Welcome Friends!
I'm sharing with you a wreath that was inspired by
the beautiful wreath by:
Better Homes and Garden---Christmas From The Heart Book Volume 12
(I'm re-posting this wreath from Nov. 2011)
This wreath may look familiar.
(Last year, I showed you this wreath in early November).
I've received many emails asking for a tutorial or information on how to make this wreath.
I've had this wreath on my Projects To Do List since last year.
I'm happy to say--mission accomplished.
My wreath doesn't look exactly like the one shown.
I changed mine a little bit.
I attempted this project last weekend.
It was fun to make and the weather was warm and beautiful.
I made it outside in my driveway, with the echo of birds singing in the trees.
It was with complete JOY to Create!
Let's get started:
I will show you how simple this wreath is to make.
I was lucky to find some of the materials at The Dollar Store.
The total cost of this wreath was around $16.00, but that does not include the wreath.
(I had the wreath on hand. )
Materials:
Bird Nest: JoAnns
Birds: Dollar Tree
Transparent off white ribbon: Dollar Tree
Large Grapevine Wreath-optional spray paint off white
Ornaments approx 17-25: Dollar Tree
Picks and baby breathe: JoAnns (50% off)
glue gun and scissors
Step One:
Break off baby breath and place in grapevine wreath as shown.
Glue with glue fun into place
Step Two:
Place baby winter white garland bead into grapevine securing into place with glue gun or tucking the picks deep inside the grapevine.
Step Three:
Make bow with transparent ribbon, secure into place with glue gun
attach birds and birds nest below the ribbon ribbon bow on the right side.
Step Four:
place and glue approximately 16-17 small to medium sized ornaments around wreath.
Step Five:
Display your wreath and ENJOY!
Display your wreath and ENJOY!
I like this wreath because It is one that can be
displayed through the winter months, long in to 2013!
Seasons Greetings to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm truly grateful for Family and Friends.

What a beautiful wreath! If you are interested, I have a Christmas wreath link party going on my Danice's Holiday Blog :)
Love the light and airy look of the wreaths, makes a magical impression, would look lovely on a Christmas Hampers
Love the diaphanous look of the light and airy wreaths, not too heavy with decorations - looks lovely. Christmas Hampers
That's a beautiful wreath! Very cool.

Thank you for posting such great directions. I made one of these wreaths for my mom for Christmas and gave it to her early to hang up. I have been making wreaths since I was in high school but this one turned out by far the best. Thank you, my mom loved it and my husband is jealous and wants me to make another one just for us.
Hey You are an expert in Christmas wreath. The best I have seen in the net.
May the blessings of our lord,
Fall upon you for celebrating,
The birthday of his Son and
For helping others to make Christmas wreath
My Heart felt Christmas Wishes for you
