I'm really excited to share this with you guys , which will be the DIY of how to make some really cute christmas wreaths! Whether you want to make one for yourself or for someone else, it's really up to you! :) And that is what is so neat about it, you get to choose anything you want for it. So as you can see here this photo shows 3 shopping bags from Michael's.... i don't play around people ;) but there is some great news!! all of these goodies, cost only $40 in total, Michaels is having a great sale going on, so if you would like to do this, i suggest you get some supplies soon.
This is what a 24 inch wreath looks like, it is about 7.99 which isn't bad considering you're able to do anything you want with it.. and you don't have to get the same size or the same color! Feel free to get a white wreath or just a 12 inch one. It doesn't matter at all.
Keep in mind that when you work on this wreath... it will get messy! so make sure to get some newspapers or some old tshirts you don't mind getting dirty and lay it down on a flat surface for you to be able to work on... i just chose my kitchen counter cause why not?! :D.. so in the picture there i have two tshirts layed across, one is for the wreath and the other one is for the supplies, which are mostly alllllll glittery and it gets really messy.. so the main things you need in this process is a hot glue gun and some scissors. :) I already had ribbon at my house, but you don't have to do this step.. i only do this because i always do this. I wrap it around the wreath so it will hold down some of the bigger pieces.
Here is a picture showing the decorations i got for the first wreath i am working on.. this is why i put the tshirt across because as you can tell some of the decorations have glitter all over them... so it can be a real pain in the butt to have to clean that up if you don't have something under it. :) For the first wreath i wanted to do a red and gold look, but don't feel pressured to do these colors, have fun experimenting and trying out what you ultimately want, there are no rules here!
the next step is to maybe map out what you ultimately want on your wreath. So i got some fake flowers to put on this wreath and i was just locating them to where i want them.. and then you just go on from there with all of the other items, be careful not to hurt yourself with the wreath because at times it is prickly and make sure not to burn yourself when gluing down the items as well, don't rush it, just do little by little until you see a result that you like. :)
Here is the finished product of the first wreath, which was the red and gold themed. I really loved making it, and i tried to stick to the theme i wanted for this one, so the decorations i got for it were mostly red and gold, but remember there are endless options in Michaels, so choose anything your heart desires! :) if you want a cool colorful looking wreath then do it! If you want a traditional wreath, then that is just as fine as well.
I told you guys i would be making two wreaths, and so i did! there is the finished product of that one, and this one was just themed as white and red :) very classy, i loved making these, so don't be afraid to try it out, something that is homemade seems so much livelier in person, so if you want to make this for someone , i definitely encourage it! it makes a nice and sweet gift, the person that will receive it will appreciate the time and effort spent on it.. have fun guys! i hope i could help in any way of what to do... i would have gone more into detail, but i truly want this experience to be your own, you can always reflect and look back to mine but i would love to know that it is your own creation, not mine :) See ya guys another time and remember... take care!! :D
