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!

So Many Crafts So Little Time

There are SO many things that I would like to do! Painting projects, paper crafts, and even embroidery but I just don't have enough hours in the day. Not to mention that I can't get to my desk right now due to the closing of LadyBugz Boutique. Everything at the store had to come home and I'm still trying to get boxes put away. But, since I can't create at the moment, I thought I would share some of the places I get my inspiration.
