10. Eucalyptus is your friend!
As we have already established, garlands can be made out of pretty much anything. The same applies to wreaths. Why not step back and revert to basics for a moment? We’ve seen pine used in basically everything, so why not use a different type of evergreen: eucalyptus? This earthy, minty tree has beautiful, oval-shaped leaves and can withstand some serious manhandling, so it’s perfect for projects like this. It is a simple, subtle touch with a fragrant scent – a great touch just where you need it.

You are not limited to using it in a wreath or garland, of course. This lovely leaf is as versatile as its other evergreen friends. You could add some sprigs in a jar with some string lights for an easy DIY centerpiece. Another option is to hang some sprigs upside down, tie them with twine or bright yarn, and create an alternative mistletoe ornament! To dress up your plain pillar candles, decorate them with fresh bunches of eucalyptus and some berries or other accessories.
