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!

ReplyDeleteI love your wreath! What a great idea to loop the ribbon! The colors you used are great too! Very Cute!

ReplyDeleteI'm seriosly considering making one myself. I got some cute Halloween ribbon for .10 at a yard sale the other day (don't you love steals like that!) and have an extra wreath I had planned to use but never did, so now it's just laying around!!
I love how it turned out! It's so cute! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love the wreath! How did you make the hanger to hang it with?
ReplyDeleteI used a long piece of ribbon and a couple of straight pins and pinned them into the backside of the wreath. I hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteI missed reading that part. I see how to do it now. :)

ReplyDeleteI would love to do the ribbon wreath. Are you sure all it took was 3 yards of ribbon? I've seen other blogs that say it took much more.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the total cost to make the wreath?
Maybe my wreath is smaller (about a 9 or 10 inch diameter), I also did not cover the back. Each ribbon piece was 3 to 4 inches long.
ReplyDeleteSo total, how many yards of ribbon did it take to make it without a back at 3-4 inches long per piece?

ReplyDelete[…] Fall is coming, and as I browse Pinterest I am getting more and more excited about decorating my small apartment for the season and its holidays. I thought I’d start by trying my hand at making a ribbon wreath. Since I didn’t actually look for a tutorial, I completely made up my design, and although I’m happy with how my wreath turned out, I don’t recommend you follow my method. Instead, I recommend this step-by-step tutorial. […]
