Mini Christmas Wreath

December 1, 2010

So last year, my mom saw an idea online to make a wreath out of different sized glass ornaments. So my sister, mom and I decided to give it a go. I think that in the end, mine was the only one that went. Mom ended up redoing hers several times and then dropped and broke some of it. I think it’s in their basement. My sister thought hers looked too much like an Easter craft because of the colors she chose. I thought both of them did a great job and they turned out cute, but in the end mine was the only one that made it to the front door. I will snap a picture of it tomorrow when I get it out as I start to decorate for Christmas.

This year, I found a mini wreath holder and these mini glass balls at a discount store. I’ve been wanting a wreath holder like this for a bit now. I then took some wire and bent it into a circular shape. I started to string on the balls and just put them on there pretty randomly. I didn’t attempt to make it look uniform. Then I bent the ends of the wire to hook on each other and placed it on the holder.

Now it looks so cute sitting on our fireplace mantel.

I also learned while taking pictures of this project that it’s important to be mindful of what you are wearing when taking pictures of reflective objects. I threw a jacket on over my pajamas really quick after I snapped and previewed the first few pictures. I refuse to be like the people taking pictures of toasters to sell on eBay with reflections of freaky stuff.
