Happy Monday! We have had a great morning here. My daughter's friend got her a build a bear gc for her Birthday and we just got back from getting it. We all went to Build a Bear, had lunch and now the girls are playing with their bears. What a wonderful gift!
I put together our fall wreath for the front door last week. I didn't want to have to spend any money on this one but I ended up shelling out $4.00 for the ribbon. Not bad at all. Here is the wreath on our door.
Here is what I did to make the wreath.
I cut strips from an old t-shirt to use for the flowers.
I used a packet of orange kool-aid to dye the t-shirt strips. Yep that's right! I had it on hand and thought why not try it. It worked pretty well. I would have liked the color to be a little darker, but maybe next time I could just use two packets. Oh, and no need to add sugar! What is kinda funny is that, we really don't drink kool-aid. I bought several packs long ago and am really happy I could find a use for them.
I wrapped half the wreath with twine and then made my flowers from the t-shirt strips. I used small black pins to keep them on.
Here is my $4.00 ribbon from Hobby Lobby. Not too impressed with my bow but that's okay. I love the pattern!
There you have it! My mom told me to finish the wreath and go all around with twine. I like the half and half but maybe for later in the season I will change it up with more twine and some pumpkins.
Have a great day everyone!
