Another Wreath

Clothes pin wreath using Domestic Goddess DSP. 

I LOVE this DSP, the colors are perfect! I originally intended to hang this on my front door but after Lauren mentioned that it matches the frames I made for the kitchen I decided it would go better in there. Where in the kitchen? I have no idea but I'll figure it out. 

It was very easy to make, the base was made with cardboard and the DSP was adhered on all of it with Mod Podge. I'm throwing around ideas of what to place in the middle, just haven't decided yet.

Now I need to make another wreath for the front door! LOL. It has been suggested that I might need a 'wreath intervention'.....I disagree ;)

I know I wrote down the info on where I got the idea for this wreath but I cannot find it. I promise to add it as soon as I find it.

Ribbon Wreath

A while ago I found this link showing how to weave one really long piece of ribbon into a cool looking wreath shape. It's amazingly easy, just make sure you have a lot of ribbon!  The video shows it being done to a much thinner piece of ribbon but I wanted to try it on my fave Baja Breeze and since I hoard all of it, I happened to have plenty to play with! I did also try it out on the 1/4" grosgrain ribbon as well as the satin ribbon. Overall the grosgrain was the easiest to manage, partly because of it's width but I also think the texture of the ribbon helped keep it together properly and not slide around too much. I don't recommend the satin ribbon, it was too slippery and wouldn't stay in place and when I took it apart it had creases in it which I can't stand in my satin ribbon. The great thing is that if you finish and decide that you don't like the way it looks, you can take it apart and can still use the ribbon for something else instead of it just being wasted.
