I couldn’t resist the urge……..
you know, follow the pack, copy my peers heroes.
Last year I made my first {Glass} Ball Ornament Wreath
You can buy wreaths like this with vintage glass ornament, and they’re not cheap!
If you can’t buy it….MAKE it!!
That’s EXACTLY what I did! For just under $15!– AWESOME!
I didn’t have vintage glass ornaments, instead I bought shatter proof ornaments at Walmart.

This year, I started seeing these wreaths pop up all over blogland again.
Eddie Ross started the ball rolling with a fabulous idea using a WIRE HANGER!
I’m pretty sure most of us have them, we may not like them, and may not admit that we use them sometime – but I bet you have a spare wire hanger in your house! I did! **note, use a flimsy wire hanger, it’s much easier to work with!
I headed to the Dollar Tree I turned all of this
into THIS!
I LOVE it!!
I don’t know if it’s the colors, or the varying textures, but I LOVE this one even more.
Sarah, the FABULOUS Thrifty Decor Chick has a great step by step tutorial on how to make the wreath with a wire hanger! Go read her instructions, learn from her mistakes!
These wreaths don’t have to be just for Christmas………
check out the one Chris of Just a Girl made, wouldn’t that be cute for Easter?!
Do you have a Christmas Craft to share? Maybe you’re still looking for some Christmas Craft ideas…….

Yours turned out so pretty! I made one in similar colors, but it's starting to droop a little.

They're both completely gorgeous! For those near an Ikea, I picked up huge bags of ornaments in the Ikea scratch & dent area for super cheap not too long ago. They have great deals on ball ornaments in general, too.

Looks beautiful!! I did this with an old ribbon wreath. I added lots of black ornaments to it this year and I love it! Just to think, I almost threw it away!! 🙂

Beautiful! I have seen these around (like you said), but I just love the uniqueness of each of them…different colors, sizes of bulbs, style, etc. I would really love to make one with purples and silvers since I'm a huge fan of those colors! Thanks so much for sharing this great craft for the Christmas Bash! Hope to "see" you Friday! 😉

I agree that wreaths can be quite pricey. And I do love these ball wreaths. I'd definitely like to try this project!

Your blog is so beautiful and your pictures are perfect!
Happy Holidays!

I just saw some ornaments at Walmart that I fell in love with. Now I know what I can do with them. Good thing they are open late so I can run back and get them.
I have wanted one of these wreaths for a while, and had bought the Christmas balls on sale this December. I had already bought a wire “wreath frame”, so I wrapped some batting around it and then wrapped the whole thing with the fleece strips. So far, so good. The first layer of balls glued to the fleece went fine. As I started layering the Christmas balls, I ran into problems. The balls, both glass and plastic, will not stay glued to each other. I am using a low temp glue gun and “multitemp” glue sticks. I am attempting to anchor each ball onto 3 adjacent surfaces but they break loose. What am I doing wrong?
