I have been seeing these wreath designs throughout blogland and they started with Eddie Ross Today, with the help of college daughter, Erin, we went shopping for round ornaments and ribbon. I wanted to hang my wreath on the two mirrors above my bed. The colors in my bedroom are blues, browns and creams. So I went with a blue and silver theme of ornaments. Here is one of the finished ones, I have to buy more ornaments for the second one.
From the side:
Erin made one for her apartment, using these blue, silvers and added small hot pink ornaments with polka dots. She just left and took this wreath with her, I will have to get a picture later, it is darling.
We also, made one for a friend for a Christmas present, in reds, greens and golds. Another winner and this is so simple.
The ornaments were purchase at Wal-Mart and they are shatterproof. Similar to this product but the ones we bought had an assortment of colors and sizes.
We did some more crafting together but I need sunshine to photograph this next project. It sure was fun, crafting and creating with her.

Oh this is beautiful, Lori! Thanks for the link as I'd love to make some as presents, and even one for our house too.
ReplyDeleteI love that! The blue and silver colour combination is so beautiful and very elegant.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Love the combination of colors.
ReplyDeleteLove how yours came out- I really like how full it is!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you used. I plan on making one for my front door in red/green/gold. (Front door is dark green.)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Awesome colors!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great ides. I need a new wreath for my front door. It used to be painted white so I used the traditional green and red. It looked so pretty. Then I painted it a burnt orange color which looks much better with our house but not with green and red. I'm having trouble getting anything to show up very well. I think white and gold would be really pretty in a wreath like this on my door. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo funny you posted that wreath (which is gorgeous BTW) because my MIL, SIL, & I are going to make them after Thanksgiving dinner as our craft. I had emailed them the link to the Eddie Ross site a few weeks ago and they both loved it. They both have their ornaments already, but I still need to buy some so I'll have to trek out to Wally World and see what they have. Do you remember how much they were? Also, how many did you end up using. The tutorial said about 80 so I was wondering if that is what you used too. So beautiful, I love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteI just love how the light hits them! The wreath must look decadent in your room! Colour choices are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to SNS #6!

ReplyDeleteThanks Lori, what a great idea for a friend that invited us for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so pretty. What a good idea hanging it on your mirror.

gorgeous wreath!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - I love the colors you picked too
ReplyDeleteDarling! I LOVE it. I've had this project on my to-do list for weeks. I need to get on it!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make one of these. Now I would like to know how many of the women who like these and will make them have husbands who like them or who just say nah. That's my husband's response but I'm making them anyway. Who can I give 2 or 3 of them to?
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! Your daughters sounds like a real fun one, too. Hope you can get a picture of it to post soon. I'd love to see it. :)
