I absolutley love ornament wreaths and was sad when the one I had on our front door the past 2 years fell apart. I used glass ornaments and they just did not hold up well to the cold and windy winters in Ohio. But it was a beautiful wreath! So I kept an eye out after Christmas last year and bought a HUGE tub at Target of 100 plastic ornaments for around $10.
Using the technique from the last wreath, I strung up coat hangers (2 of them tied together since this door is quite large and needed a larger wreath) and used some of the leftover ones to decorate the garland.
I love how it turned out. It looks so welcoming and bright!

November 28, 2012 at 6:52 amHey Mel,
They aren’t too hard to work with in this project since the shape doesn’t have to be completely perfect. Just rounded. A good pair of wire cutters is handy too. I didn’t have a good pair so it was a lot of bending back and forth before the wire would snap. There is a link to a full tutorial on my post from the last wreath I made.
