Im not much of a bow person. but either way it will look nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-436486 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:43:47 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 436486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FriedBabyMama: It's really hard to tell, but most of the ornaments on there are just glittery. The picture really doesn't do it justice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-436444 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:28:15 +0000 Freckles 436444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks great!! I would leave it as is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-436009 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:45:33 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 436009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it needs a bow - maybe more sparkle? spray glitter some of the ornaments? the PB wreath just has more shine... but I'm totally impressed at your DIY version! Awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-436008 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:45:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 436008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the problem - I'm such a perfectionist... Everything has to be in the perfect place - haha</p> <p>I'll try to mess it up and see how it looks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435992 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:41:59 +0000 T-Mom 435992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @ladyfingers: I think you could place the ornaments less "perfectly" and it will look even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435103 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:53:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 435103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks so good!...... can you make me one? hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435066 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:42:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 435066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks good, I like the idea of a bow but it also looks good as is. </p> <p>I agree, I think the proportion is off between the size of the wreath and the size of the ornaments. </p> <p>Also, remember wreath decorating, divide the wreath into thirds and go from there. You can see on theirs the pattern of the balls starts with the three larger shiny silver ones and then filled in around those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435056 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:39:29 +0000 ladyfingers 435056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it but it looks like the placement of the ornaments on the original are more scattered than in perfect circles, so I'd vote for adding a silver bow and some more smaller ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435036 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:32:52 +0000 .twist. 435036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it as it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-435019 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:29:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 435019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks nice as is, but you could add either a silver, gold, or red bow if you wanted to. I would choose between silver or gold based on what looked nicer and was cheaper in the store. Or, you could add a few more ornaments around it. But honestly I think it looks really nice as is. I like the textures of the different ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434994 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:21:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the mantle w/ our current decorations </p> [attach=1632/12/memlvi.338x600.IMAG1105.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434983 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:18:33 +0000 lemondrop 434983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would fluff it just a little, other than that, I prefer yours to the inspiration. I like the textures and am not big on super shiny stuff :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434976 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:17:26 +0000 autumnlove 434976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a bow might add extra pizazz. Looks great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434972 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:15:50 +0000 Irishmom 434972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks great! Nice work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434958 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:08:35 +0000 tororojo 434958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: If there's stuff on your mantle (like candlesticks or pics or whatever), it might be overkill to add a bow? But if the area is pretty empty it would be a nice touch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434956 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:06:59 +0000 mlm2934 434956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if you could find a few larger Christmas balls to cluster with some of the smaller ones? Maybe the proportions are off just a little since you used a larger wreath? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434948 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:03:34 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: It's going over our mantle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434944 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:02:26 +0000 Smurfette 434944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks good the way it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434939 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:01:26 +0000 mediagirl 434939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: You could do both or combine one with red. I got my bow (yeah, no way I was making one either) from a Christmas store. Do you have any specialty stores around that sell just Christmas stuff? Or are there any places that make bows? Would Michael's make one for you? For some reason, I think they do that.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434937 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:01:11 +0000 tororojo 434937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your wreath looks great; I really like the different textures! Where is it going? A bow could look nice but I don't think it's necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434933 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:00:02 +0000 MrsTiz 434933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it the way you have it now!</p> <p>ETA- If you put a bow, I vote for gold. Or maybe a double layer bow in gold &amp; silver? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434931 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:59:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I was thinking of doing that, but I don't really know how to make pretty bows, but I could learn (thank you YouTube!). And then I don't know what color I would go with - gold or silver? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434928 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:58:43 +0000 boiledpnut 434928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that a bow would top it off. It looks great though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434921 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:57:32 +0000 mediagirl 434921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you put a big bow on it? That would liven it up and it would look beautiful! You did a great job, by the way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-opinions-needed-on-this-wreath#post-434915 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:55:37 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a beautiful wreath at Pottery Barn and decided to try to make it myself. I did, but I can't tell if it needs something else. The one they have is 22" and the one I made is 36". I got the ornaments from Walmart.com... most of them are full of glitter and not shiny like the ones from Pottery Barn. </p> <p>ETA: I added a poll </p> <p>Here's my inspiration:</p> <p>[attach=1632/12/memkop.482x437.Wreath_Inspiration.JPG]</p> <p>And here is mine:</p> <p>[attach=1632/12/memkpd.600x489.Wreath.JPG] </p>
