2 DIY Wreaths To Dress Your Home For Party Time

110409-wreaths.jpg Wreaths are easily customizable and add an unexpected touch to your spaces—especially come party time! You can change them up to suit the theme your working around and are a simple way to add a little extra oommf to your party decor. Tips on making these two after the jump...

 
 

These wreaths, although specific in color and texture are easy to make work for a party or holiday of your choosing. Simply change up the colors of your materials and you have a new pretty party companion. Even if you're doing a "beach theme" or a "space theme," you can still make something with coordinating colors that will add a little something special to go along with your already set tables and party bags.

You can read more about how each one of these wreaths is made, both from the same Styrofoam base with paper or string added to them. The sky is the limit when it comes to making something fabulous that fits with your party flare!

Details on making the yarn wreath can be found over at Decor8 and a full tutorial on making the book page wreath are over at Living With Lindsay.

ohh for the paper wreath you could also use a church hymnal (sp?). I have seen people make angels out of them but i personaly think this is much sweeter.
