Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash Day 3 well day 2 for me.

Today's feature is Christmas Crafts.

If you stopped by yesterday you saw these items in my Christmas decor post.

But today I will show you how I made them.

  

First up is this little beauty. I made it in just a few minutes and I think it turned out great.

Here's all you need,

One floral cone, I got mine at Walmart for $1.97.

3 containers of small shatterproof ornaments. I got mine at the Dollar General for a $1.00 a box. About 8 feet of garland, and 9 feet of wired ribbon.

You will also want to have your glue gun out and ready.

 

 

I took the hanger part off the ornaments exposing just the opening. I put od dot of hot glue on it and then pushed it into the floral cone. The ornament opening alone will hold the ornament in place but I like the added protection of the glue holding everything together. I start at the top and work my way to the bottom spacing them out a bit as I go.

 

After I go all the way to the bottom with the ornaments I add the garland. Starting at the top I wind the garland around the tree and weaving in and out around the ornaments. I add a drop of hot glue here and there to hold the garland in place.

Lastly I make a coordinating bow to put on the top using wired ribbon. Since I am not a very good bow maker I left that part out since I didn't want to show you how to make a less than stellar bow. 

 

I made this wreath in much the same way.

 I bought the base wreath at Target in the little $1 and $2 dollar bins they have up front. I got the wreath for $2.00 and the shatterproof ornaments from the same bins for $1.00 a set. I used 9 feet of wired ribbon to make the bow.

This project was super easy. I sprung out the branches on the wreath and then hot glued the ornaments around in a pattern that I liked. I left the hanger end on the ornaments this time.

Then I made the bow and using wire wired it to the frame of the wreath and that's it. Super easy. :o)
