I have always loved POTTERY BARN'S
simple but classic CHRISTMAS WREATH.
Altho I don't have beautiful PICKET gates like PB has,
that didn't mean I couldn't have a WREATH just as beautiful.

NOW......ON WITH THE SHOW.....
For my POTTERY BARN KNOCKOFF CHRISTMAS WREATH.....I started gathering Christmas balls here and there...
HOBBY LOBBY put all their Christmas items on for 50% off...YAY...
so I bought a large, beautiful green wreath and......
WENT TO TOWN, using what Christmas balls I had on hand and
those I bought at thrift stores....with a few of the half-priced ones at Hob Lob.
♥
...and my thrifty HOT GLUE GUN (which I am about half afraid of....)
THIS above mosaic is from last year's posting...ALL other photos are new.... ♥
I had more WHITE than RED balls but I can add more red as I get them.
I just may go back to HOBBY LOBBY and get some large RED balls and glue 'em on...

As I have stated....no pretty white picket fence with beautiful gates...
Only one lone PICKET and it is so shabbily peeling but still the perfect spot to show you my
POTTERY BARN KNOCKOFF
Christmas wreath.
.....just ♥ play-like this is a beautiful, white picket fence..k?
♫♪...it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....♪♪♫
It looks so good on this olden picket, I think I will make another to go here.
The photo on your left is POTTERY BARN'S beautiful wreath and
it is a picture of a photo so not as bright as it most likely is in real life...
It is $78.00 plus tax and shipping
Mine costs around $8.00.... very little tax and......NO SHIPPING. ♥♥♥

