It’s not the holidays at the Cranston’s unless there is another wreath DIY! This year my motto was “go big or go home”. And by big I mean a 3 foot tall wreath! Made of ornaments.
When we moved into our current home 5 years ago, the previous owners left a giant wreath in the garage that they used to hang up outside. It was not my style so a couple years ago I tore everything off of the wreath form and just let it sit in my attic. This year I decided it was finally time to do something with it but I had no idea what. I started scrolling Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration, as I usually do, and my eyes were immediately drawn to the wreaths made of ornaments. I wanted to make something a bit more unique than just a regular circle wreath, so I decided I would turn the giant form int one of my favorite things – a peace sign!
It took me nearly my entire Veteran’s Day off of work to complete it, and I keep having to glue ornaments back on (thanks, kids) but it really turned out great and it is a great statement piece in my family room above my couch.

Fill in the remaining space on the wreath with ornaments, stacking some on top of others.
