Halloween Ribbon Wreath

I love decorating for holidays, all holidays, but Christmas and Halloween are my two favorites. This year I wanted to make something new that would last for at least a few Halloweens to come. I found this idea on pinterest, and had to try it, so I set off to ebay to order some ribbon. Then it came, and i started (luckily I used straight pins to start playing around with) and then realized I needed much more ribbon. I ended up using 10 different ribbons (2 yards of 8 of them, and 3 of 2 more). The wreath base was easy enough to find at the Dollar Tree. I think it turned out so cute, and cant' wait to make one for every holiday!

A quick how-to:

Supplies:
styrophome wreath (mine is 14" but 12" would work just fine)
plain ribbon to wrap around the entire wreath (this is your base) - I used 5 yds of black
20 - 25 yds of festive ribbon depending on how covered you want it, and how big your wreath is

Directions:
1. Wrap the plain ribbon around the wreath so that it is entirely covered. I hot glued both ends, but didnt' need to glue or pin while I was doing it.
2. Cut your festive ribbons into 4.5" strips, then hot glue them into loops, leaving 1/4" opening at the bottom of your loops.
3. Pull the ends of the loops apart, and hot glue them all around the wreath, whatever pattern you'd like. There is no right or wrong.

Easy, right?!
