Bring on Spring

Clare at Naptime Novels has inspired me to find my inner craftiness! She is like the queen of all things crafty. Seriously talented.

I decided I would jump on the bandwagon and get started on a spring wreath, in hopes it might come sooner!

I started off with a bunch of bright and "spring" like colors. Cut them about 5 inches long and then bunched them together in groups of 6 or 7. Make a loop out of each ribbon and pin them together and pin on to styrofoam wreath. I wrapped the wreath in a plain but bright color ribbon, securing it with pins. Then you just pin the groups of ribbon along the wreath. The "S" is wire and then just wrapped in ribbon. I did use a hot glue gone to secure the ribbon on. Love that added touch!

EASY PEASY!

Next time I think I will use the 16'' wreath, I used the 14'' here and it would look a little better bigger.

Thanks for the inspiration Clare!

Gettin' Crafty !

Alicia over at A Beautiful Mess just recently posted about some great fall finds which inspired me to start gettin' crafty!

I went for a Halloween theme although I was really trying to go more fall. But my Micheal's was having a great sale on Halloween ribbon so I stocked up! They actually did not have a lot of "fall" like ribbon. So we might have a Halloween wreath up tell after Thanksgiving.

This project was super easy and I found it quite relaxing, I think its because I just love working with ribbon. I will definitely be making more of these for each season or holiday.

Thanks Alicia...this project added an extra smile to my day!
