A Wreath for Roger


 I wanted to make a wreath for Susan to have when Roger is born. I am not the most creative person but I thought I would give it a try. I looked at several on Pinterest and combined two. I liked the burlap and ribbon but decided to add the wooden letter.

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the supplies I needed. I found the burlap in the Christmas ribbon section. I picked up some extra blue and brown ribbon as well. I had a good bit in my stash, but wanted to be sure that I would have enough to make it nice and full.

It wasn't hard at all. I wrapped the foam wreath with burlap and then added the ribbon so it would be half way around. I didn't measure the ribbon because I found that the length would be determined by the type of ribbon. Hope that makes sense. I then painted and added the R. I am pleased for this to be my first try.

Have a great weekend!

Love the wreath! The burlap and blue ribbons are a great combination for a little boy.
