How to Make the Most of Your Wreath Kit Supplies

Wreath-making is a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your home decor. With a monthly wreath kit, you receive all the essentials to craft a beautiful design—but what happens when you finish your project and have leftover supplies? Don’t let those extra ribbons, mesh, or embellishments go to waste! In this blog, we’ll explore creative ways to make the most of your wreath kit supplies, inspire alternate designs, and encourage you to think outside the box for personalized creations.

1. Save and Store for Future Projects

Before diving into new ideas, start by organizing your leftovers. Ribbons can be neatly rolled and stored, mesh can be secured with a clip, and smaller embellishments can be sorted into containers. Having a stash of leftovers means you’ll have the perfect items to experiment with on future projects.

2. Create Mini Wreaths or Candle Rings

Got a few scraps of ribbon, mesh, or greenery? Use them to make smaller wreaths! These mini designs are perfect for:

• Candle Rings: Wrap your leftover ribbon and small florals around a grapevine or wire ring to create a charming candle centerpiece.
• Gift Wrap Decorations: Attach a mini wreath to gift bags or boxes for a festive touch.
• Door Knob Accents: Hang them on cabinet doors or as small seasonal accents around your home.

3. Turn Ribbons into Bows

Leftover ribbons are a treasure trove of possibilities. Use them to craft bows that can be used for:

• Holiday Gift Wrapping: Add a touch of luxury to your presents.
• Garlands: Tie bows onto greenery, lights, or banisters to add charm to your home decor.
• Hair Accessories: Turn smaller ribbons into hair bows for kids or festive accessories for yourself!

4. Make Coordinating Decor

Use your extra supplies to extend the theme of your wreath throughout your home. For example:

• Table Centerpieces: Wrap deco mesh or ribbon around a vase or mason jar for a cohesive look.
• Swag or Garland: Leftover mesh and ribbons can easily be turned into a matching swag for your mantle or staircase.
• Napkin Rings: Create ribbon loops or tie small embellishments to bring the wreath theme to your dining table.

5. Design Alternate Wreaths

If you didn’t use all the materials in your kit, why not try an alternate wreath design? Mix and match leftovers from different kits or add them to a plain grapevine or wire frame you already have. You can:

• Experiment with different layering techniques for mesh.
• Combine ribbons from various seasons for a unique, transitional design.
• Add personal touches like monograms or seasonal ornaments to make it your own.

6. Incorporate Leftovers into Other Crafts

Wreath supplies don’t have to stay on wreaths. Here are some other crafts you can try:

• Ornaments: Wrap leftover ribbon around foam balls to create custom ornaments.
• Picture Frames: Use mesh and embellishments to decorate plain frames.
• Bookmarks: Ribbon scraps make lovely and functional bookmarks for yourself or as gifts.

7. Host a Craft Night

Why not share the fun with friends or family? Invite them over for a craft night and use your leftover supplies to teach them how to make their own mini projects. It’s a great way to inspire creativity and spend quality time together.

8. Think Outside the Box

Wreath-making is about more than following a tutorial. It’s a chance to express your personality and style. When you have leftover materials, challenge yourself to think outside the box. Here are some tips:

• Combine unexpected colors or textures to create something bold and unique.
• Incorporate natural elements like pinecones, dried flowers, or seashells.
• Upcycle old decor items by adding wreath kit leftovers for a fresh, updated look.

9. Share Your Creations
