Front Door Wreath: Framed Ornaments
December 2, 2011 by Aimee • 65 Comments
Hello December!!!
After a few traditional wreaths in style and shape I was ready for a little change!!! I had a large frame lying around that I wanted to do something with, it was collecting too much dust! I gave it some Christmas Spirit a covering of bright red spray paint!
I searched every row in Hobby Lobby for the right ornaments (several times). But I have to say my store is pretty picked over, maybe because they started selling Christmas in July, ya think!?!
I knew I needed unbreakable ornaments too so that added to the dilemma! I checked a few places and then Target came through!!! Eight (I only used five) ornaments all in a box: the perfect color, size and non-shatter!!!
I grabbed some ribbon I had on hand and used the hook that was already on the frame to hang the ornaments from the frame. I used the same hook to hang the frame from my favorite door jewelry with the same ribbon I’ve been using for the last two months!
Total price: $5.00 (cost of ornaments). Total Time: 5 minutes. Have I mentioned before that I totally love it when things are simple!?! Especially during such a busy season!!!
Do you love it!?!? At this point in our remodel, we’re thinking we should enter in the HGTV show, Curb Appeal, so to have a fun bright focal point is totally necessary!!!
And do me a favor, don’t look behind this door! I have all the goodies from Christmas that I’ve decided need to find another family tucked behind there until I can make a run to my favorite charity dropoff: our local Safe Haven.
Love this framed wreath – and your feather trees! Great job – now following you.

This turned out so cute. I love Target for their cute, non shattered proof ornaments. I will have to go and spray paint a frame and get making mine. Thanks for sharing.
I would love it if you could link this up to our linky party going on right now.

I love things that are differently cute and this is one of those things. I have all the stuff to do this (except the paint), and this will definitely go on my “gotta do it” list. Thanks!

So fun! I love simple crafts like these, and aren’t those shatterproof (plastic)ornaments the best?!
You did it again Aimee! Funny how browsing thru linky parties early mornings I always end up here! Love your style,
Gen

this is gorgeous!
I love it, Aimee! How creative and unique! I love the ornaments and how you’ve hung them, too.
This is such a unique idea! I never think to use something like a frame vs. a wreath on the front door. It looks really beautiful!
So cute! I love the playful ornaments you chose!
I love it! I saw something similar on Pinterest, but I never could find a thrifted frame I liked. Fabulous!
Love that bright pop of color. Thanks for linking up to Refresh Your Nest Friday!
what a cute display! love the ornaments and the red frame really pops!
I. love. this. Everything about it! Pleeeeease say you’ll link it here:
