Pin Wheel Wreath Revisited

I posted how to make a pinwheel wreath last summer and it got a great response, so I decided to post it again for my newer followers. This is still one of my favorite wreaths. I hope you enjoy it!

Summer Fun Wreath

I can't believe how quickly the last year has flown by. This weekend is Memorial Day and my sweet little Samantha has less than two weeks left of Kindergarten. With Summer quickly approaching I decided to make a summer fun wreath to get into the spirit of things.

Fall Wreath with Chalkboard

It is finally September, so I can go Fall crazy with my crafts. This time last year I was 9 months pregnant and too huge and uncomfortable to make a sandwich, let alone a fall wreath, so I had some catching up to do. :)

I love fall colors. They are so warm, and inviting.

And we can't forget the little chalkboard.

 Hopefully people will read this so they don't wake the baby.

What do you think? It's nothing fancy, but the best part about Fall is that it is fancy all on its own.

Fun Pinwheel Wreath

I went over how to make pinwheels in my last post and it really put me in a summery mood so I decided to make a pinwheel wreath to welcome warmer weather. Hopefully Mother Nature will get the hint. 

Materials needed:

Styrofoam wreath form

Yarn or ribbon to cover your wreath form

Scrapbook paper

Toothpicks--1 per pinwheel

Pony beads and foam beads

Glue

For each pinwheel you will need two 6 inch squares of paper. My wreath has 6 pinwheels.

Glue the squares together so both sides are decorative.

Cut each corner toward the center, leaving a 3/4 inch square in the middle.

Fold half of each corner toward the middle and glue in place. 

Let the glue dry and pierce an even hole through the center using a hole punch or a push pin.

Wrap your wreath with yarn or ribbon.

Insert toothpicks evenly around the front of the wreath and slide one pony bead over each toothpick.

Slide a pinwheel onto each toothpick and cover with a foam bead. 

Hang your wreath on its own or loop a piece of ribbon to hang it.

Enjoy your fun door decor and keep your fingers crossed for nice weather!
