You’re probably thinking why share a wreath now? I know, but I haven’t decorated our dining room at all, not one touch of Christmas in there. So I decided to decorate the dining room table at least. For a centerpiece I decided to make a wreath for a candle ring to place in the center of the table.
It’s time for our monthly Creative Craft blog hop. If you are coming over from Kristin, White Arrows Home, welcome to Decorate and More with Tip! Wasn’t Kristin’s banner so pretty? This month we have 16 bloggers sharing some awesome crafts. Are you ready to get your crafting skills on? The craft blog hop is hosted by Chloe, Celebrate and Decorate and Andrea, Design Morsel. At the bottom of my wreath’s tutorial I will share each participant’s link to their craft.

I just love the wreath I created for the creative craft hop. Roses and hydrangeas together made a great combination for my Christmas wreath. I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together.
Here are the items I used for my wreath.
- 5 red roses
- 5 small hydrangea blooms
- 1 bundle of flocked leaves
- 1 pick of green thistle stems
- 3 different types of greenery picks
- small pinecones
- red berries
- red jingle bells
- ultra fine red glitter from Paradise Glitter
- large Dollar Tree wicker wreath form
I pulled out all of my holiday tubs to gather my items for this wreath. I had every holiday tub out rummaging through them.
- roses were in my Valentine’s tub
- hydrangeas were in my spring flower tub
- all the greenery were in my Christmas tubs
- wicker wreath form was in my Easter tub
To fill the wreath with greenery I first poked the flocked greenery stem into the wreath.
I added the thistle stems next in to the wreath the same way, sticking it into the wreath form.
Filling in all the gaps with evergreen twigs. I hot glued them to the wreath.
Hanging the wreath on my wreath board so I can have a good view of the wreath while finishing the decorations.
To fill in the gaps with more greenery, the picks I used were an evergreen pick and cypress pick. Removing it off the stem and gluing it on the wreath form.
Grabbing my roses to place on the wreath next. I remove the roses from the stem and added them to my wreath.
That’s definitely not the look I want for my wreath. I pulled the roses off the wreath and grabbed my red glitter to add to the tips of the petals.
I am using glitter from Paradise Glitter, in the color Cardinal. If you are a craftaholic like I am you might be interested in taking a look at Paradise Glitter’s website here → PARADISE GLITTER. They have all the variety of glitter you could imagine and so many colors to choose from. I was amazed at all the different colors they have on their site. The glitter I have is their ultrafine glitter. It’s like fairy dust, it gives your craft a more glitzy and elegant look.
I dipped my paint brush into modge podge tapped it on the tip of the petals, sprinkled the glitter on the whole rose, tapped the excess glitter off on a piece of paper.
Look at the difference between the two roses on the wreath.
After I applied the glitter on the roses I added the unused glitter back into the package.
I added all 5 roses back to the wreath. The roses look richer with the glitter, don’t you agree?
I took Dollar Tree hydrangeas gluing them next to each rose.
I would of never thought to add the two flowers together, but they sure look pretty together.
Next, I added some berries to the wreath. I had bits and pieces from left over projects, hot gluing them to the wreath in random places.
I had some pinecones left on the bundle, I cut the pinecones off the stem and hot glued them onto the wreath.
The last item I added to the wreath were Dollar Tree red jingle bells. I hot glued them to the wreath as well.
What do you think? Do you agree it’s the prettiest wreath I shared with you?

I think using the Paradise Glitter on the tips of the petals made the roses pop!!
Before making my wreath I made sure to choose the right colors to coordinate with my Christmas plates.
I placed the wreath in the center of the dining room table and placed my glass candle holder in the middle of the wreath.
The charger plates and jingle bells bring a metallic flare to the table, as well as the glitter on the roses.
Putting this table together on the fly turned out to be pretty cute.
A wreath can be used for other purposes than hanging on your front door. I love using mine for candle rings as well. Maybe I can revamp it a little and use it for Valentitne.
