Old Ties into the Christmas Wreath
I am sure you have plenty of those ties your husband or dad doesn't need any more. Why not turn them into the fun Christmas decoration?
Holiday Greeting Cards into the Christmas Wreath
Recycle your friends' holiday greeting cards into holly leaves for this nice Christmas wreath! That's what I call putting good wished to real use!
Recycle Wine Corks into the Christmas Wreath
Holidays are so rich in wine, so this year you will know how to recycle them!
Pst, here are few more ideas to recycle festive wine corks: Champagne Cork Flash Drive Holder and Wine Cork Serving Tray

Love these ideas but can you please give proper instructions for making them? Like what kind of circular contraption are you starting out with? What kind of glue are you using? How are you getting the ties to stay stiff and are you gluing them together or stapling?
Hey Yvonne, hanks for the comment! Unfortunately I have no instructions - I collect ideas and inspiration here - not the tutorials!
Shouldn't you credit the originator?
Hi Jessy (and Yvonne). I loved the cork idea so much that I rooted around and found the instructions.

I bet those first two could be made with the foam wreaths from any craft store ... wrap the ties and hot glue, stiffening the ends with a cardboard insert. Pin the leaf cutouts right into the foam, overlapping as you go around. The corks look a little trickier, I'm betting they're wired together somehow, harder to pull off and probably involves drilling the corks first so they don't split. If there are ready-made metal hoops then stuff could be threaded. Just my 2 cents, they all look great!
@Anonymous, I always do when I know one!
@MLDB, THANKS so much! I am adding the link with instructions to the post!
@Bethany, thanks for stopping by!
LOVE these ideas!!!! I wish my husband had enough ties that I could swipe some of them :)
