Football Wreath {Tutorial}

It's Football Season.

I'm not much for football, but, this year I seem to be a little more interested than last year.  I'm happy with that.  So I decided to make a new football wreath to help get me in the mood a little more.

 

Here is what I used:

Burlap

Paper bags

Ribbon

Paint

Brown fabric (for lining)

 

First, I cut two pieces of burlap, and one piece of lining.  I made a lining piece to go behind the front piece of the burlap, so that you weren't able to see the paper bag.

 

I started painting with the dark brown to make the football.  I just left the spots for the white sides, and T blank.



I added the white stripes, and the T.  It takes a few coats to get the burlap to be covered well.

Then I stapled the front and back together.  I put the "lining" piece behind the front piece of burlap, and crinkled up the brown paper bags and slid them inside.

Next, I stapled the ribbon on the back, at the top.

And I called it done.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  And so is the husband.

 

 

Thanks for reading. 

 

I like to party at these awesome places.
