I'm new to crafting through ideas on blogs. Even before I discovered the sea of blogs out there, I found this cute idea on about.com. I didn't document the process with photographs since I was new to the idea of a crafting blog, but I have some great photos of the final product. You'll find this craft straight forward and user friendly--with great results.
Here is what you need:
1. Ribbon--45 yards for a wreath 10 inches in diameter. I went to Costco and bought huge spools of buttery gold ribbon in different textures. You can buy different colors/designs or stick with one type of ribbon.
2. Styrofoam wreath--mine is 12 inches
3. hot glue, gorilla glue or tiny pins (about 350 tiny pins for a 10 inch wreath).
Cut the ribbon into 4.5 inch strips, loop and attach to your foam wreath. Keep going until the wreath is covered on the front. Use a long loop of ribbon to attach to the back in order to hang this. It is beautiful and easy! Enjoy your new decoration!
That's beautiful! Such a creative idea ;)
