Miss holiday diy's. More ideas seem to emerge.Now it's back to home decor. Once the weather breaks I'll focus on some outdoor diy's too. Decided to give the rag wreath a shot. I used a few styles of ribbon that I got at Micheals over the years for this project. For my wreath form I used a flying ring which is similar to a frisbee toy from Dollar Tree. I gave it two coats of sheepskin chalk paint from Folkart so the green wouldn't show through. Since my ribbon was wide I first had to start off cutting them in half. From there I cut the ribbon into 6 inch strips. Creating a color pattern I tied each strip to the ring form till it was nice and filled. To give the wreath a added touch I added a metal "Welcome" word saying from Dollar Tree to it. I sprayed it in white linen from Rust-Oleum. Initially I was going to glue the metal word to wreath but was able to tuck the ends to the ribbon strips. When my wreath was completed I just felt it was missing something. So downstairs I went on a hunt to find something to incorporate it with. In my boyfriend's tool closet I found a custom reclaimed wood frame he made last year that I used temporarily for a project but then got shoved in the closet. Using wide burlap ribbon I wrapped it around the wreath and then tied it to the top of frame creating a bow. Really suprised at how well this turned out. Once I get the motivation to put Easter away I hope to use this piece on my Summer theme mantle
