We’re on the runway now for the 2023 holiday season and we are so excited to see what’s trending for 2023 DIY Christmas Wreath Designs!

So far, Laurie and the rest of the members of Team Unique have already been busy making early wreaths for the season. As you know in the wreathing world, we’re always several months ahead to prepare for the upcoming holiday or season. The planning and anticipation are some of the best parts of DIY seasonal decor!

So what will we see a lot of this year?

As always, we’re going to see tried and true designs, such as:

*Christmas Tree Wreaths, made using the UITC Triangle Board – there’s a reason why Laurie’s original Christmas Tree design went viral on Pinterest!

*Poinsettia Wreaths, made using the UITC Large Wreath Board or Small Wreath Board

*Character Wreaths like Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Frosty the Snowman, etc. made on the UITC Character Board

But there are lots of new and exciting designs this year to add to these tried and true classics and we can’t wait to see all of this year’s creative DIY decorations!

Team Unique 2023 Christmas Wreath Designs

Here are just some of the Christmas Wreath Designs Team Unique has made so far in 2023:

Rectangle Board Designs

So far for 2023, we’re absolutely loving the designs made on the UITC Rectangle Board! This is only the second Christmas season since the Rectangle Board was introduced by Unique in the Creek and the shape of this board lends itself to so many fantastic holiday uses.

Of course, we love this shape on a door for classic placement but they’re also perfect for decking halls, pillars, banisters, and hand rails. And the Rectangle Board is absolutely PERFECT for creating a holiday table centrepiece!

Every Rectangle Board comes in a 2-Pack, so you can use them individually or combine them together into a larger design.

Inspiration from Decals & Wreath Signs

As always, the community takes inspiration for wreaths from the latest available accessories and materials, and especially from vinyl decals for use with the Character Board and wreath signs for use with any wreath on any board!

Here are some fantastic Christmas wreath designs using decals and wreath signs from our community members in the Unique Wreath Creators Group on Facebook.

There are so many inspiring designs already made this year and it’s only September as we write this! We can’t wait to see what else everyone makes this year. As always, you can get started making your own wreath

How To Get Started

1. Start with a UITC™ board. 

2. Choose your materials; mesh, ribbon, vinyl decals & more. 

3. Use zipties to attach your materials to the board. 

4. Add accessories, wreath signs & finishing touches. 

5. Use our Free YouTube Video Replays & Tutorials to learn the wreath making process.

We can’t wait to see what you make! Be sure to tag us on Instagram  and, as long as you are kind, we invite you to join the Unique Wreath Creators Group on Facebook and share photos of your wreath with us! Also be sure to follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.

The wreath community is just SO creative! If you haven’t seen the latest trends in dragon wreath designs and other Halloween themed crafts, then you’re in for a real treat! Prepare to be inspired!

As you’ve probably noticed, Halloween has become a bigger and bigger celebration the last few years. And it’s no wonder! It’s such a fun and magical holiday for kids – and it truly brings out great creativity in adults too. So if you love crafting and decorating your home, making a Halloween wreath can be truly delightful.

Lately, there’s been an extra influx of fantasy and whimsy in the wreath world with the ever-so-popular dragon wreath concepts, originally kicked off by Tina White. These designs use modified UITC Wreath Boards and excellent folded mesh techniques to create scales.

Not only are these designs great for Halloween but they could be a fantastic decoration in a kids room, game room, or media room all year long.

Here are some YouTube replays and tutorials from Michele from #TeamUnique!

Halloween Wreath Inspiration

When looking for seasonal inspiration, consider that Halloween is a time of mystery, magic, and, of course, a touch of the macabre. Halloween wreaths can be a blend of spooky, fun, and stylish. They offer crafters the opportunity to play with darker themes, incorporating elements like cobwebs, skulls, and black cats.

But it’s not all about the eerie and ominous. Many Halloween wreaths also celebrate the fun and playful “Happy Haunts” side of the holiday, featuring cheerful pumpkins, candy corn, and whimsical witches. Whether you prefer a design that sends shivers down your spine or one that sparks joy and laughter, there’s a Halloween wreath out there for you.

