I currently have this wreath hanging on our front door due to its cheerfulness and "spring look". Here is a close up of my ribbon wreath:
I was "pinspired" by this pin, and utilized her tutorial:
I did a FUN little twist by personalizing my wreath with an "L" I painted and decorated:
Materials needed for this wreath:
- Wreath form (I used one I purchased from the Dollar Tree for $1)
- Ribbons (I used 5 different kinds of ribbon for this wreath...this is a way to add personality and colors of your choice)
- Straight Pins
- Fabric (to cover the wreath form...I used one that coordinated with my chosen ribbons) I pinned it around the form with some of the straight pins.
Each of the ribbons were cut about 4 inch long. I stacked them in stacks, so that I used each the same amount of times...and, so that I could scatter the ribbons equally throughout the wreath. The ribbon loop is created by putting the two ends together, and then I put the pin through the end...finding open spaces in the wreath to place each ribbon:
Here is a back view of the wreath and side view of the wreath:
The pins don't have to go all the way around the wreath...because they won't be shown. I LOVE the finished look:
How about you...how do you like the "ribbon wreath"? What have you been inspired by lately?
