100 days to Christmas | HOW-TO make a wreath

Inside - a step by step guide to creating a bauble wreath for your door.

On my project list back in September was a big basket of ornaments. I knew when we were packing everything away last year that I was going to have a go at making my own wreath this year, so the ornaments have sat in a basket in the craft room, waiting for me to get into action.

I started by laying my foam piece out on butcher's paper. {here's a handy tip - try the local storage place for butchers paper, I get mine from Storage King for about $15}

I gave up trying to pry the gold caps off, so just tried to tuck them out of sight {don't look too closely}

And now I have a big glue gun that works properly, the job is made ten times easier.

Building up layers is the best way to create a full wreath. Try to fill gaps, by looking overhead and placing things before gluing.

I actually hated the finished wreath. To my overly critical eye, I'd failed.

But once it was hung on the door I knew it was perfect for us!

Have you started making decorations yet?
