DIY Gingerbread Christmas Wreath

I love decorating our home for Christmas. Each year, I choose a different Christmas theme, and this year I picked a whimsical gingerbread theme! So when Hobby Lobby contacted me about coming up with a DIY Christmas wreath, I was so excited to create something special. I headed to my local Hobby Lobby, where I had the BEST time exploring all the Christmas aisles. And guess what? Right now, all of Hobby Lobby’s Christmas Department is 50% off!

Let me show you how I created this adorable Gingerbread Christmas Wreath that’s perfect for adding a little sweetness to your holiday decor.

Gingerbread Christmas Wreath Supplies

I found everything for this wreath at Hobby Lobby, making it so convenient to bring my gingerbread vision to life! Here’s what you’ll need and where to find each item your Hobby Lobby store:

25-Inch Norfolk Pine Wreath
I picked up the most realistic evergreen wreath in the Christmas section. The lush, bouncy tips are perfect for creating a festive base.

Gingerbread-Person-Shaped Cutting Board
This adorable cutting board caught my eye in the kitchen Christmas decor aisle. It’s the perfect whimsical centerpiece for this wreath.

Krylon Decor Selects Satin Brown Boots Spray Paint
You’ll find a wide variety of spray paints, including the perfect gingerbread-inspired shade, in the craft supplies section.

Unfinished Wood Snowflakes
These wood ornaments came from the Christmas crafts aisle. They’re easy to customize and make adorable gingerbread “cookies.”

Ribbon Bundle
I fell in love with the ribbon bundles in the ribbon and fabric section. The colors and textures—like rickrack and cording—are perfect for a gingerbread theme.

Small Pearl Buttons
These tiny pearl buttons were in the sewing section and add the sweetest detail to the gingerbread centerpiece.

Other Supplies
Don’t forget your essentials, like a glue gun, glue sticks (or E6000 glue for a stronger hold), and evergreen pipe cleaners, all of which you can also find in the craft supplies section.

Hobby Lobby truly has everything you need to create a beautiful Christmas wreath, all in one place!

Supplies You’ll Need to Make a Tis Gingerbread Wreath

Here’s everything I used for this project:

Main Supplies:

25-inch Norfolk pine wreath
Gingerbread-person-shaped cutting board
Krylon spray paint
One pack of unfinished wood snowflakes
Ribbon bundle
Small pearl buttons

Other Supplies:

Glue gun and glue sticks (or E6000 glue)
Evergreen pipe cleaners (optional) If you don’t want to use the pipe cleaners to tie the cutting board onto the wreath, you can also hot glue or use E6000 to glue the cutting board to the wreath.

Preparing the Gingerbread Cookies

The first step in creating this wreath is transforming the wood snowflakes into adorable gingerbread cookies. I used two coats of spray paint on one side of the ornaments, let them dry, and then flipped them over to paint the backs.

Once the snowflakes were completely dry, I used paint pens to draw fun snowflake embellishments.

I created two different designs and painted three snowflakes in each pattern. They turned out so cute—like little cookies fresh out of the oven!

Attaching the Gingerbread Centerpiece

To attach the gingerbread-person cutting board, I first wrapped the twinkle lights around the wreath, making sure they were evenly distributed. I secured the battery pack to the back of the wreath using an evergreen pipe cleaner. It’s easy to tuck the battery pack out of sight this way.

Then, I attached the cutting board to the center of the wreath. I used pipe cleaners on the back of the arms and legs, securing them tightly to the wreath’s wire frame. If you prefer a stronger hold, you can use E6000 glue, but keep in mind it takes 24 hours to set completely.

Adding Sweet Details

What’s a gingerbread person without buttons? I used wire cutters to remove the backs of some pearl buttons, then glued them down the center of the cutting board. These little details make the wreath feel extra special. Next, I hot-glued the snowflake “cookies” onto the evergreen wreath. I arranged them evenly around the greenery for a balanced look.

Finishing Touches with Ribbon

The final step was adding the ribbons. From the ribbon bundle, I chose about 12 pieces in different colors and textures. I tied each piece into a small knot and attached them to the bottom of the wreath for a playful, whimsical effect.

With the ribbons in place, I flipped the switch on the twinkle lights and hung the wreath in our gingerbread-themed kitchen. It adds the perfect amount of holiday cheer!
