I have said it many times, but I love making wreaths and finding new ways to make them. The inspiration for this wreath came from a visit to our local Home Depot with my husband who always has to look in the tool aisle. While I was patiently, or not so patiently, waiting for him to stop drooling over the latest gadget, I saw a container of wood biscuits for miter joints. It struck me how similar they look like leaves and thought they would make a great wreath. I decided to try it out.

Wood Biscuit Christmas Wreath
For this project you will need:
- 12″ flat wood wreath form
- Ryobi Wood Biscuits
- Wood stain in your choice of color
- Acrylic paints
- Craft brushes
- Hot Glue Gun and glue sticks
- Ribbon of your choice
The wood biscuits were easy to attach to the wood wreath form using the hot glue gun and glue. I laid them out in a pattern similar to leaves on a wreath.
I wanted to see how the wreath would look stained with gold accents so I applied two coats of Minwax Early American stain. I painted some of the “leaves” with gold metallic paint, but it just didn’t have the look I was hoping for.
It just didn’t look like a Christmas Wreath.
By painting some of the wood biscuits with green and white paint, the wreath finally had a more festive look to it. A red bow added to it makes it look even better.
I may attempt another one with all green or some other look for the upcoming holidays.

This is such a great idea! I LOVE that you turned a trip to a home improvement store into a decorating opportunity! My kinda woman 🙂 #homemattersparty
Thanks and glad you stopped by.
I have never heard about wood biscuits. Looks like a great supply to have on hand for projects like this. Even though the wreath didn’t look like Christmas wreath, it sure does look beautiful. It looks more like a fall wreath to me. #HomeMattersParty
I have never heard of wood biscuits! I bet they come in handy for all sorts of things. Your wreath turned out so cute. I love the added green, white, and red. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂

I didn’t even know what a wood biscuit is until now! I think it was a very creative way to use them in a wreath. #HomeMattersParty
Thanks Nicole.
Love this wreath! I had never heard of wood biscuits. I love the look! Found your post on #HomeMattersParty and sure am glad I did. I am inspired.
Thanks for visiting Sinea. I’m glad you stopped by. Since making this wreath last year the only thing I have changed is the bow.
