A New Wreath

My house will have a new wreath to show off this year and I made it. The beginning of it was a round metal wreath frame. This came from a wreath Jim bought from a Boy Scout fundraiser when we lived in Jackson. It was a big beautiful pine and pinecone wreath. When the season was over, I took off the greenery and saved the frame meaning to do something with it for a long time.

I gathered up some old garlands of poinsettias and holly to wrap the frame in. I used twist ties to keep things in place. I thought the twist ties worked very well and would recommend them highly to anyone wanting to try the same idea. They of course were found on Amazon. 

The angel, I really don't remember where she came from or when I got her. She has just been in my Christmas decor boxes for years. I usually find a place on a wall to hang her, so she watches over us.

As I was putting it all together, figuring how to attach things, twisting the old garlands trying to show off the flowers to look their best I was so pleased with the outcome. Don't you just love it when the idea in your head works out the way you imagined it?

The final touch was to wrap a set of battery-operated lights around the wreath for a bit more Christmas sparkle. The lights came from Amazon too. They have 8 different lighting patterns and a 6 hour timer to save on battery life. We'll see how that goes between now and Christmas. I plan on timing the lights from about 6 pm to midnight. Jim's job today is to figure out how to hang this in our front window. That is his part of the project now that I am done with mine.

I currently have an ear worm. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". If you have it now, I'm sorry.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!
