It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas wreaths!

Well, the holidays are upon us and here I am...1 Christmas wreath down out of 3 that I am doing in this style. I will also be doing 2 candy cane wreaths for my house! So, here is Christmas wreath number 1:

I began with a wire form, 3 types of decomesh, ribbon, decorations, and floor space! I prefer the forms that have an inner and an outer ring to give the wreath that fullness I look for. Also, the ones from Ultimate Party come with tie wires already on them and help so much! I made this wreath for a co-worker and his new bride :) 

I started with the outer ring and did 3 different decomesh colors/patterns and alternated them. Then I moved to the interior ring of the form. See how full the wreath is by having a double layer! Next, I added some ribbon (this kind was stretchy and looked kind of like a woven decomesh, I loved it) and I weaved it through the wreath. Last, I added decorations. I have a bird perched on a nest in the middle and some greenery around the outer ring along with a glittery poinsettia in one spot! 

I find that alternating decorations, or having an odd number of them makes for a more random wreath and looks more unique. I enjoyed making this wreath and look forward to making more! This picture does not do this wreath justice! It looks so shiny and beautiful in person! If anyone out there is looking for a wreath like this one, I would be happy to make you an original! I will sell this type of wreath for $40 to $50 depending on decorations.

I decided to update this post with some more wreaths I have made :) So...here they are...

This first one is for my mom :) I hung it on my door to get a good picture of it! I love it...what do you think?

These 2 candy canes will go on both sides of my front door, although I am not sure how. I have a brick house! Does anyone have any suggestions other than a nail through our mortar? Thanks in advance! I will post more wreaths soon!

Ok Ladies and gentlemen...here is the latest wreath I have done. It is for a friend and so far, she loves it! :) I still have our own to make...so there will be at least one more to come!

Last but not least, here is the one for our door!!

Here they are on the front of the house. I got these really cool clips from Lowes and they are amazing! They clip right to the brick! Check it out here!

Happy Crafting!
