Game Day Burlap & Ribbon Wreath

I got a little crafty last week and made this wreath. My inspiration came from Etsy via Pinterest and retails for $65. I was able to make it for about $25 and had ribbon leftover. Just hit up Hobby Lobby when all the ribbon is 50% off. It was really pretty easy. I think it turned out pretty well, except for the horrid shade of orange and the phrase "hook 'em" which makes me gag a little. The family loves their burnt orange & Longhorns. I do not. will one day have my own, made with crimson & cream...Boomer Sooner! 

Supplies:

• Wire wreath frame 
• Burlap ribbon (I like the wired kind)
• Wide ribbon for hanging
• Accent ribbon of choice 
• Small wooden plaque thing (they come in packs of 2 at Hobby Lobby)
• Wooden football
• Acrylic paint of choice
• Scissors
• Paintbrushes
• Good glue
• Stapler 

Process:

• Weave the burlap ribbon in-and-out of the wreath frame. Don't worry about making it super tight. 
• Cut pieces of accent ribbon and tie them on. As many as you want. There's really no technical way of doing it. 
• For the football, I used a Sharpie to write with and used paint to do the circle things around the edge (kind of hard to see in the pic).
• For the rectangle, I painted it my main color. Then I used white paint for the letters, which have little black paint accents and burnt orange polka dots. I basically just free-handed it.
• I used Gorilla glue to attach the football to the rectangle. 
• I tied a wide white ribbon through the back of the wreath frame, leaving a loop at the top for hanging and a little extra hanging out the bottom.
• I used a normal stapler to attach the sign to the ribbon. 

Ta-da!
