I have never made one of these gorgeous wreaths,
I think I have always been a little intimidated.
However, I have oodles of these gorgeous vintage ornaments,
so I may have to try one this year!

I totally like where you're heading with this Melanie! You don't find many with vintage ornaments! Go for it!! I wana see. :)
Wouldn't a wreath with varying shades of white and cracked old finishes be amazing?!?

I think you will like it.
I only have two boxes of vintage ornaments from my childhood, and am afraid to make a wreath out of them. They are over 50 yrs old...
I want to enjoy them and may try something that dosen't envolve glue. Any ideas? Some are as large as a grapefuit.
Those are so beautiful! I especially love the blue and brown one. :)
I've admired these wreaths for years - I'm just scared to try! Maybe I'll buy some cheap ornaments on clearance this year and give it a try...you should to!
I made one of these the other night! I put mine on a live wreath. It was such an easy project that looks a lot more expensive than it was.
The wreaths are beautiful. I especially love the blue and chocolate one! I have vintage ornaments that my mil gave me that we hang on an all white tree each year in our library. It really makes a statement since we only use vintage on that tree.
Oh I love the blue and brown. So different and so pretty. Thanks for all the inspirations. Hugs, Marty
Love those wreaths! If you decide to make one, I can't wait to see it!~Patti
Antique and Vintage ornaments are my absolute favorite...I buy them all year round. I think a wreath would be awesome to make and a great way to show them off.
Love the vintage ornaments - what a great thought.
I saw the Canadian Living one and fell in love awhile ago ~ they are oh so pretty and with all those vintage ornaments, I betcha it will be beautiful!
What a great way to use these ornaments. I too have boxes of them I might have to try a small one to begin with and see how it turns out.
Great post

Oh the brown and blues with the chippy door....Heaven
Hi, Melanie --
I love the look of the vintage ornament wreaths (and Magpie Ethel makes them here in Portland) but I am always afraid I'll regret using the ornaments in something "permanent" ... just like I hesitate to cut up old French letters and some music ... just a wimp, I guess.
Took a minute to get caught up on past posts and laughed to myself. Think you said Saturday night you were at play in Seattle? Seems we were across the street ... in town to cheer on someone for the marathon on Sunday.
Small world - huh?
Have a super week and if you make a wreath, show us a pic!
Hugs -
Betty :)
I really love the blue and silver one!! Beautiful!! :)
A vintage ornament wreath is over the top Christmas cheer! Love them! Can't wait to see yours!
I dream of a vintage ornament wreath...someday! Your blog is simply beautiful. It seems every photo you share is one that I would choose. Thank you for the daily inspiration!
Best wishes,
Tammy
That’s a brilliant idea! It’s very innovative of you to have created this beautiful ornament.
