Yesterday I decided to make a ribbon wreath for the door at the hospital and then we will hang it in Savannah's room after we come home. I looked up some "how-to" tutorials and then BR and I headed off to Hobby Lobby to buy the ribbon and wreath. Let me tell you what, these take A LOT of ribbon! I bought 9 spools of ribbon in different widths but then shortly after I started the wreath I realized that was not going to be near enough. I had already spent $50 on ribbon so buying more was not an option. (Note: If you decide to make one of these, make sure you have your timing right for when Hobby Lobby has a sale on their ribbon. I didn't and that's why I had to spend so much. Ouch!)
Thankfully, since I'm a sewer I had a bunch of fabric downstairs that matched the ribbon I purchased, so I was able to use it as well. I torn it into 2 inch strips about 7-8 inches long and went to town. I now have blisters on my fingers from tying so much ribbon and fabric but it was all worth it because the wreath looks great!
I had purchased the wooden S a while back but had never come up with a way to use it. It's perfect for the inside of the wreath!! I can not wait to see it on the hospital door because that will mean that labor and delivery is over and Savannah will be in my arms!! We're so close!! I can hardly believe it or stand the waiting anymore. Please pray for my patience. It's getting really thin!! Thanks!!
