Tutorial for a Christmas Ornament Wreath
Supplies used:
- Wreath form (mine was six inches wide)
- Ribbon
- Thin ribbon or wire
- Shiny and jeweled ornaments
- Hot glue
- Hair dryer
Steps to make a wreath:
- First, wrap a wreath form with ribbon (securing the ends down with hot glue).
- Then, wrap a thin wire or ribbon loosely around the wreath form. It will be used later to hang the wreath (not pictured… I added mine after I glued down the ornaments and it was harder to do with the ornaments already on the wreath).
- With the wreath form lying on a flat surface, glue a layer of ornaments to the wreath around the circumference of the wreath. Attach glue between the ornaments, the wreath and each other.
- Then, glue a layer of ornaments on top of the first layer and the front of the wreath.
- Continue to add more ornaments, filling in any gaps as you work. Use smaller ornaments, if desired, to cover any holes.
- Use the heat from a hair dryer to blow away any glue gun strings.
- Tip: you do need to be careful using hot glue with foam shapes (ornaments and the wreaths). The heat can ‘melt’ the foam a little, but if you are careful, it can be done.
