I was sick with bronchitis for a week (before, during, and after Christmas) which left me bored and in the mood to craft. I might also mention that I missed a vacation to the Dominican Republic because I was sick, which made it even worse.My friend Mallory has a great blog- houseofhydrangeas.blogspot.com -and I saw this ornament wreath craft project on it. It was super easy and could be made for less than $20-$25 if you find the ornaments on sales. All you need is:
• One wire clothes hanger
• About 80 total ball ornaments in small, medium and large sizes
• Hot glue gun to glue the ornament tops on more securely (optional- I didn't need this step b/c mine were plastic and very secure)
• Ribbon (I haven't finished mine with ribbon yet)
Step 1:
Open the clothes hanger and shape in to a circle.
Step 2:
Thread ornaments on hanger through where the ornament hook would go in alternating sizes- I did it in this order: large, medium, small, large, medium, large, medium, small, etc.
Step 3:
Keep threading ornaments until wreath is mostly full. Once you get to a good stopping point, close the hanger by twisting it back together.
Step 4:
Wrap coordinating ribbon on top to cover the exposed hanger.
Step 5:
Finish with a bow. Voila!
