OMG, love this guy's Christmas gift idea for his friend!

I wanted to give a friend a Christmas gift this year and she's a huge fan of the Grinch, so I went to my local store and I found this adorable Grinch sign.

We're going to start by flipping it over. This sign already has a hanger up top. So we're going to use that to our advantage. We're going to take a pipe cleaner and just secure it. Make sure to twist it around the hanger to ensure that it doesn't come loose.

Now we're going to work it into an evergreen wreath. These supplies you can find available at Nickseasonaldecor.com.

Now that we have it secured with the pipe cleaner, take that pipe cleaner, feed it through all of the evergreen tips and secure it to the metal frame. It's really important that you secure it to the metal frame and not just the pine tips because if you do, just secure it to the pine tips, the sign will begin to sag over time.

In my opinion, no wreath is complete without ornaments. So here, we just have some shatterproof plastic ornaments. All we're going to do is pop off the top. If you don't have any hot glue, here's an easy tip for you guys; take the ornaments and just poke them right into the pine and that'll keep them in place and prevent them from falling off and that way if you want to switch up this wreath or change it up for each season and holiday all you have to do is just remove the ornaments and store them.

I have a mixture of red and green today. We're just going to start poking them throughout and here we have our final ornament which we'll just place right there.

Now it's time to embellish this even more with a little bit of ribbon.

And here we have this really pretty ribbon from Nickseasonaldecor.com and this one has a little bit more of a lime green, it has white, red and that emerald green which matches the sign really nicely. The Grinch is almost this color, so to work in this ribbon we're going to add a bunch of tails throughout.

I'm a firm believer that not every single wreath has to require a beautiful bow sometimes just the use of some extra tails can really make a wreath stand out. Cut some pieces about 8 to 12 inches long. Then, take our ribbon, fold it in half and dovetail, so the dovetail cut from the middle out towards the edge at an angle and it reveals that beautiful finished edge.

All of the twists on these pine reeds are wired and makes it very easy to actually secure everything whether it be flowers or like we did with the ornament which is our first time debuting that here on Hometalk but it does make it so much easier especially if you want to switch things out. If you're not confident in exact placement by just sticking the ornaments in, you're able to remove them same with the ribbon. Nothing's glued on this wreath and our final piece of ribbon will sit right here.
I think my friend is going to be really happy with this gift. I mean, I think this turned out so cute so as I mentioned earlier feel free to replace any of these items with anything that matches your home or your aesthetic. What we have on this wreath is a 24-inch evergreen form, a little bit of ribbon, some ornaments and a sign and that is it. You can make this wreath for about 20 to 25 dollars which is really economical.
