Ribbon wreath

I fell in love with Alli Miles' ribbon wreath and had to make one of my own. I used PTI's scarlet jewel, hwaiian shores, new leaf, chocolate chip and fresh snow.  The base is a 20cm polystyrene wreath from Spotlight which I wrapped in brown ribbon first:

    I bet it took you a while, huh. Beautiful wreath. If I wasn't such a hoarder I would totally make one, but using that much ribbon is kind of against my hoarding instinct...lol

  19. Really great work, Anne! Love the wreath! It must have taken ages to make this. But totally worth it! How are you? How's the summer in Auckland? Over here in southern Germany there's snow and rain and it's awfully cold...! Best wishes :)
