Dollar Tree for Me!

I love making things. And having money to make things is even better. And having a house to put the things that I make is the best! If I don't have a list going of craft projects, then I'm always on the lookout for what I'll make next.

So. You probably know that I am about to show you something that I made. Yep! I saw this first on this blog and loved it! I saw these wreaths last year at a very hefty price of over $100, baby. Mine, it cost me a whole eight dollars. Eight.




And this week, I'm teaching a Relief Society craft night with these bling-bling wreaths. In fact, I bought out the whole Dollar Tree!

Love it! Do you?

Want to make it? Here's how:
Hurry over to Dollar Tree!
--5 tubes of medium-sized ornaments (12 in a tube) in 4 colors
--2 tubes of small ornaments (15 in a tube)
--1 wire coat hanger
--hot glue
--ribbon

Unwind the coat hanger and bend it into a circle. Take the tops off of all the ornaments and hot glue the tops back on. Now, just string the ornaments onto the coat hanger. I used a pattern of 2 big, 1 small and alternated through my 4 colors. Keep going until you get all the way around and have them packed on there as tight as you can! Bend the hanger back and tie your ribbon!

I think I could actually do this! Thanks for the great tips! By the way, I read your blog all of the time even though I don't comment. I'm just not usually a commenting kind of a girl.

I bought the supplies yesterday and finished it up today. It is beautiful! Now I am headed back in time to remember all the ornaments you made last year that I wanted to try...
