Boo-tiful DIY Halloween Decor

 

Yes, I am still in Halloween decorating mode. I picked these metal letters up a couple of months ago and have been waiting to use them. This Boo-tiful display is perfect for my entry table.  

Supplies:

• Gwen Studio Grosgrain Ribbons in various widths and colors
• Hot Glue Gun
• Flowers
• Wire

 I made each bow with a wider ribbon in back and two narrow ribbons on top of it. 

 

Gwen Studios Ribbons are available at your local Wal-Mart store 

and online at Wal-Mart and Michael's.

Spring Floral Hoop

 

Mother's day is coming up and I am always on the lookout for fun porch decor for my mom. She has a very large porch on her victorian home. She spends a lot of time porch sitting and relaxing. I hope she loves this spring floral hoop. She gets a nice breeze blowing across the porch so I think this will be perfect. 

Supplies:

• Gwen Studios Ribbon 
• Pink Grosgrain 7/8 inch
• Lavender Grosgrain 1 1/2 inch
  
• Pastel Grosgrain 3/8 inch pack
• Hot Pink Grosgrain 7/8 inch
  
• 10 inch wood embroidery hoop
• Low Temp Glue Gun and glue sticks
• Paper flowers in various styles

 

I cut lengths of ribbon 24 inches long from a all the rolls, between 3 and 6 each. Using low temp glue - because I will get it on my fingers every single time- I started layering the ribbons on the hoop. 

 

Once the ribbons were all in place I trimmed the tops of the ribbons close to the hoop. I didn't worry about getting them perfectly even because I knew that the flowers would hide the edge. 

 

 I dug through my supply of flowers and pulled out a bunch of spring pastel colors. I just grabbed a mix of small and large flowers and some brads. I love layering Prima flowers! I like to stack an assortment and then attach them with a brad. Once all that was done I adhered a line of flowers to extend past the ribbons on both sides.
