Mini Wreath Challenge: G’s Ornaments (and Year of the Tree)

Ok - so Heather and I finally got to see each other during a recent trip and BOY did we have fun!!!  Among the many things we chatted about, we decided to do a mini wreath challenge in December.  Here's the big reveal for my wreaths.  Now - I wanted this to do double duty for my Year of the Tree event (which has desperately fallen behind - but I shall continue throughout 2012!) so the ornaments had to coordinate.  I definitely went more "Martha" than Heather did with her mini wreaths (stay tuned tomorrow for her GORGEOUS array of creative awesomeness), keeping mine all in the same make and color scheme.  





I started with mini wreath forms - I got them here.  Then I just wrapped shades of green, thick and nubby yarn around until it was covered.  I hot glued it to keep the yarn in place.  





Next, I dug out some tiny red glass ornaments that I bought on sale a few years ago when Smith & Hawken had a Christmas clearance event.  I used wired cutters to clip off the hook part and then simply stuck the sharp wire end into the styrofoam and secured the "berry" with a little hot glue.  You could use any red beads you pick up from the store - they're everywhere!




Voila!  DONE!  It is a simple look, but I think they turned out great and I love how they look on my hobby room tree!










MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!  I HOPE 2012 BRINGS YOU GREAT JOY AND HAPPINESS!
