a small wreath with a big discovery

I have been admiring
the Pottery Barn inspired Christmas wreaths
in blogland


Equipped with some very creative ladies out there
who include instructions on their blogs ... I just had to try it myself!

... HOWEVER ...

I have made a discovery that forced me
to stop my crafting therapy and take some pictures!
Check this out !
The mish mash of different instructions that I was using
for this wreath include twisty ties to hold the ornaments in place
(fantastic idea by the way).
but...once I got started twisting and twisting and twisting
I thought to myself
"there has to be an easier way"
{and I was only making a smaller wreath}

... this is what I came up with ...

carefully take the knobby thing off the top

then separate the top

place squigly thing around the wreaths wire
and some of the greenery if need be

reattach the top

I used a little hot glue at this point

Voila!

I may still put a ribbon on it...and more color
