You can buy artificial wreath bases in the craft store, out of foam, wire, or grapevine and then get what are called 'floral picks' with little bits of greenery or decorations to cover them. If you shop carefully you can do it economically. Look for sales where the picks are 50c or cheaper.
For fall I have a straw wreath wrapped with ribbon and it has picks of fall flowers near the bottom and a fake bird sitting in it. That's on my door right now. Last year a friend and I made them out of grapevine with leaf picks and a big bow in the middle.
At christmas a couple years ago DH wanted one with lights, so we got an artificial green wreath and wrapped a light strand in it and then added picks with pine cones and poinsettias.Use it up, Wear it out,
Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown
