Birthday Balloon Wreath


This was so much fun to make, so simple and such a rewarding final product!  Don't you just want to smile looking at that wreath???

We have a little birthday girl, so we're getting into party mode!  We also have first day of kindergarten, a doctor's appointment, dental appointments and a preschool open house tomorrow.  Yikes!  Happy birthday, baby.  :-/


The supplies you need are:  A straw wreath, lots of balloons, floral pins, and some ribbons stuck here and there, if you'd like.


Leave the wreath in its plastic so that you don't make a mess with the straw.  The wreath pictured is an 18-in wreath, which fills my front door nicely...but next time, I would consider a smaller wreath.  :-)  Lots and lots of pinning, which is kind of a mindless activity to do while watching Star Trek The Next Generation.  Did I just say that?  ;-)

Make sure to cover the tip of the floral pin with the balloon...I kind of just looped the balloon over as if I was tying it on.  You can pin multiple small balloons at one time, but found one large balloon per pin looked nice.


As always, I had help at hand.
