Ribbon wreaths have been popping up all over Pinterest lately. I made this ribbon wreath about a month ago for the start of football season. I never got around to post it, which is why it's just coming to you now. There are tons of tutorials out there for ribbon wreaths. I didn't use just one, I searched for a while and used bits and pieces from many tutorials. The difference between mine and many others is that I didn't use as much ribbon. My pieces are wide and thick. Doing it this way saved me money on ribbon and time. For this wreath I used 2 spools of the yellow and green satin ribbon and 1 spool of the football ribbon. I cut everything in 3-4inch pieces. Then, I hot glued the ends together to form a circle. After the glue was dried, I pinned them onto my styrofoam wreath. I used a lot of little pins for this project. I also tried my best to line up the ribbon in rows, it made it easier to pin.
About 2 weeks after I hung this on my front door, I decided it needed more. So I painted wooden letters green, hot glued them to a wooden football (already painted) and glued the football to leftover ribbon. GO BULLS!
Happy Football Season!
