I know that it is a little late to post Christmas decoration/wreath ideas BUT Since you can make these with any color, I figure they can be made for any holiday or occasion so I still wanted to show you all. :)
These Ornament Wreaths are so simple and fairly inexpensive :)
PLUS the best thing about this wreath is that you can make it ANY size you want and in ANY color you want! I've seen Huge Wreaths and Small Wreaths! Red and Green, to Silver and Blue, to Pastels and Neon colors!
What you need:
Christmas ornaments (I got mine at Target, Plastic)
Wire hanger
Hot Glue and Glue Gun
Wire Cutters
What to do:
Remove all of the tops of the ornaments. (The part you normally use to hang the ornaments).
Now add a little hot glue and re-attach it. You will thank me for this step, DON'T skip it. Because if you do... you'll end up with more ornaments on the floor then on your pretty wreath... and no one wants that!
Next Take your wire hanger and bend it into a circle (or the best version of a circle that you can) :)
Snip your wire circle at the top near the hanger with the wire cutters, to open your circle.
Now, slide your ornaments onto the hanger. You will want them to "cluster" together so just keep threading them on and pushing them together until the circle is full and to your liking :)
Next, Close your wire hanger circle but twisting the wire end around the "Hanger". This may take some muscle....
Now your all done! Unless you want to add something else to the wreath :) I added a little Christmas decoration to mine and a Christmas bow to the one I made my Mom :)



If you make one send it my way and I'll post it here!
