When most seniors in high school come to look at a college they could possibly attend in the future, they have a list of things they look for. How big is the school? How big is the campus? How are the classes? What’s the reputation of the school? Is there a football team? Do they have my potential major? The last thing on their mind is what does the landscaping look like. But according to Ryan Macy, the landscaping superintendent, that is the reason he does his job.

DIY Holiday Decoration Ideas: Wreaths
To get this DIY Holiday Wreath you must first gather all the necessary supplies. The main pieces you’ll need is an over-the-door hook, a wreath of your choice (that you can add decorations to), decorations and things to attach the decorations if needed.
First, assemble your holiday decorations in an arrangement you like on your wreath. And then, you fasten your decorations to the wreath and hang your new holiday decoration where ever you like.
Everything in this video was from Hobby Lobby with the grand total of about $20 for two complete, different holiday wreaths. The wreath itself, was about five dollars and, the individual decorations were either two or three dollars each. The over the door hook was only two dollars so, every item’s price is dependent on your budget and what you would like in your DIY.
In the following video Nina White, DIY enthusiast, demonstrates how to make cute, cheap holiday wreaths.
