Christmas Wreath

So I'm sure that you guys have all seen those wreaths with the ornaments and the wire hanger?  Yeah so I saw them a few years ago and thought they were so cool.  I got the stuff to do them and it was the ultimate disaster, they all popped off and I glued them back on and they still fell off.  So then the next year I bought green wreath and glued some ornaments on it and some pine-cones.   It was okay but I wasn't excited about it.  The last couple of years I have really fallen in love the white/red/silver look in Christmas decor.  I found rolls of tulle for less then $4 at Walmart and the bells for less then $4 and the green foam wreath was less then $4 as well.  I came home and this is what I ended up with and I LOVE IT!!!!!  Let me warn you I wasn't thinking through completely and sparkly tulle is made sparkly by glitter!!  My dining room floor now looks like Christmas.   I just cut out many lengths of each roll and just tied it on all the way around, after I went through and hot glued it to the wreath so it couldn't untie itself.  I only used about have of each roll, so now I can use the leftovers on another project. 

Wreaths Part 2

Yesterday I shared some wreaths with you and here are some more! I'm still amazed at the creativeness that they have.

Look at the size of those oyster shells! 

This house was so cool using horse tack with their wreath decor.

This one I loved the doors and the apples in all the little holes in the brick.

I would have never thought I using eggs and giant cinnamon sticks!

This was one of my favorites with the lemons, oranges and apples.  

These wreaths inspired me to try next year to make my own from products like these.  I hope that you enjoyed looking at them as well.

Wreaths

First of all I hope that everyone had a great Christmas.  I know that we did, it was our first time having Christmas away from family and we were able to create some new traditions.  I have been missing the last week and a half because one I had a couple of things to post but forgot to post them (they are coming later in the week) and second we spent the week before Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg.  We couldn't have asked for a better time and weather.  It was in the 60's the whole time we were there and sunny.  Colonial Williamsburg does some pretty cool decorating for the Christmas season and I couldn't help falling in love with some of them and want to share them with you.

The Governor's Palace was striking, many of the houses had simple wreaths on every window like here.  The wreaths are all created with things that they would have had during that time period.

I'm not sure how they created the C but it was cool looking.

This wreath was on the courthouse.

Apples were another thing that was used a lot.

I wish I could think of making something like this.

I have more to share with you tomorrow.
