21 Budget-Friendly DIY Faux Fur Christmas Wreaths You Can Easily Make

There’s something about the holiday season that calls for cozy textures, warm lighting, and a touch of playful whimsy. Faux fur has become a massive trend in holiday decor, and it’s easy to see why it’s soft, luxurious, and instantly adds a sense of warmth to any room . But buying a pre-made faux fur wreath from a boutique can set you back $50 to $100 or more . The good news? You can create a stunning, high-end looking faux fur Christmas wreath for a fraction of the cost, often for under $20 and in under an hour .

From fluffy lime green Grinch designs to rustic woodland styles, these 21 budget-friendly ideas will inspire you to get crafty this season. Best of all, many of these projects are no-sew, use supplies from the dollar store, or feature materials you can easily reuse year after year .

1: Classic Grinch Wreath

One of the most viral and beloved faux fur wreath designs is the Grinch-inspired wreath . Using a candy cane wreath form, bright green faux fur, a red velvet scarf, and a Santa hat, you can create the iconic Grinch arm holding a red ornament . The key is tracing and cutting your hand shape from the faux fur, being careful to only cut the backing so the fur stays fluffy .

Tips

• Use a razor blade or x-acto knife to score the backing of the faux fur, not the fur itself, to avoid giving it a “haircut” 
• If you can’t find green faux fur at Dollar Tree, use a bright green party boa as an alternative 
• Total cost for this project can be under $6 

2: Classic Rustic Woodland Wreath

For a more traditional and elegant look, a classic rustic woodland faux fur wreath is a beautiful choice. Use a foam wreath form and wrap it with a 4-inch wide faux fur ribbon, securing it with sewing pins no hot glue required!  This “no destruction” method means you can easily reuse the fur ribbon for other projects later . Add a sleigh bell ornament and a pine sprig for a charming woodland accent.

Tips

• Pin the fur ribbon diagonally along the inside of the wreath form to start, then loop it around the form, overlapping each layer 
• Fluff the fur with your hand to cover the pins for a seamless look 
• This project takes less than 15 minutes to complete 

3: Hand-Sewn Fur Wreath

If you prefer a more traditional, handcrafted approach, a hand-sewn faux fur wreath is a wonderful option. This method involves cutting a long strip of faux fur (approximately 2 yards for an 18-inch wreath) and wrapping it around the wreath form, then whip-stitching the edges together at the back . This creates a beautiful, seamless front. Add a handmade wired ribbon bow for a classic Christmas finish.

Tips

• Use quilt batting to wrap a grapevine wreath form first to create a thicker, fuller shape 
• Big, sloppy stitches on the back are fine the pile of the fur will hide any small folds on the front 
• This method is ideal for indoor wreaths as the fur may not stand up to weather 

4: Minimalist Fur and Bells Wreath

For a more modern, minimalist aesthetic, a simple metal ring wrapped with gold wire and a touch of faux fur can be stunning. Pair a fur-wrapped base with elegant gold bells and a few sprigs of faux greenery . This style feels both contemporary and cozy, and it can be made for under $20, especially if you find your wreath base at a thrift store .

Tips

• Use a thrift store metal ring or a Dollar Tree wreath form as your base 
• Let the bells be the statement piece they give the wreath its entire personality 
• This minimalist design works well on a front door, above a mirror, or on a mantel 

5: Crocheted Faux Fur Wreath

For crafters who love yarn, a crocheted faux fur wreath is a unique and cozy option. Using a thick, luxurious faux fur yarn like Lion Brand Go For Faux, you can crochet a cover for your wreath form and then embellish it with holiday florals . It’s a quick project that makes a perfect gift or craft fair item .

Tips

• Use a 19mm (US size S) crochet hook and a #6 super bulky yarn 
• The pattern is simple single crochet stitches are enough to cover the foam 
• You can easily adjust the pattern for any size wreath form 

6: Winter White Fur Snowball Wreath

For a truly magical, snowy aesthetic, create a winter white faux fur wreath that looks like a fluffy snowball. Use a thick, white faux fur ribbon on a foam wreath form, fluffing it generously. Embellish with silver ornaments, frosted pinecones, or glittery snowflakes for a winter wonderland look. This style is timeless and can be enjoyed all winter long, not just at Christmas.

Tips

• Choose a high-quality, thick faux fur for maximum fluffiness
• Use battery-operated fairy lights woven through the fur for a soft, twinkling glow
• This wreath looks particularly stunning on a dark-colored front door

7: Plaid and Fur Farmhouse Wreath

Combine the cozy texture of faux fur with the classic charm of plaid for a rustic farmhouse wreath. Wrap a wreath form with faux fur and tie a large, oversized plaid bow at the bottom or top. Add some red berries and wooden bead garland for a charming, country-style look that’s perfect for a farmhouse front door.

