5 affordable wreaths for your home
Nothing is more simple, yet elegant, than a wreath. And if you’re on a budget, consider making a simple statement. In fact, with very little investment, you can make your own. Pick up a few leftover branches from a neighborhood store (those bottom branches they cut off are often cast aside), buy a simple frame and some wire, and make it a family project.
