Happy 4th day of Blogmas!!!

Happy 4th day of Blogmas!!!!! The next couple of blogs are going to be Christmas DIYs woohoo!!!!
So today I made a Christmas wreath using the base from the fall wreath I made HERE!
So here we have the wreath, the M from the fall wreath, plastic Christmas balls, some pretty wired ribbon, battery operated LED lights, and my handy hot glue gun! The balls and ribbon are from walmart but I cant find them online to link them.
 Here's the two ribbons I used
  Here are the ornaments, they're the Holiday Time Mini Shatterproof Ornaments
 First thing I did was connect the battery pack for the lights to the back of the wreath, I tried to find the flattest spot to put it.
 Then I made a bow (like I did in the fall wreath tutorial) but this time I layered the smaller ribbon on the larger one.
 I hot glued some ornament hooks to the back of the M so it would just hook on to the wreath.
 I straitened out ornament hooks so I could shove them through the wreath instead of hang them. You can hang them if you don't want to shove them through.
 Here's all the little ornaments! Last year I used regular glass ornaments which was a mistake! Every time the wind blew or someone shut the door too hard we lost an ornament. So I pretty much out these on like I put the fall decorations on. Just poked them through the back!
 Then I twisty tied on the bow and hooked on the M and TahDah!
 Here it is at night!
So here you go!  This lovely took me probably 20 minutes not bad at all! Tomorrows blog will be a DIY hanging light decoration!!! Now I'm off to make some dinner!!!
