Valentine's Ribbon Wreath

A few weeks ago I was on Pinterest and saw the cutest ribbon wreath that someone had made for her door at work. My original thought was to make one for the spring, but I changed my mind. I decided it would be cuter to make one for Valentine's!! I am so happy I changed my mind.

What you will need to make it:

-Styrofoam wreath: any size you desire

-Different sizes and styles of ribbon. However many you would like to put on depends on how many rolls you will need.

OPTIONAL:

-felt or fabric

-hot glue gun

How you will make it:

If you decided to using the felt/fabric you will follow these steps first. 

Since some of my ribbons were see through I thought it would be best to cover the wreath in felt first. I cut out 3 strips of white felt and hot glued it onto the wreath. This way the yucky green color wouldn't show through the see through ribbons. 

When I got that all done I got my widest ribbon out first and measure how long I wanted it to be. I chose 19". (Later on I had to cut down some of the ribbons, but I did this length for all of them to begin with.)

I cut 4 strips of my wide one and put those on the wreath first making a "t" on it. This way you make sure those are all even and then you just have to work with little quarter sections. Much easier for me anyway!!

Then I filled in the rest with my other ribbons!! When I got them all one I went around and cut some of them down to make it even all the way around the wreath.

Lastly, I cut a strip of black ribbon and hot glued it to the back of the wreath so I can hang it up.

Heres what it look like all done...

I absolutely LOVE it!!! So fun for Valentine's!

Dollar Store Valentine's Frames

Since discovering that the Dollar Store is getting more and more items in there than long ago, I have found a new love to look there for crafts. I can't believe all that they have and so much cheaper then the craft stores. I thought it would be cute to get some small frames and make a Valentine's Decor. The best part is...I can use this for other holidays too!! I have thought about putting "LUCK" in them for next month!! 

These frames were pretty cute! I was very impressed with my find!! 

How I Made Them:

All I did was cut down some cute Valentine's scrapbook paper to fit the frames and then in black vinyl I cut out X  O  X  O with my cricut and stuck them onto the paper. Lastly, I put the paper back in the frame. Super easy and CHEAP!!! 

Here is what they look like:

I put them up on the mantel. Here is the full view of that:

Here are some better pictures of the paper I used:

They are just so fun!!! Love how they turned out!

I was just thinking the other day that I need to make my kids fleece blankets. This is so cute to add a fun edge to the blanket instead of just leaving it cut in strips or tying knots. It looks really easy too! I am going to try this out when I get the fabric for their blankets.
