Wreathapalooza

The days before Thanksgiving to the early days of Advent 2013 were Wreathapalooza around here.  Between my sister, our cousins, my kids and me, there were eleven wreaths made.  I don't have pictures of all of them, and I don't have step-by-step pictures for any of them, but here are a few pictures with a bit of info about them.


This is one we made for our new baby cousin.  It is a styrofoam wreath form with dark pink, light pink and white tulle tied on it.  The gems had sticky backs as did the foam "Baby Girl" stickers.

We didn't know her name yet, so we left a blank space for it to be added.  Our aunt (her grandmother) added her name in sparkly stickers.

Our cousin hung this wreath on her hospital door, and it was adorable.  The nurses thought it was really cute.  I need to give my sister about 90% of the credit here.  I did cut a bunch of tulle.

This is my ornament wreath.  It is made with shatter proof ornaments strung on a wire coat hanger.  Add a tulle bow, and you are all set.

All of my kids made ornament wreaths for their doors.  This is my son's in progress.  We didn't have enough ornaments, so we filled in with tulle.

Here is the finished product.

These were all very easy to make and didn't cost much either  - $11 or $12 for the shatter-proof ornaments and tulle that we had around the house.  We did have to scrounge for wire hangers, but my mother had some for us.  Thanks, Mom!
