Nativity Wreath & Vintage Ornaments

I had some old Christmas Cards in my stash and was thinking of what

I could do with them.

I needed something quick, easy and needed to use what I had.

**Lightbulb**

How about a wreath?

This is what I did

Found some cardboard

Used a dinner plate to draw the wreath base

and a cup for the center circle.

Cut it out

I found some gold spray paint left from another project 

painted it front and back.

I decided to make it a Nativity Wreath

I went thru the cards and pulled out all the religious themed ones

Cut out the images

arranged them..many, many times!

and when I found all the right places for each I hot glued them down.

Found some coordinating wired ribbon in my ribbon tote

Hot glued it on

What do you think??

This is my first time joining
Joan over at The Potting Shed ~ Anything Goes Here
for Vintage Christmas Monday.

Be sure to pop over and see everyone's
vintage Christmas goodies.

One of my favorites is this crocheted Bell.
I remember my Grandmother making it when I was little.
She fussed with it while starching to make it stiff.
It has a little bell inside.

This is another one she made.

We discovered while cleaning out the house,
I don't remember it.
This one is a much tighter stitch.
It's smaller and really soft, it too has a little bell inside.

I have more for next Monday!
