Regardless that spring is less that two weeks away, at least by the calendar, it’s still snowing where I live. So the next several posts are all about how to jump start spring.
In northern New England, Christmas decorations stay up until almost Easter. I think this is how we cope with our very long winters, where you can just as easily have a “white” Easter as a “white” Christmas. So if you still have Christmas wreath lying around, that used a Styrofoam wreath form, remove the greenery and think spring. Pick ribbons that are light and airy and have different widths and textures. Cut about 41/2 inches of ribbon and make a loop. Using a pin, pin the two ends together and stick it into the form. If you are using wire ribbon, you can bend it into all sorts of shape. Add other small items that remind you of spring. Check out the following video for more How To help.
You can also use Curly Ribbon to make a Wreath. This is simply a matter of stapling curling ribbon to a Styrofoam form and curl away. Check out DIY Curly Ribbon Wreath for more instructions. You might try tying the curling ribbon around pieces of an ivy wreath. The more ribbon you add, and curl, the easier it is to hide the form you used.
