Christmas in the Guest Room

Our guest room is decorated for Christmas and ready for company!  I made a wreath to hang on the armoire where I store quilts. This wreath is ...very pretty...easy to make...and inexpensive!  I am not good at tutorials, but here goes!!   I start by spraying a grape vine wreath white.  (I got mine at a yard sale for .25)  Then,  I wrap a string of 100 lights (use the cool ones with white cordses) around the white wreath,  secure in a few places with silver wire.   I got my lights  at HL with a 40% off coupon.  Then, I went to the Dollar Tree and purchased 2 packs of 6--7" paper doilies ( they are in the wedding section).  I cut some of them in half and some in quarters and started hot gluing them around the wreath.  I also cut a little  X in the center of some of the doilies and put them around the individual lights..add some ribbon to the bottom of the wreath and glue little pieces of lace anywhere you can see the grape vine wreath
