Christmas Wreaths!

So I was inspired by a friend to make a bulb wreath to hang on my door - I then decided my mom would probably like one to hang on her door too. I started by buying one Styrofoam wreath form from Michaels ($11.99) and once I got home I used a sharp knife to cut it into two wreath forms :)

One thing I did not do first that I wished I did was wrap the form in felt or fabric of the colors you plan on using. 

I chose green and red for my mom and red and gold for myself. First I started by gluing the bulbs in the middle of the wreath and then filled in from there. I was very happy with the end result but I do wish I had wrapped the Styrofoam in felt first so I couldn't see any white throughout the wreath.  

I had left over bulbs (I purchased too many at the dollar store) so I decided to try a wire hanger wreath. I first took all the tops off the bulbs and hot glued them back on so they will not come off later. I then bend a wire hanger into a circle and opened it up. I thread on the bulbs in a random order and laid it flat on the table as I did this. Then I started hot gluing and holding bulbs in place. It turned out great for a quick, on the fly craft!
