Displaying a wreath as a way to celebrate goes back to ancient times: to honor athletes and warriors, to decorate homes and places of worship, and to honor the dead during funerals, for example. Today, we continue this tradition, and have become especially imaginative when it comes to the look and material selection — there are literally countless designs to match every style of decor.

1. Rosegold Wreath Made of Recycled Cans

Yes, it's true, you can make this stunning DIY minimalist wreath a reality in just nine steps! For this project, most of the labor goes into constructing the leaves — to turn the cans into aluminum sheets, emboss the "midrib" (lines) of the leaves, and then paint and dry them — so it could be a fun activity to do in a group. We'd happily hang this rose gold piece of decor all year long.

Use fresh foliage or even artificial flowers, and for a little pop, you can use a gold or silver cord to replace the hanging string.
