Seasonal décor is one of those sneaky expenses that can add up quickly. Each time the holidays roll around, stores have aisle after aisle of ready-made decorations with hefty price tags. Spending a bunch of money on something you'll hang for just a few weeks can feel frustrating. Instead, why not pull off something of your own? It could be just as charming and use materials you may already own or can buy for just a few dollars. That's where this DIY wreath comes in. It's perfect if you've recently decided to stop using wire clothes hangers, since you can adorn one in jute and satin ribbon.

This project is not only budget-friendly but also quick and easy to complete. It's perfect for crafters of all skill levels. You don't need any hot glue, fancy wire, or specialty tools. The result of this DIY is a piece of décor that feels personalized, seasonal, and cozy without putting a dent in your wallet. Get yourself a plain wire hanger from the closet. Then, if you don't already have ribbon at home, head to Dollar Tree. Pick up a roll of wide Floral Garden Polyester Burlap Ribbon and Floral Garden Solid-Color Ribbon in your hue of choice. If you're not into using ribbon, you can repurpose packing paper into a gorgeous wreath for any season.

Making this wreath is very simple. Start by gathering your supplies and untwisting your wire hanger until it's straight. Thread strips of jute ribbon onto the wire, gathering and bunching them as you go. This creates the ruffled, textured effect of the finished wreath. Continue threading on the ribbon until the hanger is nearly full. Bend the wire hanger back into a circle and twist the ends together to secure them. The jute ribbon alone creates a rustic, full-bodied wreath. To finish, tie a ribbon at the top of the wreath, where the wires join. Opt for a burnt orange ribbon for fall décor, a red and white ribbon for winter, or a pastel-toned ribbon for Easter.

For extra polish, leave the longer ribbon tails hanging down or tuck in sprigs of greenery, dried flowers, or small pinecones for added personality. You can even swap out the Dollar Tree burlap ribbon for inexpensive Golden Cock Jute Burlap Wedding Ribbon. The beauty of this DIY is how versatile it is. You don't have to buy a new wreath each season. The base stays the same, but you change out the bow and accents to suit the season you're celebrating. For example, if you're not into the look of jute or burlap, thread old Christmas tree ornaments onto the wire hanger instead. This saves you both money and storage space while giving your home a handmade touch.
