Ornament Wreath – Monogram Style
I’ve been itching to make an ornament wreath after seeing so many in blog land over the past few weeks. I decided to do an ornament wreath with a twist, our monogram.
Mr. SP made this wire form for me a few years ago and I never used it. I intended to cover it with greenery, but he made a wooden form that ended up being much better for that purpose. To keep the ornaments from sliding off, we cut a wine cork in half and used the drill press to hollow out holes in the end of the cork. The ornaments end up hiding the cork pieces.
I bought a lot of ornaments because I had no idea how many it would take to cover this “S”. I used almost 150 ornaments to cover the form in large, medium, and small sizes.
Eddie Ross recommended using a glue gun to glue the caps to the ornaments. The ornaments that I bought were plastic and the cap didn’t come off. The wire that my “S” is made of was too thick for the ornament holes, so I had to individually wire each ornament to the form. Mr. SP found this cool red wire in the trash at his old job. I’ve used it for a lot of projects and it really worked well on this one.
I wired and wired and then wired some more. Almost finished!
Ta-Da! The finished project!
The outside of our home is ready for Christmas, now on to the inside!

Oh my gosh….how cute is that? What a creative person, it’s so amazing. I love all these blogs……I get so many ideas. Very nice, you did a fabulous job. Would you be coming to Denver anytime soon? I have a house that needs a creative touch.
So clever! I love when a good idea (like the Eddie Ross wreath) gets a new/personal spin! I think that’s what all this blog sharing is all about!
Love your “S”. I haven’t seen this idea before.
I can’t believe you were shopping at The Meating Place. We live exactly one mile from the market Best meat in the area. One of my relatives started the business.
Cute!
I love it!
Really pretty!
Love it!
I love this and sooo unique to your home! That makes it even better. Thanks for sharing that. I made a wreath out of ornaments too but it is a traditional round one.

Hi there!
Great job on your wire wreath. Our initial would be an “F.” What do you think? Should I try it?
So cute!
