DIY Ornament Wreath

Red and Gold DIY wreath

So this year I decided to make my own Christmas wreath. Last year I spent about $20 dollars at Wal-Mart for one that wasn't even that pretty anyways. I know this type of wreath has been made many times and is all around Pinterest, (thats where I got my inspiration). I kind of thought it would be easy to make and it really was!

All I bought were the ornaments from The Dollar Tree, about $6 dollars, and the bow from target about $4 dollars. So all in all I spent $10 dollars for a really nice ornament. I've gotten so many compliments on it. So all I used was a wire hanger, some hot glue, a bow, and my ornaments to make the wreath. Super Easy!

OH Christmas Tree, OH Christmas Tree

This year we found our perfect tree at our local Home Depot. It was about 8 feet tall and smelled amazing. This tree will fulfill its Christmas Destiny. (FRIENDS reference) I love FRIENDS. 

I LOVE our new camera. We took this picture with all the lights off. Only the christmas tree lights were on and it gave off this cool effect. I learned how to do it from a pinner on Pinterest. Change the settings on your camera to (f) aperture 3.0 or lower. Shutter speed 1/30 and ISO: 1600. It was easy getting her to pose in front of the tree. This is her first Christmas and we are capturing every experience possible on film.  

She could play with these lights FOREVER. We didn't mind. We just clicked away. Beautiful.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
