I know this is not 'paper crafting' but I am so pleased with how these turned out and the person I would normally share with is a recipient for one of them so I can't share with her! ;)
I actually sat at my craft table and clapped my hands with glee when I finished the green/red/white one:mrgreen:
I've always loved the glass/plastic ball wreaths. Someday I will make some to decorate my home during the holidays. Right now though I have too many heavy-handed young adult's in my house and would fear for the wholeness of my glass balls
Yours are beautiful. Well done!

a bit of both, I looked at some tutorials mainly the frugal crafters ones, but I used a metal wreath as I have an aversion to Styrofoam (don't ask lol). Once I had the general idea I went for it, to be honest once you start it doesn't take long to start to see if taking form.
I am tempted to pick more baubels up in the sales and make some as gifts for next year.
As I glued mine rather then pinned pinned them, but you wouldn't want to use your precious glass baubels if you are going to use glue and you would never be able to take it apart.
Your wreaths are stunning! I'm proud of you for making them.
I saw them on the Frugal Crafter's blog, too, and thought for a brief moment about making them. But then sanity returned, and I realized I have so many projects already to finish for Christmas. I sew, and need to make two tiered skirts for my granddaughters, and, and......
But I really love your wreaths!

SO PRETTY! I can't tell if they are small or large? Are they candle rings or hang up as a wreath? Please tell us more.
They are 12 inch metal wreaths, that once completed are about 15 inches plus wide. you could do them smaller but you would need to downscale the bauble size which would be cute too.
I have a weird physical reaction to Styrofoam (teeth water, hair stands on end...:rolleyes so I used metal frames which is a bit more work, but once you get going it is fine.
You need a lot of baubles, for this size I used 75 standard sized baubles, I think they are 2 1/2 wide, and then about 50 smaller 1 inch baubles, it sounds a lot but getting the bottom layer takes more baubles then you would think.
Crafting I had to share but not paper crafting!
