I've been planning various holiday crafts for the past couple of months, but once I went back to work those plans quickly fell by the wayside. It wasn't until we were "done" decorating that I realized I had three wreaths left over. They were used on our windows last year but Josh decided if we have a bigger house, we need bigger wreaths (nevermind the fact that while the house may be larger, the windows are the same size.) Nonetheless, I couldn't let them go to waste. I hung them on various doors around the house and forgot about them for a couple weeks. Well, today I finally got the itch to craft with some help from the "Crafting Queen" herself, Megan Frohm. After a trip to Toys R Us, we hit up Michael's where I was able to stock up on extra ornaments and embellishments. Here is the before:
So some strategic placement, creative thinking and a layer of glitter dust later, the wreaths were properly "Shepherd-ized."
The best part about these wreaths? Nothing is permanently tied on. Each year we change things up so all of the decorations are strategically wrapped with wire or twine (or just securely jammed in) to make for easy break down and build up next year. Unfortunately, I told Josh what a great deal I got on the ornaments ($1.99 for five large ornaments? What a steal!) I have this funny feeling I will be sent on a mission tomorrow to procure more to add some extra oomph to the tree...
