Wreath Trio Reminder!

When searching for holiday decor, I find myself wishing there were better options out there. I am not much of a knick/knack kind of decorator, and a lot of holiday decorations have a knick/knack quality to them. I tend to gravitate to larger decor pieces to make a statement rather than smaller items.

So, last year, when I was searching for a wreath, I decided that buying a wreath trio was not cost effective. If you buy three wreaths priced at $29.99, by the time you make your large statement, you have spent $90.00. WOOOO-WEEE.  I usually start searching with something in mind, and I rarely find it (especially at a price that my thrifty core will allow).

One of the biggest points that I try to make here at All Things Thrifty, is that a lot of times creating your own projects are cheaper than buying something, but they are also MUCH more CUTE! Some have the misconception that a homemade item is frumpy or something. This is NOT the case, and my personal quest is to prove this misconception wrong! In fact, ultra unique items that cannot be found in the store only adds to the character of your home and helps create a more "custom" look.

Don't be afraid to make your own wreath. I made this for a friend last year, and it was super duper easy, and the best part? It cost less than $30.00 total!

These are very good bedroom furniture. I was looking for discount bedroom furniture and found some very good furniture the only problem was how to set it and now that problem is solved. Thank you.

I think homemade vs. store bought wins every time! I so love those wreaths and just found myself glancing around to see where I could put something like that, lol.
