Pink Christmas Ball Wreath -- Repost

This is a re-post from last year.  My pink Christmas ball wreath post has been one of the most visited posts that "In His Grip" has ever had so I am re-posting it today for my new readers that may not have seen how great Christmas can be if you make it pink.

This is the Christmas wreath that Anna made for me this past weekend.  She showed me this really cute wreath on a blog a couple of weeks ago and had me  buy some pink Christmas balls to so she could make one.  This was an easy peasy project.  Here are the steps so you can make one too. 

 
Take a wire hanger and untwist it and then stretch it into a circle.

 
Before stringing the balls onto the hanger you will need to hot glue the tops on.  This is an important step because as the hanger gets full and the balls tighten together they will pop off.  Do not skip this step, believe me!

 
You will need to use several size balls to fill in as much as possible the blank spaces.  Don't worry if the wire shows a bit, once the wreath is complete you can fill in by hot gluing small balls to fill in the gaps.  When the hanger is full twist the two ends of the wire hanger together and then cover it with a large ribbon.

 
I love the way this turned out and I think Anna rocks for making one for me.   Thanks, Anna, I love you!

This is very pretty. I have a bunch of round bells of various sizes and I think I may try this with the bells. Thanks.

This is great...I was not wanting to spend 10 bucks on a foam form for this project, wire hangers are free! Thanks!

That is so, so pretty -- and in my favorite color, too! I'm not even remotely crafty, but this looks like something even I could accomplish ... :)
