Christmas Wreath {flashback}

Our Christmas decorations are up and Christmas music is taking over our house!
My Christmas Wreath is on the door and just in case you missed it last year...
... here is the tutorial!
Take a plain grapevine wreath:


Start tying ribbons into knots onto the wreath. 


Then add more sizes and lengths (Look familiar? I used the left over ribbon from my Christmas Ribbon Garland!) until you get the "look" you want!


For the "P", I got a plain wooden letter from Hobby Lobby and spray painted it red. It was a little plain for me, so I decided to get some lime green paint and put polka dots on it!


The eraser of a pencil makes the perfect dots (a little trick I have used for years!)!


...keep "dotting!"


Then I decided it needed a little "sparkle," so I put green glitter onto the "P!" (make sure your "dot" paint is still wet so the glitter will stick!)


And then...



A cute "P" for my Christmas Wreath!

It got late and I got tired so I don't have picture for the next part, but I think you can handle it! I added red and green ornaments on the wreath to fill in the gaps that the ribbon didn't quite cover. I tied the ornaments into the wreath and then put a tiny dot of hot glue where the ornament touched the wreath to hold it into place. This is what it ended up looking like:


Yay!
That was easy, right?!

Now hang that super cute Christmas Wreath on your door!

Merry Christmas!
