HALLOWEEN RIBBON WREATH

It's finally done!  I finally completed the Halloween wreath that I've been working on for a couple weeks.   Here it is.......


I got the idea from these crafty ladies:


After seeing these two wreaths, I just couldn't wait to make one for our house.  So I got started right away.  On The Picky Apple, she kept emphasizing needing more ribbon than you think.  Boy was she right.  I was very thankful for my bow template to help me make 4 1/2 inch cuts.  We have an 18 inch wreath so I started out with 20 pieces of each ribbon.  I then had to go back and make another 16 pieces. Yikes!  I used the entire 5 yd. roll of ribbon!
As you can see, I also used 13 different kinds of ribbon.  I LOVE decorating with pink, orange and black for Halloween.  I bet you also couldn't tell that I LOVE polka dots.
Go check out one of the blogs listed above.  They offer great tutorials about their wreaths.
