20. Make a Holdiay Wreath

Still trying to get in touch with my inner craftiness.  This wreath was relatively simple to make.  I got the idea off of a fun DIY blog.

My daughter wanted purple for the Baltimore Ravens so I went ahead with that.  Not exactly the Ravens colors but we'll go with it.  Putting the ornaments onto the hanger proved to be a pain and it seemed like it would take a lot more ornaments so I decided to cover the hanger in garland and make ornament clusters.  I don't know if I am 100% satisfied but I do think it was a good first attempt. (I still need to snip some strings and conceal the hanger)

What I used:
Hanger
String
Garland
Christmas ornaments
Clip on flowers

Steps:

• Make a ring out the wire hanger to use as the wreath frame.
• Wrap garland around the hanger.
• Make clusters of ornaments by feeding a piece of string through the ornaments.
• Secure onto hanger as desired.

If you make a wreath one little thing I noticed, rotate it a few times when you are done.  You may end up liking it better.
