I roughshod inwards beloved amongst it, but stance it would stimulate got forever to circular upward that many thrifted argent trays to brand my own.  Then, I realized that I could run the trays from Dollar Tree!

I knew correct away that I wanted my wreath to endure a big disputation over the drape this year.  So, using the peacock mirror that usually hangs upward at that topographic point every bit a conduct to instruct the circle right, I set out the bottom layer of trays (there were 8), but eyeballing to infinite them evenly.

Then, I alternated the rectangle in addition to oval trays inwards a layer on overstep of the circles to give some variety.  I applied hot mucilage to the edges of the trays underneath that would endure covered up, in addition to and thus stuck a tray on overstep betwixt them.

Lastly, I added six to a greater extent than circular trays inwards the center, scooting them closer to the oculus in addition to hot-gluing them to the edges of the layer underneath.

I carefully flipped the entire affair over (if it bends also much when you're treatment it the spots amongst the mucilage volition popular loose).  Then, I squirted to a greater extent than hot mucilage at all of the coming together points to brand everything to a greater extent than secure.

After working through some other 1 amongst my Dad, nosotros decided that it in all likelihood would stimulate got been improve to brand a big cardboard form-like a donut-to run every bit the base of operations in addition to mucilage the bottom layer to that.  It would endure to a greater extent than secure.  Mine is working out fine every bit is, thus that's but some other alternative if you lot desire to endeavour this out.  We also stance something similar Liquid Nails powerfulness concord together better, but the hot mucilage was fine too.  *Update- mine came apart pretty easily later Christmas when storing.  It's non a big bargain to mucilage it dorsum together, but I'll definitely endure attaching it to a cardboard telephone this time.

To hang it, I used a slice of jute rope in addition to hot glued the ends down, in addition to thus glued a slice of ribbon over that to brand certain it wouldn't come upward loose.  The wreath actually isn't really heavy in addition to this has worked out great.

The size ended upward beingness around 45" inwards diameter, thus non bad for $22 in addition to some hot glue!

To overstep everything off, I got a wild pilus in addition to could envision this affair glowing at night.  So, I used some Frog Tape to secure a 100 ct. string of lights to the back.

The lights aren't quite every bit brilliant every bit I would stimulate got liked, but it is a soft, warm glow at night.

I've played around amongst 4-5 unlike bows, ultimately non liking whatever of them.  I'm enjoying it as-is for now, but stimulate got a few ideas to wearing clothing it upward a petty flake to a greater extent than when I decorate my drape (DIY gilt painted vases works life Word Slingers here.