Tips

• Use a wide, wired plaid ribbon for your bow so it holds its shape
• Use wooden beads painted white for a snowy touch
• This style works beautifully with neutral, cream, and red color palettes

8: Color-Drenched Maximalist Fur Wreath

Don’t be afraid to go bold. A color-drenched approach using a single, saturated color of faux fur on a wreath creates a joyful and high-spirited space. Think vibrant emerald green, deep burgundy, or royal blue. This makes a huge statement, especially when paired with contrasting ornaments. This is a great way to experiment with a bold design in a small, contained way.

Tips

• Choose a fur color that you wouldn’t normally use in larger furniture pieces
• Pair the bold fur with simple, metallic ornaments to keep it from looking too busy
• This is a perfect project for a child’s room or a playful entryway

9: Natural Foraged and Fur Wreath

Embrace the beauty of nature by combining faux fur with foraged natural elements. This is a wonderful, budget-friendly way to add a personal touch to your decor. Use a faux fur base and then attach pinecones, cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, and foraged berries that you gather from your own yard or a local park . It creates a warm, natural, and completely unique wreath.

Tips

• Use a hot glue gun to attach heavier natural elements
• For a winter fragrance, attach a few dried cinnamon sticks
• This style is perfect for a rustic, natural, or eco-friendly holiday theme

10: Fur and Fairy Lights Wreath

Add a touch of enchantment to your faux fur wreath by weaving a string of battery-operated fairy lights through the fur. This creates a soft, twinkling glow that makes the wreath feel truly magical. It’s a stunning way to make your front door or interior wall sparkle, and it’s a simple way to add a wow factor.

Tips

• Choose a warm white or cool white light based on your preference
• Tuck the battery pack behind the wreath or hide it in the ribbon
• This technique also works well on larger wreaths for a dramatic effect

11: Grinch Heart Wreath

A variation on the classic Grinch wreath, this version focuses on the iconic “heart that grew three sizes.” Use a bright green faux fur wreath and attach a large, red, glittery heart in the center or offset to the side . It’s a simpler, more whimsical take on the theme, and it’s a great way to add a touch of Grinch charm to your decor without the full hand design.

Tips

• Find a large red ornament or a glittered cardboard heart at the craft store
• Position the heart slightly off-center for a more playful look
• This is a perfect project for a front door that needs a pop of color

• Attach the berry and greenery picks with floral wire or a hot glue gun
• This style is perfect for a front door, a mantel, or a dining room table centerpiece

13: Advent Fur Wreath

Faux fur isn’t just for front doors. You can create a stunning Advent wreath by wrapping a straw wreath form with strips of faux fur ribbon and securing them with pins .

Combine faux fur with the classic St. Nick theme for a cozy, festive wreath. Use a plush red or cream fur base and add a decorative Santa belt buckle or a red velvet bow . This is a simple way to bring the magic of Santa into your front door decor. It’s a great alternative to a traditional green wreath.

Tips

FAQs

What’s the best way to cut faux fur without making a mess?

Always cut faux fur from the back (the fabric side) using a sharp razor blade or x-acto knife. Score the backing, but avoid cutting through the fur itself. This prevents you from giving the fur a “haircut” and losing its volume . Be prepared to vacuum afterward, as cutting faux fur can be messy .

What supplies do I need to make a faux fur wreath?

You’ll need a wreath base (foam, wire, or grapevine), faux fur (either a 4-inch wide ribbon or a yard of fabric), and a way to attach it (sewing pins, hot glue, or a needle and thread). You’ll also need scissors and decorations like ornaments, ribbon, or pine sprigs .

How can I make a faux fur wreath for under $10?

Use a Dollar Tree wreath form and a scarf or faux fur from the dollar store. This is the most budget-friendly approach for a Grinch-inspired wreath . For a simpler design, look for faux fur ribbon on clearance or at discount stores and use a foam wreath form from the craft store.

Can I make a faux fur wreath without hot glue?

Yes! For a no-glue method, use a foam wreath form and secure your faux fur ribbon with sewing pins or wreath pins. This is a great, reusable option that takes about 15 minutes . You can also hand-sew the fur edges together at the back .

How do I hang my faux fur wreath?

The easiest way is to sew or pin a loop of ribbon to the back of the wreath at the top . Use a strong ribbon or twine for heavier wreaths. If your wreath is hung on a door, ensure the hanger is centered to prevent it from leaning.
