DIY Crescent Moon Wreath Glow-Up: Turn Your Old Wreath into a Magical Masterpiece!
Who says your old wreath has to stay… well, old? This holiday season, I decided to give mine a total glow-up, turning it into a whimsical crescent moon shape with leftover decorations from my Yule garland.
Here’s how I took my plain old wreath and gave it a little holiday sparkle. Ready for some crafty fun? Let’s go!
What You’ll Need:
Old wreath form (any shape will do, but I recommend oval or round for easy shaping)

Step 5: Hang and Admire
Now that your crescent moon wreath is ready, it’s time to hang it! Put it above the fireplace, on your front door, or anywhere that needs some celestial magic. And don’t forget to step back and admire your masterpiece—you turned an old wreath i
