you please. Would you like to use fallen leaves and flowers? Dried weeds and twigs? Crystals, buttons, and other odds and ends? The possibilities are endless!
