They turned out pretty nice, but I wish I had found this information before I started. Will know next time the best way to start. I used smaller ornaments in the spaces where the foam might have been showing through. I cannot wait to go through my old ornaments and find enough to make a keepsake wreath for future holidays. Will also be shopping after the holidays this year to pick up supplies for making some during the cold winter months coming on. Thanks for the info. I used a nice piece of rope, knotted it at the length I needed and then used floral pins at an upward angle to hold the rope. Worked very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778503565905793642.post-50550144612031680652010-12-05T16:41:31.651-05:002010-12-05T16:41:31.651-05:00Niki I spent about $10 in ornaments and the wreath...Niki I spent about $10 in ornaments and the wreath was less than $5, so total was at most $15, which was definitly less than the cost of buying one at the store! Surprisingly you really dont see much of the wreath at all, I used a white wreath, and my wall is off white, so what you do see kind of blends in...if you know where you want to place the wreath, you could always wrap the foam part in a ribbon that matches your wall color...but honestly not much shows through!<br /><br />Dotty, its so nice to have things that almost become a tradition, I'm sure your daughter remembers that wreath from when she was growing up!Jessica Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093817427610204489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778503565905793642.post-38443098163791836782010-12-05T14:02:55.859-05:002010-12-05T14:02:55.859-05:00Pretty !

It's atleast 30 years old, and I just can't make myself discard it. I did atleast put it on the BACK doot, and a newer one on the front !Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538342558750190865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778503565905793642.post-50439351699584201592010-12-05T12:48:28.201-05:002010-12-05T12:48:28.201-05:00so cute. i guess i'd worry that there would be...so cute. i guess i'd worry that there would be lots of white parts showing from the ring? did you find you saved money doing it yourself? or would you say it cost just as much?<br />i love this idea though. thanks for letting me know!~Niki~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05479427401865206504noreply@blogger.com
