Kiss me I'm Irish

My favorite holidays seem to be ones that involve drinking.

I am Irish

I love to drink

Green is my favorite color

did I mention I love to drink?

This year we are going to Savannah for the big St. Patricks Day weekend where they dye the river green, have a huge parade, and basically turn River St. into Bourbon St. for the weekend.

In celebration of my second favorite holiday I made a wreath

I used lots of ribbon

a styrofoam wreath

felt clover stickers

this was all done while watching one episode of the Walking Dead

just fluff and trim as needed when done and Viola!

Valentines Day Ribbon Wreath

 I have been getting crafty lately so I thought I would share what I have been up to.

Supplies:

a bunch of ribbon

scissors

craft wire

needle nose pliers

needle

brad

I bought craft wire at Jo Anns

I took my pliers from my scrapbooking tool kit that I bought at Archivers and used it to bend the craft wire into a heart shape.

Not too big but not too small either.

I cut up a bunch of coordinating colored ribbon about 3 inches long

I started at the bottom of the heart and while watching a movie I tied them onto the wire.

Once finished I tied one long piece of ribbon to the middle of the heart so it could be hung from a door hanger.

I looped it around and used a heart shaped brad to secure it in place.

I trimmed to make sure all the ribbon looked even.

 

Happy Valentines Day!
