Ok, I know it's just beginning of November, but if you want to have your decorations up the entire Christmas season you have to have them done early! I saw the idea for making an ornament wreath on Nannygoat and knew I wanted to make one. I hadn't read the tutorial, but saw the picture and figured I could figure it out. It turns out I did it differently then the tutorial she posted (they used a wire hanger). So today I headed over to my local Dollartree and purchased one foam wreath and $7 in plastic Christmas ornaments. I already had glue sticks and some Christmas ribbon.
First I removed the little plastic tops from the ornaments.
Then I started gluing ornaments around the center and then around the outside. Then fill in the spaces.
In all it took me about 30 minutes, 4 mini glue sticks and $8 ($7 in ornaments and $1 for the wreath!).
They have some pretty silver, blue and purple ornaments there, I might have to make another one! I got a mix of 3 small (5 to a package) and 4 large (12 to a pack with 5 left over) ornaments. I also got a foam cone to see If I could make an ornament tree!!
So break out your Christmas crafts and get cracking so you can enjoy them the entire month of December!!

I saw this the other day and have been contemplating making one too. Yours turned out great!
Awesome. Seriously, that is so cute. P.S. Buy the Glee c.d.. SO good.
I exclaimed with delight when I saw your wreath. I love Christmas wreaths! Yours is so cute. I have to have one.
Prettier than the store-bought ones I have seen. Thank you for the lovely tutorial!
So pretty!!! I just might have to make one!! :)
Nice job! It looks easy enough, but honestly, could I do it? You know what I mean, I'm a crafting retard.
Wow, that is really, really, really cute. How did you do the ribbon part? I may go get the supplies and then drop by your house so you can help me. :)
did you get your bulbs at Walmart and just the wreath at dollertree?
