Valentine's Day Wreaths

It's only January but I know that if I want to make a wreath for Valentine's Day 
I had better get on the ball and decide what I'm going to do or it will never get
 finished on time! At least, that's how it is in my house, with two little girls running 
circles around me!  We do our best! 

Check out this collection of pretty wreaths for Valentine's Day and maybe
 you'll be inspired to create your own wreath too!

Upcycled Christmas Wreaths That You Can Make

The holiday season is quickly approaching and many of us are busy decorating our 
homes for Christmas. This year, why not create your own unique holiday wreath
 from things that you already have around your home? 

To get started, all you need is a wreath base (inexpensive wreath bases can be 
purchased at most dollar stores), a glue gun, and a little creative thinking.

Check out these extraordinary upcycled wreaths created from ordinary household 
objects and maybe you'll be inspired to try your hand at creating one for yourself!

Vintage Christmas Ornament Wreaths

Christmas ornament wreaths are the perfect way to use those old, chipped 
ornaments and turn them into something new and beautiful!

Here's how to do it:
First, attach a wire to your wreath base.  This will serve as the wreath's hanger.
You can use any type of wreath base. Straw works well. (The first
wreath shown in the photos below was built upon an existing old wreath)
Next, use a low temp glue gun to attach ornaments to the wreath base. 
Attach the largest ornaments first, then use the smallest ornaments to fill in the gaps. 
That's it! Check out the collection of wreaths below for inspiration!
