girly ornament wreath

a fun idea first spotted on better homes and gardens website as seen here on an older post

so glad i was able to make and finish it without getting sleepy or gagging

okay- i did have to take a few breaks to drink water and breathe but the point is- it got finished!

fun girly colors

i am not doing a "themed" Christmas this year so my decor is more mismatched right now

this year is an experimental year- trying to figure out what decor i love best and what works for the house

and im enjoying every fragile piece of decor i have- before kiddos :)

( a quick thank you and shout out to my friend S who gave me a wire hanger!)

please excuse my imperfect wreath bow

who knew velveteen ribbon was so hard to work with!?

wire ribbon is your friend

just so pretty

here is a tutorial by domestic fashionista on how to make these wreaths

simple, affordable and chic

supplies needed:

- pliers

- a wire hanger

- lots of ornaments (im guessing around 50)

- bow (optional)

- hot glue gun (if you want to secure the top of the ornament to the ornament- i broke an ornament because it popped off accidentally when i tried rearranging it) 

random tips:

- once the wreath is arranged, quit playing with it! (less prone to breaking)

- make your bow before stringing your ornaments

- use inexpensive ornaments (dollar store anyone?)

- have a plan before making the wreath of where you plan on hanging it; set it up before making

- be careful!
