How to Make a Bubble Ball Wreath

Making your own festive bubble ball wreath will save lots of money.

Bubble ball wreaths have become a staple of modern holiday decor. They can be expensive to purchase, though, leaving little money left in a holiday decorating budget for much else. The do-it-yourself version of these wreaths take very little time and will leave plenty of cash for other decorating projects.

Things You'll Need

• Wire hanger
• At least 80 round glass ornaments of varying sizes and colors
• Hot glue gun
• Wide ribbon

Instructions

1. Bend the triangular part of your wire hanger into a circular shape. Untwist the hook end to open the circle, but leave the hook shape intact.

2. Squeeze a small bit of hot glue onto the metal loop end of each ornament. This will keep the ornaments secure on the hanger when strung. Allow to cool.

3. Slip the wire loops of the ornaments onto the wire hanger, alternating sizes and colors as you wish.

4. Re-twist the hook end of the hanger to close the circle. Hang the wreath with the hanger's hook. Cover the exposed wire with a large bow made of wide ribbon.
