Pick up a plain wreath (or make one) and start decorating. It's like playing dress up. Keep trying things out, see what makes you say "wow", then wire it onto the wreath, or hot glue it, or pick it.
I was at the fabric store that shares my name today. Long, long line of disgruntled customers. One cashier, as usual. I was looking for 60% off Christmas picks for wreaths. Not much to see. And since I do best buying things in threes---not many things in threes.
But I am loving this wreath at the top of the post. I would guess the ornaments have been hot glued in place. Hard to wire them as the little hanger thing at the top can pop out. I am also thinking of "using" the curly pipe cleaner things--sort of Dr Seuss. We have real holly at work but it turns black in cold outside weather. I tried to find some fake holly but--none.
Last year I glued a bunch of toys (Barbies, Hot Wheels, Lego etc) to a wreath. It was very cute. And a co-worker made one with sock monkeys. I love sock monkeys so would NEVER glue them to an outdoor wreath. Barbie? Yes.
Since the store shopping amounted to nothing--I am going attic shopping. See what sort of stuff I have packed away. Something up there has to be "wreath worthy".
