Greenery to fill the skates – such as cedar, pine, boxwood.
Holiday picks and jingle bells
How to make an Ice Skate Wreath:
I tied the skate laces together in a bow a few inches up from the top of the skates and hung it on the hook on our gate. Then I hung the wreath so that the skates are lying on the bottom of the wreath.
Next I filled the skates with cedar boughs and boxwood from my yard (or use whatever greenery you’d like!)
Then I topped the wreath off with a green bow and tucked in cedar, boxwood, some jingle bells and a green berry pick into the skates for a little touch of sparkle.
This took literally minutes to put together and only cost $4 for the skates!
I love the simple ‘old school’ vintage look of this wreath and wintery vibe.
It reminds me of the days I spent as a kid skating on an outdoor pond by our home, and reminds me of all of the fun times we’ve spent skating with our boys at the skating rink!
I hope you like my DIY Ice Skate Wreath Decor project!

November 16, 2016 at 5:02 pmHeather, I love this idea. This wreath can be used all winter long. I like the simplicity of the skates, one big bow, some greens! Not overdone but interesting. Have you ever see a pair of skates found in a craft department? Any ideas as how to fins vintage skates?
Thanks Nancy Elizabeth

November 21, 2016 at 2:32 pmMy grand daughter ice skates at the Charleston Ice Palace. She wants this for the front door. We start decorating on Thanksgiving, and the front door decoration is the first thing we put up.

November 21, 2016 at 3:08 pmNow I am going to have to find my baby skates! I’ve always wanted to do this. I have a pair of white skates with white fur around the ankles, and they have cute buckles on the side from a strap that goes over the top of the foot; over the laces. They would be perfect for this!

Tamara says
November 30, 2016 at 7:15 pmThis wreath is simple and fresh! And can be left up all winter. I like decor that can be left up well passed the Christmas season since usually when Christmas decor comes down the house looks empty and boring, and Valentine’s Day is 2 months away!

November 30, 2016 at 11:04 pmI love your ice skating wreath! I’ve just saw skates hung on a door on BHG but I like yours so much better. What is the greenery hanging down over the skates, that is so pretty and the other tulip type thing sticking out? It’s just perfect, and the way you did the bow, it is so elegant, how did you do a bow like that?
heather says
December 2, 2016 at 9:00 amThanks so much Lynn for the compliments!! The greenery I put in the skates is some real cedar branches and boxwood. The green glittered tulip decor is a decorative holiday ornament I bought at a local store. I’ll have to do a tutorial on the bow! It’s looped then wired into a bow shape. Then I tucked the tails into the wreath. Hope that helps!
