Looking for a quick way to decorate your door or bring some life into a room? Try a DIY scented wreath<\/strong><\/span>! Unlike other DIY home decor, a wreath requires no sawing, sanding, painting, or drying, so you can complete this project in an afternoon.<\/p>\n

Your wreath can be as simple or as ornate as you like.<\/strong><\/span> Go for a minimalist (read: low effort) look with just a few stems or fill the whole wreath so it is bursting with greenery, flowers, and whatever else your heart desires.<\/p>\n

Finish it off with a spritz of essential oils and you have a custom decor piece that adds instant charm to your home.<\/p>\n

How to make a DIY scented wreath<\/span><\/h2>\n

Materials:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Grapevine wreath, any size (we used an 8-inch wreath in the picture)
\nArtificial leaves, vines, and\/or flowers, any variety
\nFloral wire
\nHot glue gun (optional)
\nFishing line or ribbon to hang the wreath<\/p>\n

Essential oil spray:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Glass spray bottle
\n5 ounces distilled water
\n15\u250020 drops essential oil (we used 10 drops Eucalyptus Radiata<\/a> and 5 drops Lemon<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Decorate.<\/span><\/strong> Focusing on one section at a time, insert the stems of your flowers or foliage into the grapevine wreath. As you add additional stems, overlap the previous ones by about 1 inch.<\/p>\n

2. Secure.<\/span><\/strong> Wrap wire twice around the wreath to hold the stems snugly in place; then twist the ends of the wire under a piece of decor so they are hidden from sight. Repeat for each section.<\/p>\n

3. Embellish.<\/span><\/strong> Once you\u2019re happy with the fullness of your wreath, add any embellishments you like, such as citrus fruits, sunflowers, seashells, or ribbons. Use wire or a hot glue gun to attach your embellishments.<\/p>\n

4. Spray.<\/span><\/strong> Fill a glass spray bottle with 5 ounces of water and 15 drops of essential oil. Shake well and spritz onto the entire wreath.<\/p>\n
