Christmas Wreath

One DIY I've found that I really enjoy is making wreaths.  I made this fall wreath pictured below last month. 


Since I received good feedback from family and friends, I decided I would make our Christmas wreath as well.

I went to Hobby Lobby at a great time, as both the Christmas and their regular floral sections were both 50% off.  I knew I wanted a green wreath and all red flowers. So, of course I got some poinsettias.  I really liked the glittery ones.



Calla lilies are my favorite flower, so I got a couple in red.



I got a small curly "G", and painted it red.  (I had originally painted it white, but I felt it stood out in a not so good way w/all of the red)


I also bought a few glittery leaves and curly pieces, that I for some reason didn't take a picture of before adding them to the wreath.

I first arranged them on the wreath, before using my hot glue gun to attach them.  I personally like to place the bigger pieces first, then fill in the empty space w/the smaller ones.





I'm pretty happy w/the final product.  It might even be something I'd try to sell in the future.  Some feedback on that idea would be appreciated!
