So when we had the dates for when my hubby, kids, and I would be in Slidell, my mom and I devised a plan to do a craft together! She found this really cute ribbon wreath tutorial online, so we headed to Hobby Lobby the first weekend we were there. It ended up taking 2 nights on different weekends to do it, but it was alot of fun. And they turned out really cute!
What you need:
45 yards of ribbon (I used 5 yards of 9 different ribbons)
straight pins
a ruler
styrofoam wreath (mine is 10 inches)
scissors
*patience
*a great Momma to do this with..sorry mine's taken! ;)
We started fairly late, after everyone else had gone to bed.
After much cutting, we started looping and pinning..no real method to it,
just loop and pin!
My mother is super mom! She's good at it all!
Here they are halfway through the process, before we hit the hay..
Came back the next weekend and worked on them some more!
It ended up being a really good way to focus on something after what happened with Cosmo.
Here it is almost done!
Voila!
We both had a few more things to do to it.
Like realize that we should put more ribbon on the back being that we both have glass doors!
:)
Aren't they beautiful though?
Here's mine on my yellow wall. I keep forgetting to buy another wreath hanger,
and wanted to blog about this, so I just took a quick pick.
Love the colors, and just in time for St. Patty's Day!
And here it is on my fireplace! Love it!

Awee...Erin they turned out so cute! I saw one sort of like this one except they used smaller ribbon, but I like yours way better with the wider ribbon! Is it just for St. Patty's Day or for spring?
This turned out so cute! Great job. I'm linking it up on my Friday Faves. :) I was going to do a post about wreaths anyways- - how random is that! Perfect timing.
Love,
Sarah
This is soooo cute! I love all the ribbon, this wreath makes me smile!
Love it and it is fun to do this theme on balls at Valentines day to make kissing balls.

The ribbon colours are pretty and I think it is great that you were able to work with your mom making them. I agree that the wreaths could work for other holidays too, just by using different ribbon colours.
So great! I found you on New Friend Friday! Great blog- love the "p" activities!

Super cute wreath! I love that you and your mom made them together. Great memories!
God's blessings,
Sarah :D
That turned out so beautiful! Thanks for linking up this week
I love how this turned out!! All of the colors look so gorgeous together. So fun for St Patty's Day too. Thank you for sharing this with us at Spring has Sprung at Fun to Craft.
That is so freakin' cute...don't you love moms...:)
This is so cute!! I think curling all that ribbon would drive me nuts, but it totally is worth it in the end. Great job!
Stopping over from Girl Creative. This is gorgeous. Love your wreaths. But I am probably not patient enough to make one myself ;-)
Those are so cute!! :)
That is really cute!! I keep seeing all of you crafty people making these awesome wreaths. I totally need to give it a try. This one looks easy enough - even I should be able to do it.
Super cute! I recently made a ribbon wreath, but I just tied my ribbon to the wreath. I LOVE your loops! Great Idea!
They look lovely. And how wonderful that you can do a project like this with your mother. Cherish that!
Aw, I miss my mom! Love the wreath. The color is perfect. I love how it's a new sew/glue/staple project! Very easy and very cute! Great job!
You and your mom did a great job!!!! They look super cute!
your wreaths turned out great, and I love that you did this project with your mom!
Thank you everyone! It really was fun to make, and not too time consuming at all! It's a great thing to do and just have a nice conversation with the person you're doing it with, or in my case, lots of laughs! That's how me and my mom always are together. :)
If you do it, please let me know, I'd love to see!!
That wreath is adorable and seems so easy! My BFF & I run a "Mom's Craft Night Out" for a bunch of me and my friends. We get together and craft once a month and I'm in charge of the craft. They are not that crafty but I'm sure they an pull this one off! If you are interested in some of our crafts, you can check out the link on my blog labeled Mom's Craft Night Out.
This is adorable! My mom is coming to visit at the end of the month and I can't wait to craft with her.
Feel free to stop by my blog and enter my necklace giveaway!
How cute...luv your ribbon colors!
Hope you have a FUN day!
Blessings,
Linda

This turned out great! It seems like you and your mom had fun!! I hope you don't mind if I borrower (steal).LOL this idea... I want to do something like this and put it on a mirror I have, so it would be much smaller.

Thanks!

What a great idea!!! I need more ideas for wreaths..I am so boring sometimes LOL...Thank you for sharing!
Such a lovely wreath! Now I know what to do with all that ribbon I've got stashed away!
Love it even more that you did this with your mom. Very sweet!
Hello from Central Brittany, France! I'm visiting from Just-A-Girl's Wednesday Block Party thingy.
I just LOVE this idea! I wonder if you should possibly half-wrap the backside of the wreath in a coordinating colour fabric, maybe hot glue it on, so that it will be pretty from the back side? It would take less ribbon to do it that way.
I can see doing this for Easter in pastels (next year!) with some little Easter eggs hanging, and in Autumn with various bits like moss, ivy, fall leaves, red berries, it's just so versatile! Thank you for posting this!
I featured this at Life As Lori if you would like to come by and grab the I was featured button please do! Thanks for sharing this idea at the Spring/Easter Party! Don't forget to join me for another wonderful Get Your Craft On Thursday party starting tonight! Lori

Great Wreath! I haven't seen a tutorial for a wreath quiet like that. How long are the strips that you cut to loop? ...and Do you loop the ribbon in a circle or circle it up a couple of times?
What a great wreath, thanks for sharing it!
