Place your pool noodles together.

Secure with duct tape.

Repeat for the other end.

Make sure to match the ends up perfectly before taping.

If you are going to cover the base (the green or whatever color pool noodle you have used) affix material.

I have done this in the midst of the project as well, really it is how comfortable you are maneuvering the wreath once you have a base layer of bulbs on.

Personally, I would suggest doing this now, it's so much easier to work on.

Next, place your ornaments on the interior of the wreath for a basic design.

Also, try placing a few ornaments on and seeing how they look BEFORE you begin gluing.

Once you start, you will do so on the top portion.

Glue down each bulb.

I alternated bulb top to the front and one to the middle of the wreath but this makes zero difference.

Once you get around the whole wreath, you then begin the interior or exterior whichever you feel like working on.

Continue all the way around, filling each area you can see with the right-sized bulb.

Sometimes the bulbs will need to be bigger, other times smaller.

Your eyes will be your guide I'm figuring out what bulb to affix.

Continue this process until both the inside and outside of the wreath are covered with bulbs.

Allow this to set up and dry overnight.

Realizing you used hot glue and it dries rapidly, I still allow it to dry.

Once it is set, pick it up and see if anything falls, and if it does, glue it back on.

You can fill in any spaces with holiday embellishments such as sparkle flowers, poinsettia pieces, ribbon, tulle, etc.

Don't forget to spray the wreath bulbs and allow to dry (if you used glitter or non-shatterproof bulbs) before you hang.

Then, display your wreath wherever you choose on your front door, or inside the house.

Enjoy!
