This year I’m trying to spend very little money on Christmas decorations. I feel with having 18 storage totes full of Christmas decorations I need to make do with what I already have. I consider this wreath free because I had all the supplies stored away in the Christmas totes. I couldn’t tell you when I bought any of them, except I’m sure they were at an “after Christmas sale”. The ball ornaments are plastic and they came in a big container, probably from Tai Pan or Hobby Lobby. The wreath has been in the basement for at least 3 years.
I decided not to use the red ornaments yet, maybe for another wreath later. I really like the look of the green and silver ornaments together so that’s what I decided to go with. I’ve seen this type of wreath so many places lately, I can’t tell you where it started, but I love the look. I tied the ornaments on the wreath with thin wire. If I put more than one ornament in an area, I used PK’s idea and wired them together first. It saved alot of time and made a lot of sense. I have about 5 ornaments left so I might add those in later, but for now I’m pleased with it.
Here’s another one I made with bulb ornaments tied together. I bought these a few years ago at Hobby Lobby, and of course, the wreath and ribbon had just been hanging out downstairs. Maybe I’ll add some of those red ornaments into this one.
I have at least 2 more naked wreaths downstairs, so you know they’ll be more to come, once inspiration hits.
