DIY: Holiday Wreaths

I saw this little DIY another blog and am so bummed because can't remember where to give credit!  Pottery Barn is selling gorgeous holiday wreaths that start at $80, but you can make them yourself (it's easy, I promise!) for a fraction of the price.  I put this little piece together last night with materials that only cost $20.  All it takes is a little time and you've got yourself a handmade holiday wreath that looks just as fabulous at PB's.

Here are the materials you will need to recreate this particular wreath (keep in mind, you can always change the colors or get a tinsel one...get creative!).  You can find these items pretty much anywhere... Michael's, Target, Pike's Nursery:
  1. Green wreath
  2. Red ball ornaments
  3. Silver ball ornaments
  4. Green (or matching color of your wreath) ornament hooks



Attach the ornaments to the wreath and try to affix them closer to the base of the stems.  That way the tops of the ornaments don't show as much.  You can also tweak them by simply twisting the ornaments clockwise to tighten things up.
