So I have a confession…my front door was naked last Christmas. Yep. No wreath. I made new stockings for us and new ornaments and tons of homemade gifts for my kids, and I sort of skipped that part.
Honestly, I didn’t even miss it much!
Supplies for your 10-minute ornament wreath:
- Different flat decorative snowflakes. I got multiple kinds- a plain and a glittery. That way I could layer them
- Foamboard
- Hot glue (I LOVE my glue gun if you don’t have one!)
- Ribbon
Steps to making your 10-minute “Wreath”
STEP 2:
Layer your snowflake ornaments and hot glue them on. I did the solid white foam snowflakes first. Then added all of my glitter foam snowflakes. Lastly, added the plastic glitter ones.
STEP 3:
Find white ribbon laying around (if you’re a craft hoarder like me) or grab some cheap stuff here and tie a bow on. Then BAM- ready to hang and call it a day. 😉
Super easy!
I didn’t mean to make it look like an ornament, but once I got it on the door, I realized that’s what it looks like. It’s cute! And you can’t beat a 10-minute project that only uses cheap supplies!
I'm liking this a lot. I think I'll try to make a smaller one as an ornament! Thanks for showing how. Best Christmas Season. Linda

Thanks! They'd have to be pretty big ornaments, but I think it would be darling on a tree. Love to see if you try it. 🙂

So cute! I'd love for you to share this or any of your great ideas at the link party going on now (and every Saturday – Tuesday) at 'Or so she says …' Hope to see you there! http://www.oneshetwoshe.com
Your snowflakes are so pretty & elegant. I might actually be able to make one. I saw them on I heart nap time. Would love for you to share these on Thursdays Treasures. http://fooddonelight.com/thursdays-treasures-week-63/
So pretty and SO easy! Thank you for the lovely, yet frugal idea.

I am a big fan of snow. Love the wreath because you can leave it up all winter. Does the sun heat up the glue to cause it to come unglued?
I haven't had a problem with it, but mine also isn't in direct sunlight. I can't imagine it would be a problem, though! That being said, I use a LOT of glue. lol
Aloha,
Charlie
Very Very cute!
What a beautiful wreath! I love that you got the supplies at the dollar store!
Hey! I bought those EXACT same snowflakes except my foam ones were blue! Some with glitter and some without. I made a wreath out of mine too! Except mine is like an actual wreath – with a hollowed out center. Great minds think alike. =]
Have I missed a Dollar Tree on the island or did you do some shopping back on the mainland?
Aloha, Jen! I actually moved to the East Coast last summer. 🙁 I missed the Dollar Tree too much and had to move off the island. 😉 Just kidding. We're a military family. haha
