Christmas Wreaths

I've been  a wreath making machine!! I wanted to be through with all of them by this time but tendinitis delayed me. I just started with plain green wreaths, rolls of ribbon, shatterproof ornaments & about a million picks from Hob Lob!
This is for my friend Allison. She's a little wild & crazy & she let me go with a not so traditional color scheme.
I think it totally fits Allison's personality. I thought I may have gotten  a little carried away but she claims to love it! I know it looks funny across the bottom but that's just because it's sitting on the floor & the bottom is smushed. I like to use 2 different ribbons to make the bows but I couldn't find a lime green ribbon that I liked so I just used 2 different silver ones.

This one is for my friend at work Stan & his wife Renee. They're hosting our dept. Christmas party this year & are getting the house all decorated. 
I have to make another one like this because they have double front doors. It's the last one I have to make & I hope to get it done tonight. One whole room in my house is a total mess because all the stuff for the wreaths is spread out all over the floor.

This one is for my friend Vicki.
She liked the monogram I did for one of the fall wreaths so I added it to this one. I just bought the particle board type letter at Hob Lob & I painted it white & then added silver & red glitter glue. I see now after I took the picture that I need to fix the bow but you get the idea.

This one is for Wendy. Her & Vicki both chose silver & red. I did different things with each of them so they wouldn't look exactly alike.
Another smushed bottom. It just occurred to me that I could've hung them on a bedroom door with a wreath hanger & taken a better picture. Too late now. Anyway, you get the point.

I also made one for my mom but the picture I took is on Dean's phone. She already has hers hanging on her front door. It was done in red & gold.

I'm linking up with Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for Metamorphosis Monday. She always has tons of  good stuff to look at on her blog!
