********************
Handmade Wreath
made using
A Styrofoam Wreath
Wrapped in Tinsel
I used a large soft Santa - possibly Vintage - he looks like an Annalee type doll
A mix of vintage, newer, and New Old Stock (from original box or package) Christmas replacement light bulbs - 24 larger and 13 smaller ones
Vintage, from original box, Flasher lights in starburst holders - 11 of these
and Bottle Brush Trees - also 11
And a wire hanger on the back
$~when looking at prices, please remember:  vintage ornaments are not cheap or easy to come by,
and the time spent shopping for them, and collecting nice newer ones is time also spent
and, most of all, remember - handcrafted items are just that, time and care are put into them, made by hand, not a machine ;)
...no two are exactly alike!  Truly OOAK (One Of A Kind)~$

***my note regarding items used:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
collecting vintage ornaments is fun, but it is hard to collect enough to completely finish off a wreath.  I try to use as many vintage pieces as I can, and fill in with newer pieces to complete the look.
These wreath has 60 total pieces, collected and crafted into the finished item :)

^^^^^^^^^^^DISPLAY AND STORAGE CARE NOTES:
Due to the fragility of glass ornaments, vintage or new, I ONLY recommended for indoor use, they are not meant for outdoor use.
STORE WITH CARE--extreme temperature (like in the attic or garage) can cause both the glue and glass to shrink and expand and this can cause ornaments to crack, pop off, or break off.  If an ornament does come off, you can easily put it back on with a hot temperature glue gun.^^^^^^^^^^^
the measurements of the finished wreath are about:
17" tall, 14 1/2" wide
and 4 1/2" deep
Remember that this is a handmade item, and will show things like maybe glue strands, or other things that happen during the process...these are the kind of qualities that make handmade items unique - All true handmade items are one of a kind due to the process of each individual that makes them ;)  THE VINTAGE ORNAMENTS:  They may have scratches, oxidation spots, and fading from years of use. THIS ALL ADDS TO THE VINTAGE CHARM OF THESE PIECES!
...please examine photos...pictures are always part of my description, and purchasing my items is your agreement that you have read the description and examined all photos...questions?  Send me a message.
SOLD AS IS
YOUR PURCHASE IS YOUR CONTRACT TO THE ABOVE
ON MY LARGE WREATHS:
They are heavy and require large boxes (USPS charges by the weight, distance, and charges more on large boxes) - and I must make sure they are safe and padded, which will add weight, I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING COST, I use Ebay's calculated shipping using USPS.  Thanks for understanding.
