Rag Ribbon Wreath

I've been pining over the rag ribbon wreaths on Pinterest for a while now, but it wasn't until yesterday that I decided it was time to make my own. One of my fav bloggers AP, was tweeting about making one for her momma, and then making one for a giveaway on her blog. I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands since I couldn't get her to commit to rigging the giveaway so I'd win it ;) So yesterday, I text my friend Ashley and said "Let's get our craft on tonight, I have a project for us!" She made the most adorable wreath with yarn and felt. It might be one of my next wreath making projects! 


I had pinned this wreath to Pinterest, and was lusting after the colors, but once I saw AP's fall wreath, I knew that's what I should make!

 LOVE these colors. I must make something similar for next Spring/Summer.

AP's fall wreath. 


Here is my wreath (pardon my shiesty cell phone pic)

Mine is more of a brown/orange/green animal print theme. I used brown and white zebra print ribbon, and brown and tan giraffe ribbon. 


Now for the best part, here is a link to AP's awesome tutorial. These really are fairly simple, just time consuming with cutting and tying all the ribbon. If you're thinking about making one, you really should give it a shot. I LOVE how mine turned out. You don't have to put a bow or any other decor on it (I spray painted a chipboard 'H' for mine), you could always leave it plain if you'd like. Either way I think they're so fun! I definitely think my girlfriends and I will be having another wreath crafting night SOON!! 

P.S. Here is Ashley's yarn/felt flower wreath... The photo was taken with her phone so you can't tell the colors. It is a mustard yellow color (great for fall), and then grey, cream and red flowers, with cream lace as the hanger. Here is a tutorial that she used. 

P.P.S. Pinterest is a sickness, and I'm obsessed! I think I'll probably end up with a wreath for EVERY door in our house ;)
