Each year I (Emily) get to spruce up my baby girl’s room for Christmas, and I love this easy and affordable idea for holiday decor – the Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath!

Making A Merry Christmas: Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath!The two, thin gold trees were HomeGoods finds from last year and the paper tree was a project I featured previously.

Making A Merry Christmas: Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath!I added a cute, pink church and bowl o’ shiny ornaments and her room is officially spruced for Christmas!

Do you like the Oh, Christmas Tree wreath? Well, stay put and I’ll break it down for you. I started with a large, wooden embroidery hoop, a square of cream burlap, a handful of shiny, tiny ornaments, aqua and green yarn, a vinyl stencil and pewter fabric paint. Oh, and my hot glue gun. To stencil my words, I used my silhouette to first cut them out. Then I did the opposite of what I usually do. I discarded the letters and kept the negative space.

Here’s a picture:

For the sake of pictures, I should have chosen a different color vinyl, huh??

Making A Merry Christmas: Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath!I then used a foam sponge to paint the stencil. This is burlap, so it doesn’t have to be perfect. The weave kind of hides imperfections. I wanted it to look a bit aged and distressed, so I used a light touch when painting the letters.

After the paint dried, I stuck the burlap in my hoop and trimmed the excess. Then I wrapped the top with a length of yarn. Easy as can be!

I glued the ornaments on after the burlap was placed in my hoop. This was also easy. Simply, arrange your tree and glue each piece down with hot glue. I put a scrap of fabric down under the hoop in case any glue dripped through the loose weave of the burlap.Making A Merry Christmas: Oh, Christmas Tree Wreath!To make the tree trunk, I took a small cardboard square (a scrap of an old diaper box) and wrapped aqua yarn around it and then glued the trunk in place.

I love how it turned out! I love how festive my sweet punkin’s room is! And, I have another cute project to show you on the opposite side of her room. But, you’ll have to come back to see it! (Is the suspense killing you?)

I’m also a habitual DIY girl with a passion for creating a beautiful home on a budget. When I’m not crafting and creating, I’m planning my next craft or creation. Obsessed? Perhaps. But, I prefer the word focused. I’m focused on making my house a home and doing it creatively. Because, let’s face it, creativity is the best friend of the frugal gal. I’m always up to something at 52 Mantels. Won’t you join me on my journey?
