Christmas Ornament Wreath 2 Ways! {a cautionary tale...}

Christmas Ornament Wreath 2 Ways! {a cautionary tale...}
I have always wanted to make a Christmas Bauble Wreath and now I have satisfied that desire:) I think these wreaths turned out pretty cute but I have to say I had some struggles. Hopefully my tips and tricks will help your Christmas ornament wreath project go more smoothly than mine did!

I have 4 bow making tools available handmade in Maine for $26 USA probity shipping included. First come first served, email me at artstudiosofbangor@yahoo.com if you would like to order one.

First let me say that I recommend the Styrofoam wreath form and hot glue method if you only need a single sided wreath and you want to pick the way your baubles are arranged. I am not remotely "Type A" but I really liked being able to decide the layout of the ornaments. I think for anyone who is particualr about that sort of thing would like this method.

Here is what I used for the Styrofoam wreath, cost $13:
10" Styrofoam wreath form (Dollar Tree)
1 large drum of blue/silver large balls (Nicole-AC Moore)
2 sleeves of small and medium balls in red and silver (Dollar Tree)
Hot glue (lots)
Satin Ribbon for bow (optional)

*Also cheap ornaments are fine for the glue on method because you are not relying on the hangers to attach them.

For the wire form method:
1 large drum or ornaments (if using the cheapies from AC Moore you will want to glue the hangers on the balls because they will fall off and frustrate you to no end)
*You can also add smaller ornaments, you can either alternate them when you slide on the big ornaments or hot glue them on later (which I did to add stability to the wreath)
heavy duty wire, a wire wreath form or a coat hanger bent into a circle
Ribbon

*The advantage of the silde on wire form method is that you get a double sided wreath and theoretically it is quicker unless you have to chase all the ornaments that fell off the hangers and re glue them on. Just save yourself the trouble and glue them on first.
