Pin It

November is behind us and December is already in full swing. I have been busy trying to get all my posts together as well as dealing with life itself. Among all the craziness I forgot to post Decembers Dinner Menu. I apologize in advance, so I will keep this short and to the point. We will be heading out of town after Christmas, so I did not post a full month of meals. I hope you find something you like.

DIY Christmas Ornament Wreath {Holiday Decorating}

Pin It

Christmas is fast approaching, so today I want to share a DIY holiday project that can easily be done in one afternoon. Christmas is my favorite holiday and l love decorating the house inside and out. Sometimes I can go a bit overboard, but it's all in fun. 

Every year I try to create a new decoration to add to my Christmas collection and I've always had a soft spot for DIY and  homemade decorations. As a Walmart mom I was challenged to come up with a Holiday Decorating Idea that utilizes items from the Christmas Department at Walmart. 

I needed a new wreath for the inside of our home, so today I'm going to show you how easy it is to make your own Christmas Ornament Wreath. I wasn't sure if I could pull this one off or not, but I'm so excited at how it turned out.  

I'm a traditional girl, so I chose traditional red and green ornaments for my wreath. There was also a few gold ornament included in the variety package that worked perfectly to help balance out all the colors. What I love most about this wreath is once displayed you can't even tell that the ornaments are shatterproof. They look just like real glass ball ornaments.

The price of the wreath came in at just under $25. I chose a larger decorative bow for $5.98, but you can get a less expensive one. If you already have glue sticks that will take it down even more. The holiday time shatterproof ornaments were priced at $8.98 for a 41 count package and $4.98 for additional 26 ornaments. Lets get started.

Supplies Needed (all purchased at Walmart)  

• 65 - 70  Shatterproof Ornaments various colors 
• Holiday Time Decorative Bow 
• 1 - 2 inch wide holiday ribbon (to hang the wreath)
• Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• One Wire Clothes Hanger
• Pliers
