Quite possibly the easiest wreath ever!

I've seen this idea on several different websites and had to make one of my own! It didn't turn out to be as easy as I'd hope and I'm not entirely sure I'm pleased with mine but I can always tear it apart and start over! 

Supplies needed:

Floral wire- you can get a 6 foot roll for $1 at DT which is probably enough to make two wreaths depending on the size you'd like


Various ornaments- I used some that I had on hand and picked some more up at the DT. You can use various colors and sizes or the same colors and sizes. Up to you. 






*A little tip to make your life easier-hot glue the tops of the ornaments on. This will save you lots of trouble and ornaments popping off in the long run! 


Just take the ornaments then and string them on the wire. There doesn't have to be an special pattern to it. You can add as many ornaments as you'd like but keep in mind that they'll have to be pretty compacted to make the wreath look good. When you're all done string on ornaments just take the two ends of the wire and bring them together. Twist them into a circle and you have a fabulous new wreath!  




Ta-da! I'm not crazy about the color gold at all which is why I might end up tearing this one apart and starting over. But you get the idea! Let me see pictures of yours!
