Crafty Mood...

Sometimes I get in crafty moods and I just can't stop. When I start something I HAVE to finish it that day! Well, this birthday balloon wreath is the exception!! It took me 2 weeks to make this baby! I kept on running out of balloons or greening pins (how you attach the balloons to the wreath), so I would have to go back to the store! Most times I would work on it while Emily was napping, so I couldn't just get up and leave.

This is what I used:

1 straw 16" wreath

400 balloons

400 greening pins

I made it very full and big! I like it, but you can use a lot less balloons/greening pins and it will look just fine. The "E" is a spray painted cardboard letter that we used on her highchair at her 1st birthday party.

I purchased the wreath at Michaels, the balloons at DollarTree (a lot cheaper), the greening pins at Wal-Mart (cheaper too) and the "E" at Hobby Lobby. This is another reason it took me so long to make, I had to go to all of these places!! :)
