How many of you like to make your own Christmas Wreaths?![]()
I am making mine again this year, and best of all I'm teaching 15 family members how to make theirs too!
They will be twinkling and super cute.... I'll be sure to post photos!![]()
I usually get my Wreaths from LL Bean, I've thought about making my own but wouldn't know where to start.
I am the proud mom to the best little boy in the world Brian, he is my life!!

Not here, but it sounds like a fun idea... Maybe I'll look for some ideas on it. Or if you get a few replies in here... hint hint. :P

We usually cut a few branches off the bottom of the tree to get it to fit into the holder so I take those branches and make a wreath for our door out of them.

I made my own tear drop one. I can't find a picture of it right now but it is very pretty, not tooting my own horn, lol. It has a burnt orange, deep red and gold ribbon fixed into it, battery operated lights, a large bow out of the same ribbon, copper and 'rusted metal' snow flake tin ornaments I permanently fixed into it, with s few other embellishments. The same ribbon and ornaments are fixated in my christmas tree potted topiary by the front door and the planters on my windows. It matches the brick on my house, lol. I get tons of compliments. It cost me about $30 to make because I bought premium ribbon and ornaments for it.
We do this too!

I never thought to try that! It sounds like something I could do with my class, I look forward to the pictures.
