Wreath wire frame (second try) - Plywood/Coro Cutouts. Read Only. No more posting. - PlanetChristmas! Forums. Read Only. We've moved to http://talk.planetchristmas.com - The Forums of PlanetChristmas have moved to http://talk.PlanetChristmas.com
Hi everyone, it seams my first post about this went poof for some strange unknown reason, so I am posting it again.
Earlier this year (back in jan/feb) I saw a basic round wire frame that could be used to make your own wreath. It was around 2 to 3 feet (or maybe a bit more) in diameter. The last place I saw one was at Rona (a store like Home Depot). The cost was under $10. Well, I went looking for it this year because the wife now wants a bigger wreath for the front of the house, and Rona said they had no idea what I was talking about (that's what happens to a store with a high employee turnover rate)
Anyway, I even went to HD as well to see if they could help me, and no luck over there.
The question I have is.... does anyone know where I can find this wire frame (for the price I saw it for) in the greater Toronto area?
Btw, the frame looked like this... (sorry about the crude drawing)
Thanks in advance for any help you may give me.

I can tell exactly what this is from your high resolution photo! Seriously though this is just a wreath form. You can find these at places like Garden Ridge, Michael's or Hobby Lobby. They will be with the little wire easels for holding a wreath. (The ones that people use to make mini trees.) I haven't seen them that big. I saw one that was about 18 inches in diameter. I bet you can also get these from florists or a wholesale florist supply place.
Hey, that magnificent pic took me about 30 seconds to draw and upload. (it's kinda hard to be a Picasso when the wife is over your shoulder, asking when you are going to get off the comp to do the dishes)
Btw, thanks for the flowershop insight. I never thought about looking there. I will also try Michael's, but as you said, I don't think they carry them in that size. I knew I should of bought it when I saw it at Rona for that price. (live and learn)
If anyone else has seen them locally in the Toronto area, please let me know.
Btw, for those of you looking out for it, the wire form I saw was a one peice design and not multi. I have already seen the multi in my area, but I don't want to make a wreath that is 4->5+ feet. (too big for where I want to put it)

I know I already posted this but I suggest checking the yellow pages of your local phone book for wholesale Florist suppliers. They typically have the easels and should have wreaths too.
I know you guys are only wanting the wreath ring but Sam's club sells a huge wreath when it gets close to Christmas. (At least they have for the last few years.) It's a complete lighted wreath but you could still modify it. I believe the cost was a little over $50.

Costco sales the big fresh wreaths as well, in 2 different sizes. I plan on buying one for my front door. Then after Christmas, just store the wire fame for my 2008 project.
