Thanks guys! I'm so pleased with it

Has anyone had any experience with making candles? I've seen some beautiful examples on pinterest but I've never tried it.

You guys are seriously impressive. Has anyone made an ornament wreath before? I was thinking of trying to make one for my grandparents this year but I'm decidedly craft challenged.

If you've made one, got a good set of instructions? Any tips?

I'm currently making a 50 ft ornament garland. It's 1200 ornaments! My only advice is hot glue all the hooks on and don't try to make a pattern. I strung 1 set from Hobby Lobby (maybe 50 ornaments), and it made a great wreath when I was just playing around to see how much give they had.

Thanks! Did you use glass or plastic ornaments? I am seeing conflicting information on what to use.

I'm using the shatter proof plastic ones.