Here are a few recent wreaths from our community to put you in the mood:

We have an entire playlist on YouTube with replays and tutorials to learn to make a Halloween Wreath. Here are a few favourites:

Fall 2023 Ideas

If you ever find yourself in a creative rut, simply head over to our community showcase. You’ll be greeted with a plethora of designs, each more stunning than the last – but with lots of room for beginning contributions too! From traditional to modern, minimalist to extravagant, there’s something for everyone. And who knows? You might just stumble upon the perfect design to grace your front door this fall.

1. Pumpkin Paradise

Nothing says fall quite like pumpkins. This season, you won’t be surprised to see that many of our crafters have incorporated various sizes of pumpkins into their wreaths. Whether it’s a single statement pumpkin in the centre or a cascade of mini pumpkins, this is a trend that’s both charming and classic.

2. Lush Leaves

From maple to oak, leaves are a staple in fall wreaths. This year, we’ve seen a rise in wreaths that mix different types of leaves, both in terms of species and colour. The result? A vibrant and textured piece that looks like it was plucked straight from a forest.

3. Berries & Blooms

Flowers aren’t just for spring! Many of our members have been incorporating autumn blooms like chrysanthemums and sunflowers into their designs. Paired with clusters of berries, these wreaths strike the perfect balance between delicate and bold.

4. Rustic Touches

Fall is all about coziness, and what’s cozier than rustic, farmhouse-inspired designs? Think burlap ribbons, wooden accents, and even little scarecrows. These elements add a touch of nostalgia and warmth to any wreath.

5. Whimsical Characters

For those looking to add a touch of whimsy to their decor, we’ve seen some adorable character-themed wreaths. From friendly ghosts to playful turkeys, these designs are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Sometimes these are made on the Character Board while other times they appear on a wreath sign or they’re featured as attachments.

6. Textured Tidbits

One of the standout trends this year is the use of varied textures. Combining elements like felt, twine, and even metal, these wreaths are a tactile delight.

Bringing It Home

Are you feeling inspired by all of these trending wreath designs for fall? Now that the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, we invite you to explore your creativity and craft a piece that will bring warmth and joy to your home.

How excited are you to decorate for Independence Day? We’re already getting our creative juices flowing with DIY 4th of July decorating ideas and have already started to dive in! 

Few things pull Americans across the country together like the 4th of July weekend. Of course, everyone celebrates in their own way, but if you look in just about every backyard, you’ll see grills being prepared with stacks of hotdogs and hamburgers, and houses and businesses are all starting to show an awful lot of red, white, and blue bunting!

Now you may know that Laurie is actually Canadian but lives right near the border at Niagara Falls. And we soooo respect the way Americans truly celebrate and take pride in their country! We could all learn a thing or two about the patriotic spirit from y’all! 

We love that decorating can begin with Memorial Day and carry right through to the 4th of July, building steadily week by week. And making your own festive decorations for the 4th of July is one of the best ways to get in the patriotic celebratory spirit. 

But you might ask, why bother taking the time to make your own when you can head to a store to buy some patriotically appropriate festive decor? 

Add Your Own Personal Star-Spangled Touches

Part of the problem with buying decorations is that they’re super impersonal and just very generic. Everyone has the same bunting, the same red, white, and blue balloons, the same Uncle Sam hat. But what if you want to put your own creative spin on things?

Well, that’s the beauty of DIY and where the wreath making community comes up with so many exceptional Pinterest-worthy ideas! If you have an idea for a unique piece of DIY home decor to celebrate the holiday, we definitely encourage you to run with it! So, break out those stars and stripes and start using your imagination! 

A DIY Wreath Is the Best Way to Say “Happy 4th of July”

Over the years, we’ve made dozens and dozens of America-themed wreaths for both Memorial Day and July 4th. And all of them scream out a love of the good ol’ U.S.of A.! 

Whether you’re having guests over on Independence Day or you just want to share your patriotic spirit with the neighbourhood, a wreath is a perfect fixture for your front door or placed on a pillar, post, or you can add several along a banister like bunting. 

