Want Your Favorite Christmas Ornament to Steal the Show? Try This Wreath Trick.
Wondering how to make your favorite Christmas ornament shine this holiday season? For example, placing it at the center of a wreath creates a stunning, elegant display. At Forged Flare®, we craft handmade ornaments like our Mother’s Angels® that are perfect for this creative idea. Here’s how to make it happen!
Why Center a Christmas Ornament in a Wreath?
For instance, a Christmas ornament at the heart of a wreath becomes a focal point, transforming a traditional decoration into something personal. Whether it’s a handcrafted keepsake or a family heirloom, this method highlights your ornament in a festive, meaningful way.
What You’ll Need
-
Your favorite ornament (like a Forged Flare® Mother’s Angels® piece)
-
A wreath (real or artificial, not too big)
-
Ribbon or ornament hook
-
Optional: floral wire, hot glue, or small accents (like berries or pinecones)
- Pro Tip: Get creative and swap ornaments on your wreath for every season — think birth flowers for spring birthdays or beach-themed designs for summer! (Note: Our handcrafted designs aren’t meant for outdoor use, so keep them protected from the elements to preserve their sparkle.)

Steps to Display Your Ornament
-
Choose the Perfect Wreath
First, select a wreath that complements your Christmas ornament. For example, a simple evergreen or neutral wreath lets a detailed piece, like our Mother’s Angels®, stand out. Alternatively, match the wreath’s colors to your ornament’s design for a bolder look. -
Secure the Ornament
Next, use a ribbon or hook to hang your ornament at the wreath’s center. Then, ensure it’s centered and visible from all angles (depending on the wreath's size, a longer string or hook may be required). -
Add Subtle Accents
After that, enhance your wreath with small touches like berries, pinecones, or twinkle lights. However, keep it minimal to let your Christmas ornament shine. Our ornaments, with intricate birth flowers or memorial motifs, don’t need much to dazzle. -
Hang and Enjoy
Finally, hang your wreath on a door, above a mantel, or even use it as a dining table centerpiece with a small stand or wreath hanger. Your Christmas ornament will catch the light and instantly draw attention — turning your display into a true holiday conversation starter.

Why Handmade Christmas Ornaments Matter
Handcrafted ornaments like ours add a personal touch that mass-produced pieces can’t match. Moreover, made with love in Texas, our Christmas ornaments are keepsakes designed to be cherished year-round, not just during the holidays.
