My Version of ---

Remember this....

Here is my version of the Christmas Ornament Wreath-

I like how it turned out but just a few tips if you decide to make this --

1. Hot glueing (is that even a word??) the top hanger things is a MUST! It does take a little bit of time but less time that having them pop off the hanger in the middle of your project.

2. Once I strung the ornaments on the wire hanger and pushed them together as tight as I could, I still felt like it needed some more volume so I hot glued more ornaments on top of the ones strung on the wire.

On a side note -- I've had many people ask me about the cloth I hang over my door, which is the paisley material you can see behind the wreath. I took the idea from my SIL, Marci - she was using hers as a decorative piece but mine is actually a MARRIAGE SAVER! Yes, a marriage saver! I like my front door decorated for each season but Todd hates how they scrap and scratch the door. (I will admit that after 8 years the front door decor really had made the front door look horrible!) Late summer, we had our front door repainted and it looked brand spankin' new -- but was missing the decor - so that's when I stole Marci's idea. I've sewn one for fall and now Christmas so when I sew a new one I will post the details. But now you know the secret to a happy marriage -- a piece of cloth over your front door!!
