DIY Fiesta Wreath

Now that it's back to school time I need to focus on getting my room ready! As a Spanish teacher, I thought making a fiesta wreath for my door was a great idea!

Materials:
1 foam wreath form
5-6 different types of colorful ribbon (Ribbon can be expensive. I waited until it was 50% off at Hobby Lobby to purchase mine.)
3-5 Spanish inspired chochkys (I found an adorable mini sombrero and mini piñata at Hobby Lobby for under $5 each.) I had a maraca and castanets lying around already.)
hot glue and gun
20 or so fake flowers (in colors that go with your ribbons)
1 package colorful tissue paper (I get mine at the dollar tree.)

Directions: 
1. Make several tissue paper flowers. You can follow this tutorial. I layered different colors to make mine more fun. I also made two sizes. A large and a small so I could fill in the wreath properly. I also varied the type of cuts that I made. Some had a rounded edge and some were pointed.
2. Start glueing! I chose to place my four big ones first and then decided where to place my other items based on that.

3. Then I slowly added the other items (smaller tissue paper flowers, fake flowers, maraca, piñata, castanets and sombrero) by filling in the gaps. I tried to keep it mostly symmetrical in regards to the flowers and other items. I also glued some flowers inside each tissue paper flower for fun.

4. To finish, I flipped it over and glued strips of ribbon (pretty side facing out) to the bottom of the wreath. I cut them to different lengths but all of them were long in the style of a fiesta wreath.
5. To hang it you can use a regular wreath hanger or wrap a ribbon around the top with hot glue and then hang from the ribbon. I have mine with a ribbon and then placed a hook upside down on the inside of my door and tied the ribbon to it. It works wonderfully.
I loved it so much that I made more flowers and placed them around the inside of my classroom door. It's very festive!
