Note if I had my Christmas decorations down from the attic it would have cost even less as I could have used ornaments that I already had. This was so easy to do!!!  All you need to do is grab your glue gun and  get to work...

Well this is how we start with a crumpled up wreath. I bought if from Hobby Lobby. The first thing you do is start pulling it apart all the little branches need to be pulled out and fluffed up just like an artificial Christmas tree.

After my wreath was pulled out I took some left over paper and a garbage bag and covered the grass and sprayed the flocking powder on the wreath. In all honesty I don't know if the flocking will remain on the wreath during some of the heavy rains we get her in Alabama in the winter months. Great news we had heavy rains yesterday and the flocking remained on the wreath!!! It will look good either way though as my ornaments are so bright and glittery.

I laid out all my pieces next to the wreath on my counter, making sure the packages were opened and all the tags were off. First I attached the bow with a bread tie to the wire frame. Then I placed the pointsettas on. Then I added the picks by either wrapping around the wire base of the wreath or using the glue gun.

I just love glittery objects don't you? See all I did was add a little glue, and put it in place on the wreath. The flocking was all over my fingers from reaching in the branches. This was so much fun.

Here is a close up of it sitting on the dining room table... be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it. It just glitters and sparkles!

Here is a close up, see the glitter on the pointsettas? This is just so pretty.

The bells reflecting the glitter of the ornament as well as reflected the light.

I wanted to finish my entry so I wanted  a small Christmas tree in the urns beside my front door.  So I followed the same steps except I just added adorned the trees each with a package of 27 multi-colored small ornaments and placed them in the urns.
