Our Experience With This Ornament Wreath Craft

We’ve been decorating for Christmas and I realized our door looked bare and bland. So we went looking for a wreath. Turns out wreaths are rather expensive. So we made one!

It wasn’t expensive at all. We had most of the items at home, but what we couldn’t find we got at the Dollar Tree.

My kids helped lace the ornaments and made a wreath for each of their bedroom doors. So everyone was festive! I hope your family enjoys making a Christmas wreath as much as mine did.
