Step by Step

Step 1:
What you will need:
  • 1 25cm-diameter metal hoop
  • 1 17cm-diamete metal hoop
  • medium-large Christmas ornaments : 4 light blue matt, 4 white matt, 4 dark blue matt
  • medium Christmas ornaments: 6 silver shiney & 6 white matt
  • medium-small Christmas ornaments: 9 white matt, 3 light blue shiney, 3 light cobalt blue shiney, 3 cobalt blue shiney, 3 dark blue shiney
  • small Christmas ornaments on string/wire: 9 white matt, 9 light blue shiney, 9 light cobalt blue shiney, 9 cobalt blue shiney, 9 dark blue shiney
  • Floral wire
  • Floral tape
  • scissors
  • Hot Glue gun & Hot glue sticks

Step 2:
Place the 2 hoops* on the floor and center the smaller one. Tape together at one end (or multiple sides) to keep the hoops equidistant from one another. Take the garden wire and tie one end to the inner hoop. Wrap both hoops together until you have made it twice around the hoops.

Step 3:
Repeat Step 2 with the Floral tape, but only wrap around once.

Step 4:Glue clusters of Christmas Ornaments together with hot glue, and then glue them to the Floral tape on the hoops. Use the smallest ornaments to fill in any holes you may have.

Step 5:
Tie some of the floral wire around the top of the hoops, making sure it holds very well. Then, hang it up!

*The hoops depicted in all the pictures, but the last one are much larger than the given diameters. I accidentaly bought ones that were much too large and had to take the wreath apart (which I DO NOT recomend doing) and glue them onto the smaller hoops, whoes diameters I listed.

If you have any other questions on how to make this wreath, please feel free to email me.
