This wreath is really easy to make, and all you need is 2 things to make it: some bulbs (I used 92 assorted sizes, the unbreakable kind) and a wire hanger.
Bend the hanger into a circle, and string the bulbs onto it. When it's full, twist the hanger ends together; this may require a pair of pliers.
It won't be perfectly round, but that's part of its charm!
This was another idea from Thrifty Decor Chick at: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2009/11/hardest-easiest-diy-wreath-ever.html.
She recommends hot gluing all the tops to the ornaments before threading them onto the hanger, but if you purchase the bulbs with the tops already glued on, as I did, you can save this step.
Wouldn't this look cute for other holidays, using different color bulbs? I'm thinking red, white, and pink for Valentine's Day; red, white and blue for July 4th; greens for St. Patrick's Day; pastels for Easter, etc. Yet another good reason to stock up during all the after-Christmas sales!
