DIY Ornament Wreath

We had a busy weekend around here! We had Topher’s side of the family’s Thanksgiving on Saturday. After that I was back to work on a project.  Sunday was spent taking pictures for a couple of this week’s posts, cleaning up around here, and working on a couple of other new projects.

Somewhere in between, the unnamed child and I watched “People Like Us”. It was a good movie.

We also looked for a car for the unnamed child but didn’t come up with a winner yet.  Topher’s looking too, we spent a few minutes poking around for him as well.

The unnamed child went to the Phillip Phillips and John Mayer concert last night, so it was a late night for Topher having to pick her and her friends up. It didn’t bother me at all since I never sleep anyway.

While putting up my Christmas decor, I realized I didn’t have a Christmas wreath. I did have my Pumpkin Topiary, and I needed something to match that. I  wanted to do an ornament wreath last year, and I didn’t have the time and wasn’t sure quite how to do it. So I decided to go ahead and wing it this year.

I want to start off by saying you need a lot of ornaments. Dollar tree is your friend; otherwise, you will be spending a fortune on ornaments. They did have tubes of ornaments, each containing 12.

I used around 15 of these guys.

Here is what you need:

  • 15 tubes of ornaments, I got two different sizes
  • One tube of tiny ornaments
  • A wreath form
  • A roll of ribbon
  • One pipe cleaner the same color as your ribbon, and
  • A hot glue gun with a lot of glue sticks

First start out by laying your first row of ornaments. I staggered them having one on each side.

If you are using different sizes, use the larger ones here.

After you have covered the whole wreath, then start filling in the gaps with the smaller ornaments. You will also want to do a row on the inside and outside of the wreath.

Once the whole wreath is covered, look for any gaps and fill those in with your tiny-sized ornaments.

Then take your ribbon and cut off a 10-12 inch piece. Tie a loop around the top of your wreath and tie it in a knot. Then make a bow and attach it to your loop with your pipe cleaner.

That’s it!

It’s not a hard project to make, but it does take a bit of time.

It would be a perfect gift for someone for Christmas!

    15, no 16 tubes! You are right, the Dollar store IS my friend. I must say that the wreath tuned out to be STUNNING! Great idea.

      Thanks Fariba! Oh wait, I just looked at your email address. Is your first name Fariba or Kafi? Your avatar name says Fariba but in your email it says Kafi. I want to make sure I am calling you by the right name!
