Hello AT,
I have looked all over the Internet and cannot find a "silver ball ornament" Christmas wreath (i.e., a wreath made of different or the same size silver Christmas ball ornaments.) I have found gold and red, but would like silver to go with my contemporary decor.
I know I could create one myself, but the holidays are such a busy time. Does anyone know where I could buy one of these wreaths?
Thank you! Jeff

I have a Jingle Bell wreath from Pottery Barn- It is no longer on their site, but someone has it listed on ebay... (http://cgi.ebay.com/POTTERY-BARN-KIDS-JINGLE-BELL-WREATH-12-SILVER-NEW_W0QQitemZ150065221345QQihZ005QQcategoryZ10941QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting)
If that doesn't work out, I also saw a JINGLE BELL SWAG on Potterybarn.com which looked nice too. (Swag $59.00)
Hope that helped!
Kmart.com has a Martha Stewart version but it is silver and gold.

They also have this, which is silver, but it is a snowflake design with bells and balls:

Garnet Hill has some nice modern ones

when i read "contemporary wreath" i instantly thought of the latest issue of ReadyMade. they featured a foam wreath with plastic zip-ties encircling it which were then sprayed silver. true, it's not a silver ornament wreath, but it looked super modern and would be a snap to make in an afternoon.
here's a link to the aforementioned wreath.
I am not sure were you are based but there is a really, really nice one in the gift shop of the Folk Art Museum on 53rd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in New York City. I don't think it's very expensive.
Ha! I bought that Garnet Hill jingle bell wreath and 5 of the MS jingle bell wreaths!
The wreath on ebay is exactly what i was looking for. I'll keep looking for a larger one as well.
Thanks All!
More specifically, I purchased the white Garnett Hill jingle bell wreath (awesome) and 5 of the Martha Stewart silver jingle bell snowflakes (awesome and inexpensive).
A very monochromatic Christmas to all!
I'll look for my decorating commission check in the mail (haha!)
i made one while I was watching tv last year. It really doesn't take too much work.
Just find one you like and use a can of spray paint.
Hey NB! I bought the MS jingle snowflakes and Garnett Hill jingle wreath a few days ago. So, kiss that commission goodbye. But, I appreciate all of your suggestions!!!
I did go the lazy route and buy the silver ball wreath on eBay. Thanks for all of your suggestions everyone!!!!
I know you don't want to make one; but I remembered Martha making one a few years back -- it was featured on the cover of her magazine, and I thought it looked much better than the one selling at Kmart.
Click on my name for the URL to the instructions. It's probably not super-easy, but it doesn't look horrendously difficult either.
That tie one looks good but what does it have to do with Christmas? - the ones with baubles are just about Christmassy but just because something is round doesn't make it a Christmas wreath!
Okay, Jeff, but did you see these silver bell stocking holders at The Company Store (on sale)?
