Ribbon Wreath~FALL

September 15, 2010

I am so ready for Fall to be here and HOT temperature to be out the door!! Fall decorations are going to start going up around here and I’m starting with a wreath! I was inspired by a wreath I saw over at Tatertots and Jello, but changed it up a bit for myself!

Here’s what you need to get yourself started:

  • 12″ foam wreath (check out your local Dollartree)
  • 3 yards of a wide ribbon
  • loads of ribbon (I went with a Fall theme~orange, yellow, red, green) cut into 4″ peices
  • straight pins
  • any embellishments you want to add

First I wrapped my foam wreath with my wide ribbon. I used 2 straight pins to hold it in place and then wrapped it all the way around, finishing with 2 more straight pins:

Then I made a loop with one piece of ribbon and put a straight pin through it.

Then I added anywhere from 2 to 4 more ribbons and pinned them onto the wreath:

Continue to add bunches of ribbons, mixing your colors and adjusting your loops to cover the front of the wreath:

Take a longer piece of ribbon (about 12″ inches) and pin into place as a hanger:

Finish adding your ribbons and then add some embellishments. I found some plastic acorns at the Dollartree:

I randomly glued them throughout my wreath:

Hang on your door and enjoy!

I love how it turned out and look forward to getting the rest of my Fall decor out!
I plan on trying out another type of ribbon wreath in a Halloween or Christmas theme, check it out at The Long Thread!