I LOVE it!! Yours could be in a PB magazine!! Martina
You are so good Bj! I love it so much, so pretty! Thank you ever so much for joining in again...you are my most loyal participant and I can always count on you:) Good luck on the giveaway too.
I can't believe anyone would buy that expensive version from Pottery Barn when it can be made so much cheaper. Yours looks just as good! I never thought of hot gluing on the wreath. I've added balls to a wreath using wire. If you hot glue though you can get them exactly where you want them. That's a better idea! I love it on your fencing too.
BJ,
You did a fabulous job on this wreath. It looks wonderful on your picket fence!
Sherry
Beautiful wreath, so colorful and rich!
Have a great new week! :)
Beautiful - I love it. How could anyone pay $78 for a wreath?!
Wow, BJ! It looks fabulous! And I love the price! Happy Sunday!...hugs...Debbie
Gorgeous and I love it on the picket fence! Great copy cat project! Merry Christmas!! hugs, Linda
Love it BJ! More than PB's. It looks great hanging on your fence.
I have to tell you bj, I am impressed!! I really am. Yours looks fantastic. I hung some wreaths...rather plain as I went woodsy but..I am rethinking and if I can come up with some extra balls..I just may add them. Hot glue you say? Ok. I have that.
YOU are always such an inspiration. LOVE it! :)
LOL Just reread my post..and let me rephrase that. If I come up with some extra red Christmas balls, I will use them. Am I making it worse?? *Sheesh!*
BJ, yours is better too! And that picket has tons more charm. Love following along with you! ~ Sarah
BJ I love it! You did a great job on the copy and the price is amazing!
Debbie
Great job, BJ! I like your wreaths better, too. ((hugs)) xo
BJ, I love it!! You nailed it in every single way!! You should just be tickled with yourself, when you think of how much you saved!! Great job!!
Not only does it look great, you can say you did it yourself! What a lovely wreath..you and your glue gun are a creative pair...
Kindredly,
Shirley
Outstanding! I can't believe how much it looks like the expensive wreath -- Actually, better! You might not have a full fence, but your section of the picket fence and the wreath look so, so pretty. Great job!
Best,
Gloria
beautifully done, I like yours best!
Beautiful copycat! It looks straight out of a magazine! So pretty!
it looks just perfect BJ, I love your price tag much more. very nice job
You definately copied it pretty well...it is precious on the bit of fence...Good job!
BJ..I actually think yours is more colorful. I love it!!
XO,
Jane
Another case of I like yours better than theirs. It's lovely! And your chippy fence is far better, too!
Your wreath is just as or more beautiful than Pottery BARN'S. I think their stuff is highly over priced. Sorry PB but that's how I feel!
Ok, I have the picket fence, but I need a lesson from you on making the wreaths! Seriously, I didn't glue mine, so I think I'll take them apart and COPY you!! (After the holidays) :)
You and your husband are adorable, love your photo on the sidebar!
Great job! Yours is definitely cuter than the original! And such a great savings, too!
I love yours and your picket fence is the cutest by far..way to go! :D
WONDERFUL. so pretty and I love the savings difference!!
I really like yours the best. Just love PB catalogs. I saw a glim,ps of an antique wagon in the new catalog. Looked alot like mine.
I have heard they have kids hot glue guns. I am looking for one....I hate gtting burndt.
Wow, you did a great job on your wreath. It looks just as lovely as the Pottery barn wreath and look at all the money you saved. I love it. Great photos and mosaic. Have a wonderful week!
Girl, YOU ARE BRILLIANT and so is your wreath:) I am doing some EXTRA decorating around my home tonight! My HUBBY is helping! Enjoy your week my friend, I always enjoy seeing what you are up to! HUGS!
What a lovely wreath. You did a great job. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
BJ,
you did a fab copy and on a budget too.. Love it on your fence.
Your wreath looks fabulous! I wouldn't have thought to hot glue to balls on, but it makes sense. I'm in the process of reworking an old wreath. I think I'll get out my glue gun!
What if I told you that I like your little shabby piece of picket MORE than the PB picket? Well, it's true. Both your wreath and theirs are knockouts. I love that abundant look. I never can get it quite right.
Santa says you've been a VERY good girl in saving all the money making your own beautiful wreath. What a great job you did, Ms. BJ!!
BJ,
Your wreath is gorgeous! I adore it on your piece of picket fence! Copy Cat or not...I'd say you've given Pottery Barn a good run for your money! Thanks for sharing!
Fondly,
Pat
P.S. That being half afraid of the hot glue gun...believe me...I understand!
I love it, looks better than PB's!
You did an excellent job! There's not much out there we can't do ourselves!
BTW, I am bagging my Christmas Tablescape party Magazine Inspiration. Not enough interest and too much like Deb's.
Your is way better babycakes as my hubby would say.
Every bit as beautiful as PB, BJ! Love it. You did a fabulous job.
I think your wreath is just beautiful!!! I also think your little bit of picket fence is too cute :-)
LOVE it!!
Fantastic! You did a beautiful job on the wreath, it's really pretty!
Wow! $8.00 that is awesome. Your's is so pretty. I have a hard time turning loose with $78 for a wreath but $8 I could handle. Not so sure mine would be as nice as yours.
Your wreath is beautiful! I love it and it looks so sweet against the shabby pickets.
Hugs, Cindy
BJ, I like your better than PB's! Beautiful!
Love the wreath, it's all about doing with but at a better price...lol...love it and love your wreath...phyllis
I actually think yours looks better!! It turned out great...love the picket fence too! I'm your newest follower from Debbiedoos Party. I'd love you to stop by blog if you get a chance & maybe follow along too!

I honestly like yours better than PB and it looks fabulous on your fence!
I love your wreaths!
Have a wonderful week,
Markus
I seriously mean this your is much much better looking them the other one. Merry Christmas
I love this wreath so much BJ! It looks every bit as good as the expensive PB one!
Bj Thanks so much for calling by - I had no idea I had word verification on (I hate that thing!!)so thanks for letting me know! Hope I have it sorted now!
Suzyq
It looks gorgeous, better then PB for sure. Take care and enjoy your week:)
The wreath looks great. The picket fence is the perfect backdrop.
Sharon @ mrshinesclass.wordpress.com
I will definitely do my own next year.
Looks beauteeful BJ! The bigger and fatter the wreath the more pretty it is (I think). That's my opinion and I am sticking to it. :) Have a wonderful week. xo
Just precious, as always. :-)
Love the picket fence effect.
And your Blog Look is soooooooo, sooooooooooo, sooooooooo pretty. Oh "be still my heart". Yummy pretty even.
Gentle hugs,

it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness."

Awesome copy cat, BJ! And what a cost savings!!! :D I love your picket fence, too.
