This wreath was something on my crafty to do list since last Christmas. I put aside a package of red plastic ornaments from Walmart and a flexible garland with a 12 inch wreath form. As I was preparing for this hop, I took a trip to Hobby Lobby to see what they had on sale that could accent my wreath. They had the Merry Christmas signs and extra garland. Then it was off to the races!


I used a glue gun on the low setting to attach the garland to the wreath. Then I applied the ornaments in the center. I glued them to the wreath and to each other. Then I did the same around the outer edge and filled in with  medium sized and small ornaments. Finally I added the bow and the Merry Christmas. The last step was to fill in all the holes with garland cut into 2 inch pieces and to glue down a long piece across the back of the wreath so that none of the wreath form shows.

I love how it turned out but I will NOT be making another one any time soon! LOL. Thanks for hopping by!

  23. How Mr Benjamin Lee service  grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { Lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
