Fourth of July Door Wreath Tutorial

MATERIALS:

• 1 brass ring (I used a 14" ring)
• 3 yards nylon netting (I used 1 yard of each color-red, white, and blue)
• 34 feet of curling ribbon (I used a metallic ribbon to add a little sparkle)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut your nylon netting into 6 inch squares.
2. Cut your curling ribbon into 12 inch lengths.
3. Tie netting and ribbon onto brass ring until full.
4. Add a hangar of your choice (I used a leftover strip of netting).

Simple as that - You're done!

PROJECT NOTES:

• Tulle may be used instead of netting, but since my wreath was going outside, I thought the netting would hold up better.  You could also use ribbons, fabric, bandanas, etc.
• Before tying netting to brass ring, I folded it in half three times so that I had a 6 inch x .5 inch strip to work with.  You can then fluff the ends after you tie it to the ring. 
• This whole project cost less than $15!  And if I had planned ahead, I could have gotten my materials on sale making it even cheaper!

I'd love to see your creations so please leave me a link!

Spring cards

Today, I pulled out the paper crafts! My goal was to make 5 spring cards today. I gathered my supplies - stamps, punches, paper, trimmer, ink, markers, adhesive...printed out my inspiration...planned my projects...and got started. Unfortunately, I was only able to complete one card before it was time to go meet the school bus. Which prompted me to think that maybe digital cardmaking is the way to go! LOL

Anyway, here is today's spring card. And since I didn't put my supplies away, maybe I will have the time to make the rest of them tomorrow. Enjoy!
