Use a knife or saw to separate you wreath in one area.
Cut the tops of your socks off as shown.
Start putting the socks over the wreath. Just work them over just like you were putting them on your leg. Stripes first works best.
You are going to put the stripes of the next sock over the now raw cut edge of the sock before it.
Eventually you will have a complete and finished looking wreath. All of this took maybe 10 minutes! This is an extremely quick and easy method for getting a cute wreath base.
I decided on a kite theme for my wreath after finding the “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” graphic below in my scrapbook stash. I used a few other paper elements plus some baker’s twine and washi tape.
The “kite” went on the side of the wreath with a baker’s twine string. You can use whatever you have on hand for the tail. I actually used a piece of washi tape but ribbon will absolutely work. Everything was added to the wreath with hot glue.
I then added a few paper scallop circles with my graphic on top. Again putting them on with hot glue.
Now just add some ribbon to the top to hang and this one is ready to go on your door.
This wreath is perfect for the windy spring months when in fact you do just want to go fly a kite.
Ingenious. Fun and still cool.
Soooo clever!!! I am totally doing this (and giving you props for the idea, of course)!!!

Too cute, Angie! I can’t believe you did this with socks!
I NEVER would have thought to use socks to make a wreath. How fun is that? And easy… I love easy!
This is so cute, Angie! I just saw those same socks yesterday and literally stood in the aisle for 5 minutes trying to figure out what I could do with them. I couldn’t think of anything on the spot, and since we just de-stashed I figured I shouldn’t start hoarding things with no plans again so soon. Now I wish I would have actually grabbed them!
Cover wreath with socks? Genius.
Angie!
I just LOVE this wreath idea. It’s so colorful and the little kite is precious!! Would you mind if I pinned this to The Home Depot’s wreaths Pinterest board?
Cheers!
