Christmas Wreaths

Yes, these were the "thing" last year but I never got around to making any until now...it's just like me to put things off and then search high and low for what I have in mind...well, not this year! These ornaments are in abundance everywhere you look...(I know you can buy ornaments everywhere but these are plastic). You can buy tube after tube in any color you like for around $1.00.
Before Thanksgiving, I started picking them up at Dollar Tree, Big Lots and Dollar General. I have given these to my girls and haven't made one for myself yet. I'm still debating on a color..the possibilities are endless. I also found the ribbon 1/2 off at various craft stores. If you haven't seen these and would like to see a tutorial, {click here}. If you don't want to take the time to read the tutorial. All you will need is a coat hanger (shaped into a circle), a hot glue gun for gluing the tops of the ornaments on..do not skip gluing the tops on, you will be sorry! They will pop off as you are stringing your ornaments onto the hanger. I like using small ones to help hide the hanger. Also, you will need many more than you think..probably around 80 for each wreath. If I can answer any questions, please email me! I love getting your emails!
Have a wonderful day!

More Christmas


Red and Silver decorations, completely different than what I have done in the past. I so wanted an old window or shutters for my mantle this year but I haven't been lucky enough to find them yet.



A close-up pic of the ornaments displayed in a vase and red and silver trees I had in my stash. These are some of my favorites.

Christmas Decor

I have seen this idea and decided I would give it a try...figuring it is a cheap free project and if I didn't like it..I wouldn't have anything invested :)
I already had the white spray paint, vase and ornaments on hand..can't beat the cost of this project!


Hugs...
