Wreath projects

wow! Magical! Those are magical! I've never done it before!

I went through and added the photos so people could just see them right off the bat (since Im super lazy I thought someone else might be too. )

These projects are all just gorgeous!

Mara Thx!

i love wreaths...i would have them on every door of my house!!
if i could get off my lazy butt and make them!!

As soon as I saw Charlene Driggs' Ribbon Wreath on the May Arts Blog back in September, I knew I wanted one for my home. Using Charlene's instructions, this wreath was both easy and fun to create and the end result is beautiful. I created this wreath for a Christmas decoration for my home, and living in Florida, I do not experience the snow and ice that decorates the typical winter landscape. I wanted to create something fresh and vibrant to celebrate my non-traditional winter so I decided on bright color palette. I packed up all of my Christmas decorations weeks ago, but decided to leave this wreath hanging on my wall. I think the colors are also perfect for spring.

What a cute wreath !

Thats gorgeous! I have so much ribbon I should totally try this!

Thanks so much Ladies! I used about 30 yards of ribbon to cover my 10-inch wreath. If I make a similar wreath again I would make sure that all my ribbon was at least one-and-one-half inches wide. The thickness of the ribbons I used for my wreath ranged from seven-eighth-inches to one-and-one-half inches. I was not able to fasten the narrower ribbon as tightly to my wreath and some of the ends came loose as I was working on my wreath. I used ball point pins to re-attach the loose ends. In addition, the narrower ribbon does not always completely cover the pins so some of my pins are still visible. I could have used much less ribbon and pins if I chose wider ribbon.
