Rammer Jammer Roll Tide Wreath

In THIS house we are ALL Alabama ALL the time! Win or Lose we always stand behind our boys! To honor our favorite team I decided to tackle my FIRST! Ribbon Wreath! ...HERE WE GO!!!

So we begin...



MATERIALS:
***ALL RIBBON IS NOT  WIRED***
2 - 2" Thick Rolls of Your Teams Ribbon
2 - 1" Rolls Black Ribbon
2 - Polka Rolls of Ribbon
2 - 1" Rolls of Team Ribbon
1 - 2" Roll of Black Silk Ribbon for Hanging
1 - Pool Noodle (Yes I know it's odd but IT WORKS GREAT FOR CHEAP)
Tape 
AT LEAST TWO Boxes of Straight Pins

I began by cutting off about 10" of the noodle then fold and tape.

Now the OH SO fun task of prepping the ribbon pieces OH THE JOYS!!!
I used the cardboard piece off of the pin box to measure. It came out to about 4" pieces.

Now for the pinning! I tried a couple of different ways BUT I found by laying the piece pretty side down and pinning two pins through one end then folding the other end around to meet the first and secure under the loop works THE BEST.

First I tried randomly pinning ... it didn't work out well! Ninja did get a little interested though! lol

The Collage pinning worked a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!

Day 2 ... If you would like to tackle this in a few hours GOOD LUCK! It is VERY time consuming!!!

Day 3... ALMOST THERE!!! Now when you have about 6" left of pool noodle visible you can STOP!!! Grab your Silk Ribbon unroll the WHOLE roll. Beginning on the outside and working your way inwards wrap the ribbon around and around until the exposed spot is cover. 

Meet the remainder at the distance above the wreath that works best for your door and tie in a double knot. Then make a bow.
WE'VE FINISHED!!!
Thanks for following. Hope you enjoyed!
