1. A sock wreath
Estimated New Cost: $50–60* Estimated DIY Cost: $30–35*
Someone shouldn’t actually be punished for attempting to make the sock wreath work because it was already a lousy invention. The idea behind the sock wreath was to supposedly take a number of socks, maybe ones that had lost their other half, and wrap them around a cardboard tube that was formed like a wreath. Put a ribbon on it, and it takes on a festive appearance.

One do-it-yourselfer chose Halloween as their holiday of choice, which is reasonable since Halloween decorations can look even worse. However, their wreath looked more like an oval sock than a wreath. In any case, this is significantly less expensive than a real wreath, which should cost at least $50 to $60.
