If you have extra ornaments, use them on the wreath halves. If not, shatter-proof ornaments (non-glass) can be found in the dollar section of Target, at the 99-Cent Store, Dollar Tree, etc. Glitter-covered styrofoam balls are a smart choice because they are attractive, lightweight and durable. Other possibilities include bows, bells, trinkets or whatever tickles your fancy.
For the most striking wreath, stick to a simple color scheme: two colors work well. I chose silver and chartreuse because they reflect the colors of plants in my garden and look great against the dark-plum-colored door.
Here's a breakdown of costs:
- Wreath: $4
- Ornaments (from Target and Dollar Tree, $1 per box/package: $5
- Wire ribbon (Dollar Tree): $1
I already had the fine-gauge wire in my supply kit, but it can be found at crafts or hardware stores for about $2. It's always a good supply too have on hand, as are the other tools, like wire cutters, screw eyes and
pliers.
