My First Christmas Wreath


  I am so excited that the Holiday season has finally arrived! I just love decorating for Christmas! Today, I have a very easy, traditional wreath to share with you. Last night, I was able to make this in well under an hour and I didn't have to go out and spend any money buying things to make it. I already had everything I needed. 


Materials I used:
18 inch grapevine wreath
green garland
ornaments
glittery picks
hot glue gun


  First, I wrapped the garland around the wreath. I just tucked the ends into the wreath. It is ok if your grapevine wreath is visible through the garland in some spots. I actually found that it is better this way. 


Next, glue the ornaments into the bare spots. I started with my bigger red ornaments, then added some tiny red balls. 




Then, I added these pretty glittery picks. I cut the long stem off all but a couple of inches and just stuck them randomly around the wreath. I used red and bright green.


I thought the wreath might still need a little something more so I added a few apple green glittery ornaments.


  That is all there was to it! I hope you like my new Christmas wreath and feel inspired to make one for your own home!

    Good job! That is really pretty! I had bought everything to make a wreath for our door, then my husband pulled out the decorations and we found one we had bought last year. Oh well!
