Summer Wreath

My neighbor has a wreath on her door, and I got jealous. So, of course I wanted to make one of my own instead of buying one. My inspiration was found thru other wonderful bloggers:

I then went to my local craft store, and got ribbon, a green 12 inch styrofoam wreath, tissue paper, floral wire, and pins (to secure ribbon to wreath).

I chose a baby blue ribbon and a sheer lime for an overlay (5 yards will suffice). I wrapped the blue around the wreath using a dab of glue and a pin to secure the ribbon, and then went over the blue ribbon with the sheer lime ribbon, my results looked like this:

Then I made my tissue poms, with the help of the almighty Martha Stewart.

I used the napkin holder version, but instead of putting my flowers on napkins they adorned my lovely wreath.

Then I added a vibrant yellow ribbon as a hanger and finally dressed my front door with this rather energetic wreath.

Enjoy!
