Want to make a Star Wars BB-8 Christmas wreath without spending hours building the base? This easy DIY version uses two premade wreath forms, Christmas ornaments and ribbon to create BB-8’s familiar shape.
I made a BB-8 Christmas wreath using pool noodles the previous year, but I wanted to try an easier version. When I found Halloween ornaments on clearance, including orange and black bulbs, I knew they’d be perfect for another BB-8 wreath!
I bought a few basic wreaths in different sizes at the dollar store. Last year, I made the BB-8 shape from pool noodles, but these premade wreaths were much easier!
Star Wars BB-8 Wreath Supplies

How to Make a BB-8 Christmas Wreath
Start by wrapping both wreath forms with wide white ribbon. Position the smaller wreath above the larger one to create BB-8’s head and body, then secure them together with white duct tape.
Next, hot glue silver ornaments around both wreaths, mixing in orange and black ornaments to recreate BB-8’s details. Hold each ornament in place briefly while the glue sets. Once everything is attached, add a silver ribbon at the top for hanging.
