Christmas Ornament Wreath

I've been wanting to make a Christmas ornament wreath for a few years now and finally sat down and made one. I bought a bunch of ornaments on clearance last year after Christmas, but I still had to buy some more this year as it took alot more than I thought. Plus you need a wide variety of sizes. And I wanted all glass because I can't stand the seams on plastic ones but, well, as you can see below I had to mix in some plastic. ;) Seems you can find a wider variety of styles and sizes in them these days than you can glass. I started with a white styrofoam wreath and just started hot-gluing ornaments on all over. I even made a few yarn balls to mix in (just wrap some yarn around a styrofoam ball until it's covered). Now I will say I wish I had painted or covered my wreath first with red. I can see tiny patches of white peeking through the balls on my wreath and it's driving this anal-retentive perfectionist nuts. ;) LOL

All that said, here is my wreath. I really do love it even if my post so far sounds cranky. LOL

On a side note, I cannot wait until we replace our front door. I want a black wooden one with windows so bad. The one we have now they painted an ugly shade of brown when we bought our house and it's metal and has dings all over. Drives me crazy! My wreath would look so much prettier, too. ;)

Anyways, thanks for looking!
