My favorite wreaths are always the leafy, minimalistic ones — squares of boxwood, rings of bay leaves and so on. I liked this beautiful magnolia wreath the minute I saw it — and even better, it's easy to make.

All you need are magnolia leaves and a 15-inch foam wreath that has been soaked in water — no glue or wire required.
