Christmas Wreath

My last post before Christmas is a super simple wreath. All you need is a premade wreath, I chose a silver tinsel one, some coordinating ornaments, and those cheap wire ornament hooks.

Once you figure out where you would like to place an ornament, pull the wire through and around the frame of the wreath.  A couple twists should secure it.To evenly spread out the colors, I started with the blues, then greens, then silvers as those blended into the wreath the most.

I love how it glistens in the sun and reflects our colorful Christmas lights.

 Merry Christmas everyone!

Felt Christmas Tree Garland

Last year, I felt like our Christmas tree was missing something. It was filled with lights and ornaments but still did not feel full. It needed a garland and instead of making the tradition paper chains, I decided to make one out of felt so that we could reuse it year after year.

I cut colorful 1 inch by 6 inch strips…

 and glued the ends together with hot glue in rainbow order.

I made three separate strands so that it would be easier to work around the tree. (Actually I only string it 3/4 around the front. Shhh!) Between holidays, I use an embroidery hoop to store it and keep it from getting tangled.

Now, our tree now feels complete!
