Notes

Tips and Tricks for Making An Ornament Wreath:
String ornaments on the coat hanger randomly.
Use more ornaments, hot glued, to fill in areas that need a bit more bulk. 
Avoid hot gluing ornaments that are glittery as they do not stick as well. You can string glittery ornaments on the coat hanger just fine.
Use a variety or ornaments in a variety of sizes. Example: String 2 large ornaments and one medium to add a mixture. Hot glue small ones to fill in the gaps.
