Grosgrain Ribbon Wreath
I'm an aunt-to-be and I refuse to welcome my precious nephew into the world with anything less than an extravagant door decoration at the hospital! This pinterest inspired project was so fun and easy!
You will need:
-1 Floral Foam Wreath
-1 pack 1.75" of Floral Pins
-At least 20 feet of ribbon to wrap wreath with initially (covering floral foam). -Additional 20 feet for bows to cover entire front and sides of wreath. I bought way more than I needed but I wanted an assortment of colors/patterns. The ribbon shown will probably make 2-3 wreaths.
-Wreath Hanger
-Hot Glue Gun
-Sharp Gingher Scissors
1.) Cover foam wreath by wrapping ribbon around it and tucking the end under. Pin end in place with floral pins.
2.) Cut about 10, 6 to 8 inch pieces of ribbon from different rolls.
3.) Pinch the center together of one ribbon piece and push floral pin over bunched section. Push pin and ribbon down into floral foam, making a bow tie shape.
4.) Continue placing bows around the wreath until full. Save smallest width ribbon for last and fill in holes.
5.) I hot glued a wooden 'It's A Boy' charm and a blank piece of chip board to use later for Weight and Length after he is born!
6.) Keep wreath in car at all times from 37 weeks on until nephew arrives! Rush to hospital and hang it on the door to announce his entry into the world! :)
Happy Crafting!
