I have a little more simpler way tho to do it.. I dont do the wire wreath or all that wiring.. Its just not me.. I bought an inexpensive foam ring from craft store (with a 40%off coupon), and a refill bag of glue sticks for the ole glue gun... started with a strand of beads, glued one bead, and just wrapped around the foam ring, tacking ever so often with glue gun. Added a bow, and WALA.... sooooo easy.. I am just not into wiring. But the Wreath is Gorgeous, and I apreciate the idea!!luv2crushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363478390328376651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802373709239512036.post-86516520819608529262012-01-28T15:19:01.058-08:002012-01-28T15:19:01.058-08:00I got the wreaths last night to start this.......I...I got the wreaths last night to start this.......I won the Zatarain's House party so I want this hanging on the front door.
