Succulent wreath
One of our absolute favourite non-traditional DIY wreath ideas is this living succulent wreath that Mikahl of Maddison Bloom created. This affordable DIY is loads of fun to make and the best part is, it will continue to live well past the festive season!

For a more minimalist succulent wreath idea, we also love this Kmart hack Christmas wreath that Amanda Massey shared in the Kmart home decor & hacks Australia Facebook group. She says, she simply attached sphagnum moss with a fishing line to the Kmart wicker wreath and used a hot glue gun to secure the succulents in place. Once Christmas is over, you can remove the succulents from the wreath and re-plant them 😉
