How to Make a Christmas Ornament Wreath With a Wire Hanger

I know what you're thinking: "Oh great, another Christmas ornament wreath tutorial," BUT my tutorial comes with a twist! I made my wreath one-handed. That's right, a glue gun in one hand and a cocktail in the other. Hazardous, perhaps, but my point is if you prefer your projects to be rather quick and effortless...so much so that you can slam down a shot of tequila while working on it, then read on my

These wreaths are SO easy and inexpensive to make.
All you'll need is a wire coat hanger, a glue gun, Christmas garland swag,
and some ornaments (cocktail is optional).
I found most of my ornaments at the Dollar Store. A handful of the larger red ones were given to me by my mom a few years ago. For the ornaments, you'll want to use a variety of sizes, textures, and colors. I used around 50 ornaments to complete this project.
The collage below is a step-by-step guide of how to create your own ornament wreath.

Approximately $9.00 and 30 minutes later and I've got myself a pretty and festive holiday wreath! Now go grab your glue gun (and a bottle of wine).

Do you string each bulb onto the wire,or just the base amount, then glue the others to the ones already there?

  Gluing the caps on is practical. And gluing exactly where the balls touch each other is, also. I think I could line up the balls in a spiral design. To have the wreath end up flat makes sense to me for my storm door and kitchen wall. Thank you. ☺️

I did mine but they keep popping off and breaking into the floor. What am I doing wrong? I have less than 50 on there.

  Even with plastic ornaments, glue the caps on otherwise they will pop off too. Here’s mine. Coat hanger, plastic ornaments, and burlap for a bow.

I was making one of these last week and searched my closets for a wire hanger, in vain! I asked my 11 yr old grand daughter if she had a wire clothes hanger in her closet and she looked at me like I was crazy and said, “A what? What is a wire clothes hanger?” LoL
