Patriotic Ribbon Wreath


My ribbon wreath was inspired by Alison's at Oopsey Daisy (one of my favorite crafty blogs).  I am definitely not motivated enough to find a wire hanger, take it apart, and re-shape it.  I went to the dollar store and picked up a 13-inch wreath form and 6 rolls of wide, wire-edged ribbon. 2 red, 2 blue, 2 white. 

I just cut the ribbon into 12-inch strips and tied knots all around the wreath form, alternating colors and patterns. Double-knots aren't needed since the wire edges hold the knot in place. Fluff out the ends and tie a large loop to hang the finished wreath from.  The whole project only took about 30 minutes and $7!
