I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I did! AND now we get to focus on Christmas! Yay! While many of you are braving the blistering wind and long lines today, I am cozy at home get my house ready for Christmas. Now is the time to adorn your front door with a beautiful Christmas wreath! So here is a fun little project that only cost about $5 and takes about 15 minutes.
These are the supplies that I used and how much they cost
1. An evergreen wreath of your choice. I got this one last year on clearance for 1.99!
2. Christmas ornaments that go with your decor. I picked 2 packages of these gold and pewter sparkley ornaments at the Dollar Tree costing me a whopping $2
3. Pipcleaners! You can also use floral wire, but I didn't have any and pipe cleaners are super cheap and easy to work with!
4. Ribbon to hang the wreath! I also got my ribbon at the Dollar Tree.
First, "fluff" the wreath! Noboby likes a wreath that is flat as a pancake! Second, cut the pipecleaners in half and string an ornament on the pipecleaner.
Pick where you want the little booger to go and twist it around on the back like so:
Easy Peasy! Repeat until you have used up all your bulbs or your wreath is full of beautifully decorated Christmas ornaments! And this is what it will look like when finished.
I didn't like how sparatic the ornaments were and I thought it needed a little something extra. So I moved them around a bit so they were in clusters of three and then I added some gold twirly branches that I already had to make it a little more festive. The great thing about moving them is that you can just adjust them without having to undo the wire, just slide them around a bit until you like the arrangment!
Ahh, that's better! Well, there you have it, $5 and 15 minutes and you can tailor a wreath to beautify your front door!
