Well...I decided to try the bell wreath. I trotted myself down to the dollar store and loaded up on some wreath items....
I got some floral wire, a roll of gold ribbon, and 4 boxes of bells. My friend Judi ( Hi Judi!) also gave me some silver bells she had leftover from a project. I used the items to make two wreaths. So...that averages out ot 3 bucks per bell wreath.I made a circle out of the floral wire and started loading the bells on the wire. I put one big bell and then five small bells and repeated this until I was done. Then I had a solid circle of bells.
Next I tied a big gold bow and attached it to the wreath.
At first, I hung the wreaths from the door knobs like "Martha." But, upon further thinking I decided that my kiddos would be too tempted to yank them off...over and over again. So, I attached them to the tops of the doors...
I really like the way they turned out. The gold and silver go well with our Christmas decor theme this year. Thanks for stopping by the mansion to take a peek. I will be posting more wreaths and holiday decor in the days ahead. Have a great week.

Great idea. I love that so much crafty stuff is at the Dollar Tree. Just wish fist fights wouldn't break out at the one closest to me! I gotta go across town (4 miles). LOL Thanks for sharing and I like them hung from the top of the door better than near the handle
ReplyDeleteVery cute wreath...I like how you used both silver and gold - Isn't the Dollar Store a fun place?
