Christmas Wreath 2012!

I actually came up with a wreath all on my very own, with no help from Pinterest. Cue the shock. LOL

 This was ridiculously simple to make - 12" styrofoam wreath form, pair of over-the-knee socks from Target, "holiday picks" from Target, birds and letter ornaments from Target. (I love Target. Who doesn't?) You'll also need extra long straight pins and a bit of ribbon.

 The wreath form I bought had already split at the seam, but if yours isn't, you'll need to cut it at the seam. Put the socks on the form. If your wreath is like mine, the ends won't meet up - I used extra long straight pins to hold the two ends together. Then I pinned the socks to the form at the top. These particular socks have a fold and pretty buttons at the top - if yours don't, you'll probably want to fold them under to make the edges look nicer.

 Then just arrange the ornaments/picks however you want, and pin them in place! Easy peasy! Cut a small length of ribbon, make a loop, and pin it at the top (I used 4 pins) and you're done!
