Yay...My wreaths are done!

Okay, I spent friday finishing up the projects that were left unfinished...among those are the ornament wreaths. I did finally finish, my nightmare wreath, which I thinks looks nice, but I also took the advice of my niece Lora, and made one out of a hanger. It looks really cute and was tons easier, it did take alot of ornaments...but what does it really matter?? I had already spent $70 just finishing up the first one. Below are the pictures.

My glass ornament nightmare!!!

Okay, you've all seen them, and they are way expensive...I'm talking about the glass ornament wreaths. They run $50.00 and up.I saw this one, and decided I could make one for half the price.(picture below)

So today I bought a styrofoam wreath, ribbon, and some different sized ornaments, I wanted to make a red one. I came home and started glueing on the balls after filling about 1/4 of the wreath, I could see that I was going to need more glass balls. I came home with the extra ornaments I had purchased, and guess what??? yep, not near enough. (pictures below)By the way....I have now spent over $45.00. and I am not even finished. Next time I will spend the 50 bucks!!
