This year I made a few gifts instead of buying them. I am not much of a crafter. I like doing it but don't really have the time for it, and I often get discouraged if my project doesn't come out the way I imagine it in my head. But I had seen several vintage ornament wreaths on some of my favorite blogs and thought, "I can do that". I searched all year for old ornaments at estate sales. I ended up making one ornament wreath for my mom, a pink ornament bunt cake for my little sister and a vintage jewelry wreath for my big sister. Here is how they came out. Not totally perfect but I'm happy with them, and I can't really decide which one is my favorite because I like them each for different reasons.
The pink bunt cake. For my little sister because she is pink and sparkly and loves to cook and bake.
The big Christmas wreath for my mom using some older ornaments that she probably pricing in her head how much the ornaments are worth. She is a big collector of old Christmas.
And the jewelry wreath for my big sister. She loves vintage jewelry. It looks better in person than in these photos. Nice thing about this one is you can easily take some of the jewelry off of it if you wanted to wear it. I used old brooches, hat pins, shoe clips, button and a beaded necklace.
So what do you think of them?
