DIY Back To School Wreath

Materials:

Let’s Make A Back To School Wreath:

1. Gather all of your supplies.

• You may notice that the ribbon in my supply picture is different from the ribbon I actually used!
• I had to switch up the ribbon when I realized the original ribbon wasn’t stiff enough to hold in the bow shape I wanted.
