I posted this just a few days ago, but I also wanted to link up with Tara for her Monthly Monday Made It!
Thanks to my sweet friend, Lauren, I attempted a Pinterest craft for the first time. I am so grateful that Lauren is back in town. She had been teaching in a town a few hours away, but she took a part time PK job here where I am back in October and she is now being moved to full time Kinder for the spring. She is so crafty and I had seen this wreath outside of her classroom. She told me that she would show me how to make one, so we did just that last night.

We spent most of our day in San Antonio yesterday hitting up some teacher stores, Ross, and last but not least, Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby was having 50% off of all ribbon so we knew that we had to make the wreaths. We picked up quite a few rolls there and then Lauren had some already that she had collected.
The best part of these wreaths is that there is no right way to do it. All you need is a Styrofoam wreath (ours were white) and whatever ribbon you would like to use. There is not a certain length that the ribbon has to be except you will want to double knot it around the Styrofoam. In my opinion, you want the pieces of ribbon to be between 15 and 18 inches.
Here is a picture of mine when I was about halfway though making it.
The only thing to be aware of though is that you will make quite a mess since there is no real rhyme or reason to the order that you put the ribbon on the wreath. This is what our table looked like about half way though the project.
I got super excited when I was almost finished and of course I had to take another picture. :)
Here is what the finished wreath looks like.
I added a glittery K to mine to add some extra character. I could not wait to get to school today so I could hang it up on my door. Unfortunately, the next picture does not do it justice, but I am so grateful to have something fun on my door to break up the nasty tan color.
I will be posting the Giveaway winner tomorrow sometime...be sure you check and see if you were the lucky one!
