D.I.Y. Summer Wreath

Hey chick-a-dees!

I cannot believe I haven't posted since Monday!!

I have SO much to blog about but have been super busy... with good things!

In the midst of a painting break on Wednesday, I ran downstairs to work on a cute D.I.Y. wreath idea I came up with while shopping at Michael's on Mothers Day!

Here it goes...

Take one of these plain old foam wreaths; I think I picked this one up at GW for like 50 cents...

Wrap it with your choice of ribbon...

I chose this striped one; just reminded me of fun summer beachy colors; it was $3.99 for the roll at Michaels...

I chose to add these prepainted SUPER cute summer wood shapes that I too found at Michael's for only $0.59 each!!

Love the flip flop one!!

The colors are so cute on these; here is a close up of the ribbon too.

Just wrap the ribbon all the way around the wreath; 

I hot glued it in many spots too so it would hold better...

Crud... I ran out of ribbon!

Whats a girl to do?

SUBSTITUTE!!

I got this pretty pink ribbon from a Valentine giveaway this year; so I just finished it with this...

works right? Hey, its DIY remember!! LOL

I looped the ribbon and tied a bow to be able to hang it...

And here it is!!

Now looking at it, I wish I would have put the flip flops on the bottom to balance out the flower!

But thats me being too critical and a perfectionist!! ;)

What do you think?

Total cost:

$0.50... wreath

$3.99... ribbon

$2.95 for 5 wooden shapes

-------------------

Equals: $7.44... Not TOO Bad!!

And now I have something cute for my front door this summer!

I am inspired to make more and more of these now but for maybe around $5 each!!

Hmmmmm... maybe one of them will end up in a giveaway this summer!?!

Have a great weekend!!

I will be busy serving Dove Chocolates and making some $$$ twice this weekend:)
