Holiday Ornaments on Wires
Your local florist or craft store should have a colorful selection of small holiday ornaments on wires or picks. These will be easy to wire on or stick into a wreath. You can also twist several of these together and attach clusters of ornaments in no time flat.Floral Picks
Browse the holiday floral pick aisle of a craft store for ideas galore. You may find picks of sparkling crystals, faux sugared fruits, or metallic snowflakes. Stick these into your wreath here and there, using wire to attach them more permanently if needed.Flat Ornaments
Many flat ornaments such as stars or snowflakes can be wired onto a wreath for a stunning effect. We found gold stars in the wood cutouts section of a craft store and used hot glue to attach them. However, you could also drill small holes into the pieces and attach with a length of floral wire.Ribbon Garland
Twine your wreath with circles of ribbon wound loosely around the entire wreath.Purchased Garland
Sparkling craft store garlands can easily be set on top of the wreath and attached here and there with floral wire or pipe cleaners.Lights
