DIY Christmas Ornament Wreath

Have you been looking all over for the perfect holiday wreath? Well I have ... and I may have found my fix! Or temporary fix .. LOL .. until I find another FUN idea!

The fix .... a super colorful and way easy DIY Christmas Ornament Wreath. This wreath was so so easy to make and turned out super whimsical and fun .. just how I envisioned.

Ok, so I wanted something to go with the "pseudo" theme of our tree, although you can't see the tree from outside of the house. Our tree is very playful .. packed full of colorful lights and ornaments that the kids have picked out or made. The Christmas tree in our eyes is a reflection of our family and memories that we share together. I wanted the wreath that hung on our door to be a modern reflection of that same idea.

Like many of us .. I looked at all sorts of craft stores for pre made wreaths or ideas for wreaths. I looked on Etsy and Pinterest for fun ideas I could buy or make myself .. In the end I compiled all of the fun things that I saw and liked and came up with this easy idea that I was able to make myself.

You can totally make this wreath with basic supplies and then run with it and make it your own .... Have so much fun making your one of a kind wreath!

* 20 in. green fir wreath (any size wreath will do)

* 23 - 3 in and 10 - 1.5 in. size round Christmas ornaments in your color, theme etc (if you have a different size wreath or you are using a different size ornament you can estimate the number of balls you will need). You can also use as many or as few Christmas ornaments you like.

* Extra frill to put in between the ornaments (we chose sparkle curly cues, candies, peppermint candies and red berry sprigs)

* Glue gun

* Glue sticks

First lay your ornaments in the pattern you would like them on the wreath. As you lay them on the wreath think about how the wreath will hang on the door, what your fillers are going to look like and where they will sit. After you figure layout and place your ornaments you can glue ... glue carefully, as we all know, the glue can be stringy and you will end up cleaning a lot of glue strings if not careful! After you get the ornaments glued on the wreath you can lay in the filler. Lay your filler as just that, filler .. place in areas that need a little more pizazz, color, glitter etc. After you lay your filler and you love the way it looks ... glue it! Let everything dry and clean up the extra glue strings (you will have some), hang and let everyone enjoy your beautiful Christmas creation!!
