How to Make an Ornament Wreath :: Video Tutorial

DSC_0885-1I am sure you have seen these lovely ornament wreaths hoping around blogland the last few years.  Well, two years later, after falling in love, I finally made one.  And I even put together a little how to video for you all.  The wreath is as glorious as I dreamed it would be… 

What you will need:

-Wire coat hanger (I hear dry cleaner hangers work best)

-Butt-load of ornaments (I used 57)

-A piece of duct tape

-Ribbon to hang it from

-Wire Cutters

DSC_0884After I finished stringing the ornaments on the coat hanger, I intertwined the hook part back together.  Once I had the wreath fully intact, I used heavy duty wire cutters to snip off the hook.  I then found some corresponding thick ribbon to hang it from. DSC_0886 Probably the most beautiful thing in my home at the moment…and all for only about $10!

What are you inspired to make this year?

  4. I love the colors you used for this! I made one last year but I used plain red and green. I'm impressed that you were able to find enough ornaments that cheaply too!

  7. Thanks for the tutorial--my dd watched this with me. This looks like a good and easy project she can work on for a home school art project. We both lol at your comment about buying all that Target had in the dollar section.

    Hope you have a Thanksgiving filled with blessings!!

  8. seriously, why do you do this to me? don't you know I went to Ikea and now have all plastic hangers?!
    OK, I'm gonna forgive you because you look so darn cute explaining the process. I checked my Target and I'm so glad I live so far from you this time-they still have them.
    I'll send you a pic once I make this one (oh yes I will!)

  10. Love this idea!! I especially love that you don't need any hot glue or special supplies for this. I was thinking that this might make a nice Christmas gift for my mother-in law. Thanks!
