Making a Cute New Wreath

I was in need of a craft day today.
I love little crafts.
Anyway I had one of those foam wreaths.
I wrapped it with brown paper at first thinking it was gonna be super cute.
Not so much...
So next try was fabric.
I didn't want to dig for the glue gun so I tacked everything on, except the buttons, using straight pins.

Cut 2 - 2 1/2 " strips of 
Cut 2 - 2 1/2 " strips of this cute fabric from Pink Chalk Fabrics.
Wrapped it around and pinned in place.
Same with the red ribbon
Aqua buttons glued on with glue that probably wont hold :)




you can see the glue peeking out of the buttons. It's still drying and hopefully will end up clear!
I like Red and Aqua!
And I also like crafting it up with things already in stock at my house!
