Not to long ago, I saw a wreath crafted on Pinterest (at least I think it was Pinterest). Anyway, it was a Thankful Wreath. When I saw it, I thought, that would be a good activity for Misses and I for Thanksgiving and to reiterate gratefulness.
So I took myself over the the craft section of the store. I do not frequent this area, but I found the materials needed to complete the wreath.
Materials:
1. Wreath foam form
2. Ribbon in the color of your choice
3. Straight pins
4. Construction paper
After I got all the things we needed, I set forth to wrap the ribbon around the form. One spool was not enough, but I had some fabric scraps and that covered the rest. Then I drew little leaves on the construction paper. After I drew the leaves, Misses and I started saying all the things we were thankful for. I wrote all the responses on the leaves; we both cut the leaves out. Next, I used the straight pins to hold the leaves on the wreath. They are easily pushed into the form and add alittle silver pop. Finally, we hung the wreath in our dining room.
I wish I would have thought to take a pic of the finished product, but I didn't. Using the pins also allows for use year after year.
