    I had seen several of these on ebay & ETSY and fell in love with them! They were asking way too much so I decided to make my own! This one is made with all colors of ornaments. I think the next one I do I might stick with only one or two colors, maybe incorporate some vintage ornaments. :-D

    Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! When the ornaments go on 1/2 price sale after Christmas, I'm going to snag a few boxes and make ornament wreaths for our Christmas exchange at the church next year.
    May I ask what you use for a form--wire, pre-made? I'm not very crafty, so please explain in the simplest terms possible what form you use and how you attach the ornaments.
    Thank you for the help!

    Very nice Deanna, I think you did a great job on that. I am assuming you glued it together, but what kind of glue did you use?

    Thanks everyone! I used cheap ornaments and hot glue sticks! I figured out real quick that you want to use the LONG glue sticks because the little ones go way too fast!! I bought the wreath form at Michael's. This morning in my email I received a 50% off coupon from them, think I might use the coupon and go get another form for next year :p The website where I got the directions said to store this inside the house so that temperature fluctuations won't cause the glue to break or become brittle~good tip! Now I need to find a good box and a clear spot to hide it in after the holiday :-?
