Christmas wreath

Okay so I may have been infected with the christmas stuff already and its not even thanksgiving yet !!!

Here is how you make this wreath, I found everything but the tulle at the dollar store. If you go there now or before thanksgiving you will probably find everything that you need and want at a great price :] I even found the wreath hanger at the dollar store and it is just as sturdy as the ones at walmart and kmart.

First stores do have other materials to make a wreath, but sadly I couldn't find any, Last week the dollar store had some wooden ones that were decent size and wooden I knew I should have grabbed it, this kind works just as well though. Its got plastic behind the shiny stuff. And if you do find a wreath, be sure to get one that is plastic, and to make sure its not the kind for floral items. It can't be the styrofoam.

You will need tulle, you can choose how long you want yours, I used about 12 inches per piece, you can go smaller but the smaller you go the harder it is to tie. And you can always cut some off after you tied it on. You will need about 25 to 50 pieces just depends on how close you want them. I find that it spreads out after Its tied on so it makes it fluffy.

Next you want to take each piece and tie it in one knot around the wreath for each piece. This is time consuming so be sure to start a movie and watch while you tie. Be sure to do this all the way around the wreath until it is completely done.

It should look like this after you have tied the tulle all the way around the wreath. You can leave it just like this, Or you can get out the ornaments and add more which is what I will show you below.

Next you want to take your "Merry Christmas" if you choose, and line it up where you want. This just avoids putting your hot glue in random places. I then took the sign off and glued only where I need it.

I then took the little ornaments, and jingle bells and arranged them where I wanted and placed glue there as well.

Then be sure to hang it up on the door so people can enjoy! 

In total I spend about $4.00 on the 1 wreath, 10 ornaments, 6 jingle bells, 1 "Merry Christmas" sign, the tulle I had left over from our wedding so I put them to go use. The ornaments came in a package of 10, So I can still use them for other items. Enjoy!
