Blog Swap With Every Crafty Endeavor

I am so excited to be here today at On the Other Side of the Room!

Kendra is such a cute girl and has a darling little blog and it is great to be a part of it! I am always adding things to my "to-do" list just by looking through her ideas. She is just so crafty. I love it.
My name is Amanda and I am the creative mind behind “Every Crafty Endeavor.” I am married to a dashingly handsome, hard-working man named Spencer and we have a little boy named Quinn! I work part time as a writer on a marketing team for an Engineering Company and craft in my “spare time.” I have been a “mommy blogger” for a couple years – and started Every Crafty Endeavor to showcase some crafty ideas that I have made.

Sometimes I come up with ideas on my own and sometimes I see ideas that I love and copy - always giving credit of course! That is what I love about blogging - everyone shares ideas and our homes and babies and lives are much cuter! I love to craft and cook and I have lots of fun ideas and tutorials that I love to share. I am constantly thinking about things to cook, make or sew, accessories that pop, ways to decorate my home and things to photograph.
When visiting my blog - you will find ideas and tutorials for:
Home Decor

Yummy Recipes

Accessories

and a whole lot more!


Today I am going to share a tutorial I have on my blog for


An Americana Wreath!

You will need:




  • a grapevine wreath



  • 7 rolls of ribbon



  • America Sign



  • Scissors


All of my supplies were bought at Dollar Tree for $9+tax!
Creative and Cheap!!





First: Pull the paper tag off the wreath, leaving the plastic tie -


you will use this to hang up your wreath.


Second: Cut up your ribbons to your desired length
Mine were about 12 inches.



Third: Start tying on the ribbon.


Tie on as much as you would like.

Fourth:
Attach the America Sign onto the back. I simply untied one side of the sign and looped it through the plastic tie at the top. Then I re-threaded it, tied it off and nestled the sign a little bit crooked in the wreath. It fits just a little bit tight so it was perfect.




You can also just let it hang down in the front.
Just decide what you like and go for it!

Fifth:
Hang it up and enjoy!





When you have a minute, please stop by and say hello and see what other crafts I have been working on. I am always looking for new ladies to blog swap and fun and fresh ideas to add to my "to-do" list!
Thanks Kendra! and make sure you stop by Every Crafty Endeavor to see what craft Kendra is sharing!
