This month I am going to show you an ornament wreath I made like many we have seen on Pinterest. I really had a blast creating this wreath. It's a fun and easy project to make.
I purchased these plastic ornaments at the drug store after the holidays for $5. I had the 12 inch wreath form and the two inch ribbon on hand. The only other things required were a hot glue gun and a pipe cleaner.
I wrapped the ribbon around the wreath form and periodically glued it into place because I didn't want the green to show through.
Once I got going glueing the ornaments on, I forgot to take more pictures! I removed the gold caps that hold the ornaments onto the tree - they came off quite easily with a simple twist. I started by gluing a row of ornaments around the lower outer wreath form so that the ornaments laid flush with the table.
Then I glued more on wherever they seemed to fit. I didn't mind the ribbon showing, in fact, I liked when the ribbon showed through.
Finally, I twisted a red pipe cleaner to make a loop and glued it on the back for hanging. Different colored and sized ornaments can be used for this wreath. This package of same-sized ornaments had 4 different textures which added interest to mine.
It only took about an hour to make and it will add a nice holiday touch to our home when December comes around!

I tried to leave a comment a couple of minutes ago, but it did not seem to make it through. Love your wreath!
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is lovely and will add a wonderful touch to your Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteI bought a couple of packets of similar balls in gold and white.
I put them into a lovely flat glass bowl - it sat on my large coffee table and everyone commented!
I love Kim's idea of an Easter Egg wreath too!

ReplyDeleteWho says its too early to start Xmas? As it would be the most awaited time of the year, having a monthly Xmas decor project is great! Thank you for sharing your project in my shy Beautiful Sunday series. Wishing you a great week ahead Patty!
ReplyDeletePatty, I love your wreath! And using plastic ornaments is inspired. I get nervous when I see those wreaths that are made from vintage glass ornmanents - one bad move and bye-bye wreath!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in this week!

This turned out so cute. I love using a glue gun and what a great idea to use a pipe cleaner to hold it. I'll have to try that! Hugs!
