When I saw this fun wreath over at How Does She? blog, I knew right away I wanted to give it a try. Sometimes making time do get crafts done, can be a little hard. But, when you have a special occasion, like a birthday, you can find the time.
It was time to celebrate, Nick’s (middle son) girlfriend’s Step-Mom’s birthday. While I worked on the Pool Cupcakes, Nick and Brittney worked on the wreath.
All you need is a straw wreath, balloons and floral pins. I bought the pins at Walmart, they were by the silk flowers, but you can probably find them at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, I’m sure.
Just put the balloon in the fold of the pin, and poke it into the wreath. Sorry, I was so busy working on cupcakes, my photo taking was a little lax. You can grab all the detailed instructions, from Missy over at How Does She? blog. And while you are there, take a minute…or 15…to look around, their blog is jammed packed with great ideas! I could spend hours over there!
You can most certainly hang it on your door, which is what you typically would do with a wreath…
Or…where it as a head piece

I saw the balloon wreath idea but I have to say that your son wearing as a hat is the best way this has been displayed yet

I might have to adapt this idea a bit for an upcoming baby shower. I’m thinking bright pink, light pink, and white balloons (it’s a girl!)
Thanks for the creative inspiration!
