Christmas Wreath Topiary Trees w/ Red Transferware

Yesterday I hinted at a recent Christmas decor project I'd just finished up and I'm now ready to show it to you all. 

Do you ever have an idea floating around in your head of something you want to create?  I do.  A lot.  More often than not I don't see these ideas in my mind come to fruition, but this is one that I did, and as luck would have it, it wound up that most of the work that I knew it would entail was already done!

  About two years ago I made a cute little wreath with a plate anchored in the center of it.  I'm not sure why, but I never made any others, though in the back of my mind I'd been thinking about a similar Christmas decor project consisting of a trio of wreaths in graduating sizes, one atop the other, planted in a flower pot and forming a topiary.

Well...last year I was at Sams (similar to Costco) and saw these 6' tall wreath topiaries.  They were almost exactly what I'd envisioned (less red transferware) in my mind, assembled as one over the other, each part of the same frame which was great for stability as I'd been thinking about how to 'stack' the wreaths in this way where they would be sturdy.  These even had hooks for hanging something within the wreath!  PERFECT! Some company had the same idea as I did and manufactured these even more sturdy than I'd imagined.  (I'll be suing them shortly for totally ripping off my idea, but for now it proved most convenient! hehe, just kidding.)  I was thrilled to snag two of these after Christmas for 75% off and I've been patiently waiting since last year to put this together.

I selected three graduating sizes of plates to go in the center of each wreath and adhered the appropriate sized disc hangers that I carry to the back of each plate.  

These already had hooks fixed into the frames and I simply had to hang my plates in place of the oversized christmas ornaments that were formerly there.

Did I mention they were pre-lit... and flocked...and came with the removable bows...and already decorated with ornaments and berries?  This turned out to be one of the easiest things ever, thanks in large part to some company having a similar idea and manufacturing these to better specs than I'd imagined!  Woo hoo!

I assembled two of these topiaries and they are flanking a ginormous Belgian styled armoire.

I'll share some more of my Christmas decor in the next couple of weeks.
