The fun thing about this is that you can do this on any budget. I started out with some plastic greenery from the dollar spotat Target that I made into simple wreaths. But over time I’ve replaced them with cute mini wreaths.

Mini Wreaths for Christmas Decorations
For this fun decoridea, you’ll want to select wreathsizes that are smaller than the average door wreath. Many times they are sold as “mini wreaths” and are 8 to 12 inches wide and the perfect size!
Here are some of the best mini wreathsI’ve seen over the years!
Supplies Needed for Adding Cabinet Wreaths
- Mini Wreath or Wired Garland to Make a Wreath – one per each cabinet you want to decorate.
- Ribbon– You will need 2.5 feet of ribbon per wreath. This is a fun way to customize your kitchen to look like the rest of your decorthis holiday season. I prefer a 2-inch wide ribbon, but you could use avariety of sizes and styles.
- Command Hooks– I’ve used both these large, white command hooks and these small, clear command hooks. The small clear ones worked just fine if your wreaths aren’t heavy!
- Scissors
- Floral wire,optional
- Wire cutters,optional
- Measuring Tape
- Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks,optional
How to Hang Cabinet Wreaths
This method folds the ribbon over the wreathbefore hanging it up. If you don’t like this look, you can always attach the ribbon to the back of the wreathwith hot glue!
1. Buy or Make your Mini Wreaths
If you buy mini wreaths, you can go to the store, then skip to step 2.
If you don’t already have pre-made wreaths, make a 12-inch hoopwith greenery and twist the ends together with floral wire.
2. Decide Where the Wreathswill Hang on the Cabinet
I like to hang my wreathsin the upper half or top third of the cabinet door. Decide where the wreathswill go and this will tell you how long to make your ribbon.
3. Attach the Command StripHooks to the Inside Cabinet Door
I’ve tried every way to hang wreathson cabinet doorsand this is by far the easiest! You simply hang the command hooksupside downon the inside of the cabinet door.
Open the back of the cabinet doorand find the middle of the door with the measuring tape. Then mark about 2 inches from the top of the door. This will be where you place your command hook. Measure and mark for each cabinet.
You may have to re-measure for any extra large or small cabinets, like the ones over the fridgeor microwave.
I’ve left my command hooksthere for 3 years and I use them again every year. It’s so easy!
4. Cut Your Ribbon
The length of ribbonwill depend on how far you want the wreathto hang on the front of the cabinet door.
Measure from the top of the cabinet doorto the top of where you want the wreathto go. Then double that number and add 6 inches for hanging over the cabinet top.Most of my ribbons are 28 inches long.
5. Make a Knotor Cut Slits in the Ends of the Ribbons
Fold the ribbons in half, then you can use one of two methods:
- Cut a half-inch slit 2-3 inches from the end of the cut ends of the ribbon. Cut through both sides of the ribbon.
- Or, after placing the ribbon through the wreath, tie a knotin the end of the ribbon.
6. Hang up the Wreaths
Put the ribbon on either side of the wreathand slip the cut slit or knotover the command hook. Voila! How easy was that?
You now have the easiest and cutest way to decorate a kitchen for Christmas. And obviously you can hang a wreathon any door or window throughout your home.
I’ve even hung a wreathwith this method on my pantry door. You’ll just want to be sure the weight of your wreathcan be held up by the command hookand ribbon. A heavy wreathmight not work very well!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use this method on glass doors?
Yes! I have glass doors in my kitchen, so I use a small, clear command hookclose to the top of the cabinet door.
Do you have to remove the command hooks?
I don’t! I leave them up and use them year after year. It makes it really easy to decorate the kitchen each year.
Can I use a nail instead of a command hook?
Of course! Feel free to tap a small nail into the back of the cabinet door. I just prefer to use acommand hookso I don’t leave any marks and can remove them if I want!
