Greetings Friends! By now you know my affection for Vintage ornaments. I shop thrift stores and yard sales for them all year to get my fix! As promised, today I am sharing how to make your own Vintage ornament wreath....
I chose Vintage ornaments for the two wreaths I made, but you could use any type you like. I spent some time gathering mine and then used dollar store foam wreaths. The white tinsel is from Walmart. My local Wmart is not my favorite store but I loved the retro look of this sparkly white, so sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
I wrapped the wreath with tinsel and secured it with hot glue, until it looked nice and full.
I took my time placing ornaments and arranging them. Last, I hot glued them with high temp glue sticks. Since I had "just the spot" waiting for my white wreath, I got a little carried away and forgot to get a photo before hanging it but here's the silver one...
...and here it is hanging on the Vintage shutter over the hall entryway.
Another glimpse of the white over the mantel...
I'm so glad you stopped by today and remember, there's still time to link up to Creating Christmas--the party is open until December 19!

ReplyDeleteThose wreaths are so pretty! I just made one kinda similar, but kinda different at the same time. I still need to get that posted. So many projects... so little time to post them. lol.

hi Cecilia ... love your wreaths, especially the silver one that looks so pretty with the garland on your shutter. It looks really vintage. The white one is very nice on your beautiful mirror too. Very creative.
