My "Pinterest" Wreath Attempt

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the holidays. So. I got on the pinterest and blog world cool kid train and tried my hand at a wreath. How hard could they be?


The style I tried?


~You get ribbon (Michael's has rolls for 99 cents) and cut all the ribbon into strips about 6 inches long.

~Then, you just take your wreath and tie the ribbon around it in a pattern.


Ran out of ribbon halfway around the wreath. Back to the store I went, and of course they didn't have the exact same ribbon. So there are some differences halfway if you look closely ;) But who can tell, right? Orange is orange :)


The "real" pinterest wreath was supposed to face the other way. Mine? Looked like a wet rat from that direction. So I decided to flip it over :)


I finished making it at Drew's, he politely declined me leaving it at his house.

My mom said I couldn't put it anywhere in her house.

So, I told someone at work I would bring it for them. She looked at it, looked at me, and then said, "Sure yeah, I'll take it. I'm sure Aaron (HER SIX YEAR OLD SON) would love to play with it!" hahahaha. Needless to say, perhaps wreaths will not be my claim to fame? :)
