Holiday
Wreath
in less than 30 Minutes
The moment I saw these winter wonder ornaments I knew I had
to have them. I love everything blue and white. Wreaths and
ornaments are my go to holiday decor items so it just seemed right
to combine them together. I use wreaths for interior and exterior
decor. You can never have too many so I got started. I am in love with
the final product and wanted to share it with you. I have included a
number of pro tips from the lessons I learned from creating mine.
What you Need:
•
•
•
•
60-80 Round Ornaments
Wire Hanger
Glue Gun
Ribbon
Pro Tip: Mix large and small ornaments. Can you
use one color or mix multiple colors. If you use
more than 1 color I recommend doing 4
of the same color in a row. Some of the
ornaments will be on the backside of
the wreath and some on the the front
so you end of not seeing all them.
Instructions:
Step 1 - Take a wire hanger and bend it into a circle.
Step 2 - Check the tops of the ornaments. If they easily pull off add
a dot of glue with your hot glue gun.
Pro Tip: I originally skipped this step. I was happy the ornaments were
shatterproof because a number of them fell down. I ended up gluing
them after which was more difficult since they were attached to the wire
hanger.
Step 3 - Untwist the top of the hanger so you can easily add the
ornaments to it. Start adding the orn aments one by one. Use the
small ones to fill in the holes.
Pro Tip: You can use pliers or your hands. I ended up gluing on the smaller ornaments to fill in the gaps because I originally only purchased large
ornaments.
Step 4 - Once the wreath is filled up re-twist the hanger together
and secure with hot glue.
Step 5 - Cover the hook with your ribbon.

inspiration and information about local
events?
Pro Tip: I used two layers of ribbon because I was still able to see the
hook through my first ribbon. I like to use a ribbon with a wire so you can
bend the wire into the shape you want.
