I found this adorable burlap ribbon at Walmart and knew I needed to make something with it.
I've been updating some things I've made in the past with my new class colors, two years ago I did green and pink, last year I did red/blue/green/yellow. Four colors was to many but two kind of restricted what I could do so this year I'm going with just red/blue/green. So far I love it and can't wait to see everything up in my classroom!Anyway I had a wreath I made in green and pink and decided to update with the new ribbon, here's how it turned out...
Honestly it took me several tries to figure out how I wanted to do this. I wrapped the wreath first but it didn't look great, and I couldn't get all three colors in like I wanted. Then I tried gathering the ribbon the way I had with regular ribbon in the past, but it didn't work well with the burlap. Finally I decided to just make little loops and glue them around the wreath. I added the bird to match the birds I"m using in my classroom. I may add "welcome" across the top but I've got to find some lettering I like!I think I'm going to go back and get more ribbon I think it would make great border for my bulletin boards!
I hope you can use these! Click on the picture to download them!

ReplyDeleteI have had those same colors for the last few years. It makes everything homey. :) Thank you so much for the freebie, I will definitely be able to use them!
ReplyDeleteGonna have to make a run to Walmart tomorrow. The blue and green go great with my polka dot themed classroom!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath looks awesome! I love the folding action happening :)

I just love the way your wreath turned out, Amy. And of course I love that you added the little bird to it also.
