I especially love that you used a variety of different sizes. Mine was very uniform and I think yours definitely has some extra interest due to the variety. That looks great!

I'm not really sure what I could do differently...I guess I'd try to find a more firm wire hanger. I just grabbed one out of the closet from dry cleaning days. I probably could have found a stiffer one if I'd thought of it. Next time! All my balls were plastic, and on the “normal” (read: small) side, but my wreath was still distorted to a bit of an oval.

Mine got heavy in the end because I wound up with these gigantic (like, grapefruit-sized) balls but even then, it didn't really pull on the wire too much, it just distorted the shape because it fills up the inside of the wreath more in some places than others, so it doesn't look like a perfect circle. Weight wise, it is heavy, but the circle has held up well -- mine is basically a perfectly round circle, as opposed to an oval. If you use normal sized balls, I think you’ll be fine.

But the CVS was pretty cleared out, so mine has some GIANT balls on it, which kind of distorts the shape. And I broke about 6 ornaments in the process. As my husband said when he came home and found the wreath (and few remaining shards of glass)... maybe it's a sign that Jews just shouldn't be making Christmas wreaths. Sigh. I guess I'll need to find a Gentile to gift mine to.... I made one last night, too! But the CVS was pretty cleared out, so mine has some GIANT balls on it, which kind of distorts the shape.
