sparkly wreath (a photo tutorial)

So I couldn't resist the urge to make just one more glitter wreath this year, and since someone had asked me about a tutorial, I thought I'd show you how I make them.

Supplies: ornaments, glittery doodads, shiny baubles, jingly bells
wire wreath form, tinsel garland
glue gun, lightweight wire

Begin by tucking the tinsel into the wire form....

and continue all the way around:

Tie on a ribbon for hanging. You won't be able to do this once all the balls are glued on, so make sure to do it now!

Thread some wire through the ornaments, and secure them onto the wreath.

Start with the large ornaments, and space them around the wreath

Once the large ornaments are secured, start filling in with the bigger decorative pieces:

And then add the smaller ornaments and jingly bells.

I use wire to secure everything I can, and then fill in with hot glue
so the ornaments don't move around.

Voila! This wreath took under an hour to make.
