Tinsel Garland Wreath

Can you believe it’s December already? Christmas is just around the corner and I could not be more excited! And traveling on a cruise ship for the holidays makes things even more exciting and challenging. As you can imagine, I don’t have the freedom to decorate as much as I would back home. But I thought a little tinsel garland wreath would be a nice addition to the small space in our cabin, without overwhelming it.

I love decorating for holidays and Christmas in particular, it’s one of my most favorite holiday. When I’m home, I love to bake and craft Christmas stuff like it’s nobody’s business! But on the ship, my creativity is very limited, simply because I don’t have the supplies to create whatever I want. And also the ship is not my home, I can’t just monkey around with decorations. I have to limit myself to small stuff and this tinsel garland wreath seemed like a great choice.

Imagine this pretty, fluffy, shiny little tinsel garland wreath hanging at our otherwise sad door ( cause let’s face it, a hotel is not the most warm and homey place on earth). And it’s so easy and simple to make! You only need a few things: tinsel, a willow wreath, a couple of safety pins and a couple of Christmasy decorations which are totally optional. The wreath would look just as great only with tinsel.

Using a small willow wreath as a base for this tinsel garland wreath makes this craft light and easy to hang anywhere in the house. I like that this wreath doesn’t take up much space, making it perfect for small spaces and it brightens up any room thanks to its silver color and the snowflakes which reflect the light and change color; really cute feature! It also adds a little pop of color due to the red-ish Christmas ornaments I chose to embellish my wreath with.
