{Burlap Ribbon} Spring Wreath


Friend, allow me to share something with you.

Wreaths are so simple to make.

If you are currently buying them and spending $40 or more on your wreaths, please stop now.

This wreath was made in under and hour and under $20. {And only minor hot glue gun burns}
Begin by unraveling one whole roll of your ribbon.  I find it easier to work with off the spool.  {And my mind immediately did a "how could I use that spool"}
I like to work with one kind of ribbon at a time.  That way I can get them evenly spaced throughout the wreath.  I start by making three "bubbles".  One in each section.
I trim off the end and hot glue the ribbon to the wreath form.  I also secure any of the bubbles with glue, if they need it.  This ribbon was fairly stiff and didn't need much extra gluing.
Now after this I got on a roll and in my craft zone and completely forgot about taking pictures.  Kind of nice but not great for the blog.
I hot glued on a premade chalkboard and did a quick message (not working~still winter).
Ta-da!  No more buying wreaths.  Craft therapy.  Make a wreath.
