How to make a team spirit wreath!


This can only be given as gifts to freinds and family (or yourself), because otherwise you are infringing on copyright laws!

(Note - The picture is of a doggie ribbon wreath instead of a team spirit wreath. The exact same techniques were used though in this piece.)


Materials:
1 styrofoam face wreath
25 yards of satin and or grosgrain ribbon in the team colors
Any little things you can find with the team logo or related to the sport (little helmets, coasters with the logo, foam footballs etc.)
Hot Glue
Super Glue or Gorilla Glue

Screwdriver or Small Scissors

1. Cut the ribbon in about 4" long pieces. I do not measure. Wrap the ribbon around your hand and cut at both sides of your hand using good scissors. Repeat with the other ribbons.
2. Grab your scissors or screwdriver.

3. Grab your handy dandy glue gun.

4. To insert ribbon into foam, apply a dot of hot glue on center of ribbon strip, place strip on wreath and use scissors or screwdriver to poke center of strip into foam. Repeat until full.

5. Using your superglue or gorilla glue, attach any emblishments like helmet or logos.

6. Hang with pride!
