How to Make a Vintage Ornament Wreath

February 16, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Vintage ornaments can be used for every holiday, which makes them the perfect craft tool for a wreath. Vintage ornaments come in all varieties of shapes and sizes, making them the perfect choice to craft a unique wreath. This is the first year that I created a wreath for Valentine’s Day and I am OBSESSED! The heart shape and vintage trinkets that I added to the wreath make it so special. Follow along for the easy how to!

A few helpful tips:

  • Glass ornaments work the best to adhere to the wreath. When I have used plastic ornaments they tend to melt. Plastic style ornaments COULD be used but using a lower temperature glue gun or E6000 may work best.
  • Don’t skip the tinsel! The tinsel creates a really wonderful surface for your glue and glass to adhere.
  • Don’t be afraid to add fun trinkets to your wreath. They add so much character to the beautiful contrast of the vintage ornaments.
  • I love to create a focal point for the wreath and for this I typically use vintage picks.

Supplies

Foam Wreath Form

Tinsel Garland

Glass Ornaments in varying sizes

Additional vintage picks, characters, etc.

Hot Glue

Directions

1. Wrap your foam wreath form in tinsel. I like to use a dab of hot glue to secure the beginning of the tinsel, then continue to wrap, adding a small amount of glue along the way to secure.

2. Choose one size of ornament that can be used for the exterior ring of the wreath. Use hot glue to adhere the same size ornaments all the way around the exterior, this create a nice base to create your next layer.

3. Depending on the size of your wreath, you can repeat step #2 on the interior of the wreath. With the heart shape I could not do the interior, because there wasn’t enough space.

4. Next add ornaments with hot glue in a varied pattern in the spaces between your outer and inner layer. Make sure to save really special ornaments for the outermost layer so they can be shown off!

Let me know if you have any questions and I can’t wait for you to try this project! I am thinking my next wreath will be a patriotic wreath!

Fall is 117 days away, but who’s counting! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice. Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice.  I have never felt bad for buying more vintage. 

💚 It reduces waste. Just think you are keeping those items out of landfills.

💚 One of a kind style, that is often made with high quality materials. Vintage lasts a lifetime. 

💚 Vintage can be cost effective (besides a few crazy thrift stores) and can sometimes have investment potential. I often believe this of my jadeite collection, many values have almost tripled. 

💚 Vintage pieces have history! They each tell a story and carry charm with them. 

Have I convinced you yet? Isn’t that jingle catchy!

Each year I like to add a few decor pieces to vintage bikes to display around our farm. They bring me back to those childhood days of freedom. From flowers to patriotic decor, they each add a decorative flair to welcome summer. ❤️🚲❤️
