Ornament Wreath!!

I love decorating for Christmas!!! When I saw the tutorial for this ornament wreath on Eddie Ross' blog I knew I had to give it a try!
You'll need:
- a wire hanger (the flimsiest one you can find!)



- hot glue (no good craft is made without it!)
- shatter-free Christmas ornaments in the colors of your choice
(That giant container was only $10 at my favorite store! Love me some Hobby Lobby!!!)



- a big 'ol fatty piece of ribbon to hang it on your door
First, bend the hanger into a nice wreath shape, aka a circle.

Hotglue on the tops onto the ornaments- this is a very important step.... forgive me for not photographing it.
Next, slide the ornaments onto the hanger. To hide the wire, use different sizes of ornaments to fill in the gaps.
Hook the 2 ends of the hanger back together using some pliers-- you might be able to do this step without pliers, but my hanger was rediculously hard to bend.

Step back and admire your work!



Total cost of this project- $14!!!
Get crafting!

  1. Hey Jen! Thought I would tell you how much I love your blog. April and I were roomates and sorority sisters in college and she directed me your way. You are super talented and it's fun to follow you and what you are up to. Not sure how you find the time with two little little ones! I started my own blog as well since I got so inspired by other people's craft blogs. It's new and hopefully you will be inspired too. http://holy-craft.blogspot.com/