Homemade 4th of July Decorations Save Money

Let’s not forget that making your own decorations for Independence Day can be a real cost saver! With our wreath making system, you can use fewer materials to make outstanding finished pieces that, when purchased, would cost considerably more than the sum of its parts. Just another reason to love that DIY feeling!

Check out these wreaths from some of our Creeker community members:

DIY Decorations Become Family Heirlooms 

Whether for Christmas, Easter, Halloween, or Independence Day, every family has decorations or ornaments that they love to break out, year after year. And often, those decorations are homemade. 

When we make our own seasonal wreaths, wall hangings, and decorations, we form a strong attachment to them. For us, the patriotic holiday just wouldn’t feel right without a July-4th-themed wreath on your door. By going the DIY route, you’re creating memories you can carry with you, holiday after holiday. And those memories can often carry on with your children long after you’re gone.

Get The Kids Involved

Speaking of building memories with your kids, one of the best ways to spend quality time is by doing DIY activities together. So if you’re making a patriotic wreath for this July 4th, why not involve the kids? Yes, there are many things that go into wreath making that might currently be beyond their abilities, but there are still tons of ways they can contribute. Not only will it bring you closer with your kids or grandkids, but it will also help build some excitement for the big day!

The Christmas and holiday season can be difficult for some people in under-served parts of our community. We’re especially thinking about nursing home residents. For some people, it may be their first Christmas in a nursing home and away from their family. And with the seasonal rise in increased health precautions, many residents may not be able to see their families at all. 

The Last Few Years Have Been Rough!

Thinking about the last couple of Covid Christmases, the holiday season has really changed for nursing home residents. It can be a really sad and lonely time. So if anyone could use a little cheer, we think it’s them. 

Despite all the challenges, experts and nursing home carers emphasize that it’s important for their residents to mark the celebration, acknowledging and celebrating it, even if it’s limited. And that’s where your beautiful handmade wreaths made with love can come in. 

A Gesture Close to Our Hearts

If you’ve been following along with Laurie for a few years, you’ll know that this is an effort close to her heart. 

A great way to make a nursing home feel more “homey” over the holidays is to make a homemade wreath or centrepiece to spread cheer and make the nursing home look more festive. 

Donating a wreath (or two or more) is such a thoughtful gesture and means the world for these residents. Giving a little of your time and effort to the people in a nursing home in your area can turn a potentially stressful and dark time into the bright and happy time it’s supposed to be. 

Put A Smile On Some Faces

Just think about how every time the residents look at your wreath it will put a smile on their face. Your time and caring can make them feel included, cared for, and remembered – and that’s exactly what the Christmas season is supposed to be all about!

If you have a parent, grandparent, or loved one in a home, you could choose to give some wreaths there, or you could find a residence in your local area. Either way, this is your chance to make the holiday season a little more special for them. Just think about the holiday cheer you could spread to don’t have any family. We promise you, any caring gesture you make over the holidays would be appreciated.

A beautiful, hand-made wreath shows those in a nursing home that they haven’t been forgotten and that someone cares about them. They’ll so appreciate the thoughtfulness and love that went into creating your homemade DIY wreath. 

One of the great things about a Christmas wreath is that it can brighten up a whole common area, becoming a point of conversation for the residents. Lots of people will be able to see what you’ve made and be cheered by it, too. 

Your creativity and effort will show you care, and it has the side benefit of getting you more into the Christmas spirit!

Think Local

If you are donating to nursing homes where you do not know anyone, but want to bring joy to everyone, check with your local nursing home to ensure they are accepting decorations. Most will be happy to hear from you but it’s always good to double check. Nursing home caretakers appreciate your efforts too, as they know how much it will mean to their residents.

This can also be an opportunity for your whole family to get crafty together and then deliver the finished wreaths as a special activity in the right holiday spirit. 

Check online for nursing homes near you that could benefit from your time and care. Canadahelps.org has additional resources to help you.

We’d Love To See Photos 📷

Please, if you do share wreaths with your local nursing home residents, we would love to see photos! Join the Unique Wreath Creators group and drop some pictures for us. It would mean so much to Laurie and all of the team here. 

Wishing you and your family all the best this holiday season,

Team Unique
