Rag Wreath

Just in time for Memorial Day, I finished my red, white, and blue rag wreath. Using a metal ring and scraps from countless other projects, I finished this in about an hour.

I tore all of the material in approximately 2" strips and cut the strips about 3" long.  Then I tied the pieces until the wreath was complete.

A Tale of Two Wreaths

So here is wreath #2...still loving the style and how the ribbons look, but I have to say I still love my first wreath more.  This wreath didn't take nearly as much time or ribbon, but I think that the smaller ribbon makes it!

Here's a quick run-down of supplies, cost, and time...

Ribbon Wreath

I LOVE this wreath!! I'm off on spring break and was in the mood for a little creativity. I was on facebook and saw a blog someone else had commented on, and well one blog led to another and I found this wreath...
How adorable it that! Tatertots and Jello is my new favorite place to visit for all things crafty and reinvented and recycled and inspiring. It's one of those blogs that's new everyday, sometimes multiple times during the day. Oh I could spend hour upon hour blog hopping and just dreaming of the day I have the time! So, since I had the time this week I decided to make an Easter wreath. Of course like most things I create, I needed more material than required and more time than I expected. BUT...I am in love with my wreath! The picture here hanging on my navy front door doesn't even do it justice... then as I finished it up and was checking blogs I found this from She's {Kinda} Crafty, another new favorite place for inspiration!

Currently I'm creating a second wreath...Hobby Lobby was having a 50% off ribbon sale this week...DANGEROUS! It looks very similar to this one here. I just can't wait to see how it turns out! I'll keep you posted.
