Santa Wreath

I am very excited with how my Santa wreath turned out, especially since I got almost all of the supplies from the dollar store.  The only thing I did not get from the dollar store was the Ho Ho Ho ribbon, and  even that was just slightly more.

Here are the dollar store supplies that I used; a straw wreath, Santa face decoration, 2 pine garland, 1 package of red medium size ornaments and red tinsel.   The white tinsel is in the picture because I thought of using it, but decided to use it for something else.

 I wrapped the straw wreath with the 2 packages of pine garland.   It looks pretty close to the more expensive pine wreaths you can find at the craft store but only cost a total of $3.

I added the ornaments to the wreath by bending ornament hooks.  I wrapped the wreath with the red garland, because I liked the candy cans.  I also attached Santa's head to the middle of the wreath.   I liked how it looked when it was like this, but something seemed missing.

That is remembered I had bought Santa ribbon last weekend at JoAnns for 60% off.  Since it says Ho Ho Ho I thought it would be perfect for a Santa themed wreath.   It is fun, colorful and only cost a few dollars to make!
