Sparkly Wreath - the replacement.

Last year you saw the awesome purple and gold wreath I made for Christmas to replace one that was several years old.  Some how… and I am not sure how… that awesome wreath has gone missing this year.  I have looked just about everywhere for it, in my house AND my parent’s house.  It’s gone!

Which only means one thing… Time to make a new one!

This year I decided not to make another purple and gold replacement, just incase the old, missing one shows back up.  I went to Garden Ridge once with Michael in hopes of gathering some sort of inspiration.  I collected a handful of ornaments and ended up putting them back because I just wasn’t getting the right vibe.  I went back with my mom, and put more of a thinking cap on.  I pondered colors schemes, or themes, or just things that I liked - when it hit me, I LOVE things that sparkle!  (But seriously, what girl doesn’t?!)  I decided to go all out with this wreath and use only ornaments and decorations that had glitter and sparkles on them!

Here’s the photo montage courtesy of my iphone:

The plain wreath with decorations everywhere on the table.

The first thing you have to do is decide ornament placement.

I hot glue the ornaments on the wreath before adding the ribbons.

Wrap some hot pink ribbon around the glittery, sparkly wreath and you are in business!! I also added some jingle bells that I got 70% off at Michaels with some gold yarn-like material.

A couple close up shots for you - who ever said green, red and gold were the only Christmas colors?!  

The finished product!  What do you think?  It has been raining all day today, so I am hoping it still sparkles tomorrow! 

Merry Sparkly Christmas! :)
