I've never stepped into the handmade wreath world, but this year figured I'd like to make the journey. I always see photos of cute wreaths all over my FB feed or Pinterest and, gosh darn it, I felt left out!
The first one I saw and absolutely LOVED was this:
The first one I saw and absolutely LOVED was this:
I was a bit overwhelmed at the thought of all that hot gluing on a wreath and also questioned how well it would stay. Then I found another tutorial where you use a wire hanger. It seemed way easier and had less chance of me burning my finger off with hot glue. I can't find the tutorial I used, but here is a link to a similar one.
And here is my finished product!
It was super simple and took only about 1 1/2 - 2 hours from start to finish. It cost me about $15 in ornaments from Dollar Tree (I bought around 100) and I had about 20 left over that we put on our tree. So in the end, I probably could've saved a few more dollars, but I'm still really happy with it!
In case you don't want to follow the link above, the basic instructions are:
- Hot glue the tips onto the ornament themselves so that they don't fall off later
- Bend a wire hanger into a perfect circle
- Start stringing the ornaments onto the hanger, alternating sizes and colors and overlapping them so that all gaps are filled in
- Once all your ornaments are on, hook the two sides of your wire hanger together at the top
- Hang and enjoy!
