Upcycled Christmas Wreath

I started by removing all of the old ornaments from the original wreath. This is showing it halfway done. I wanted add this picture because if you look closely you can see that the tips of the pine on the wreath have glitter on them. I love that look and so even though I could've gotten a wreath that was new for not much cost, I wanted to use this one. They sell these at Walmart and they still have them this year.

The next thing I did was shape the wreath how I wanted. I pushed all the branches down flat so that I could add a lot of ornaments. I didn't want the branches to poke through, however I did want some to show out the sides.

Then using a hot glue gun I added a generous dot of glue to the top hanging end of the ornament. Because it is being glued to pine branches it needs to be held down until dry.

I didn't want it to look completely symmetrical but I did want an even spread of color, so I started with the same color spreading them out evenly and hot gluing. I added different textures for a vibrant look.

I then began adding other color and sizes. I wanted it to be as colorful as possible so I added a rainbow of colors. You could use whatever colors you want. I recommend different sizes and textures to make a more appealing wreath.

You can see from these pictures that I added all different colors, shapes, and textures. I feel like this really made the wreath stand out.

This is the finished product! One thing I should add is that when all the ornaments were adhered, I went through and added hot glue to the sides of some of the ornaments that were really close together so that the ornaments were not only glued to the wreath, but each other as well.

Here is a picture of the finished product on our front door.
