12 Days of DIY Christmas: Day Six - Wreath

This one should only take you about 5 minutes.


Unfortunately I was still in my crafting zone for this, so no step by step pictures, but you really don't need them....trust me.


I used a styrofoam wreath circle thing from Michaels. I glued the beginning of my ribbon to the back (you could easily just pin it too) and then I wrapped the ribbon around and glued it at the end (again...you could just pin it).






This is where I actually ran out of ribbon and used a scrap on the one spot....





At first, I used one of the bows my mom tied for me on it. I was going to have it lean on my entrance table, but then decided I didn't like that after a week.





So I unwrapped the bow and hung it on the wall in my entrance. I probably should have ironed or straightened the ribbon or something, but like my clothes....I don't iron. I hang them up and over time they iron themselves out. Do you do that?




Anyways...it's straightened out since I've taken this picture.


A perfect minimalist wreath. I love it. I want to make more.


Only cost...styrofoam wreath purchased for 40% off....cheap cheap cheap...
