"She makes coverings for her bed;" -Proverbs 31:22a. The Proverbs 31 woman cares about the looks of her household. In an attempt to make our house a little more decorative, my sister (Whitney Wreathmaker) and I set out to make an ornament wreath. So far, I have made two of them.
It helps a lot if two people work on this togehter. Here is what you need.
-wire coat hanger
-tons of matching ornaments in all different sizes, but all round (get the cheapest ones you can find! We used Styrofoam ones :) )
-hot glue gun
-about 1.5 hours of time
-some pretty ribbon (just enough to make a bow)
Here are the steps...
1) Untwist the coat hanger and bend it into a circle (we bent ours around a big pot to get a better circle shape)
2) hot glue the tops of the ornaments (the little hanger things of the ornaments are really flimsy - hot glue them so they will be secure)
3) string on the ornaments trying to alternate colors
4) keep stringing
-at first it doesn't seem like it's going to work, but keep pushing them together, IT WILL WORK
5) after the whole circle is filled up, twist the hanger back together - use plyers!
6) use a ribbon to cover up the hanger part :) That's it!!!
PS - my ornaments took about 80 different ornaments each (though some of the ornaments were teeny-tiny)
You must try this!!!
