The Ultimate Geeky DIY Holiday Wreath
I love a good wreath during the holidays. But forget all of your pine cones and glittery ornaments. A wreath should be geeky and show everything that you love on it. Well, the folks over at Our Nerd Home have created just such a wreath. And it is an instant Christmas classic as far as I’m concerned.
They combined a ton of different and equally awesome geeky things on their bright wreath, with icons representing Robocop, LEGO, the TARDIS, Batman, Fallout, Q*Bert, Heisenberg and more. Now that’s a wreath.
It looks more difficult to make than it is. They just drew the shapes onto foam board, cut them with an X-acto knife, and used markers and paint to add the bright colors. It looks very dimensional. You can make one yourself and put all of your favorite geeky things on it.
Ok, it’s not as classic as this wreath, but it’s still pretty awesome.
