Birthday Balloon Wreath

I found this at http://creativehomemakers.blogspot.com

I thought this was so cute!!! See my notes and picture at the bottom of the page!!

And I always put out our Birthday Wreath on the front door so everyone else knows also.

1-Straw type wreath. (18" or larger)

2-Take "U" shape foral pins. Put the balloon in about 1/2 way. . .

3-And poke it in! I didn't put all the pins the same way, I crisscrossed them as I went around the wreath. This wreath has over 1000 balloons. (I made a smaller one, it is a 14" wreath and only used about 400 balloons) Good thing for "bulk" packaging.

4-You can add some other finishing touches by adding picks and streamer ribbon.

My notes:

I did one yesterday for our Super Saturday coming up, VERY easy, I bought the 9" balloons at the dollar store  (cheapest by far, even if I tried to buy in bulk) I even bought the curly ribbon at the dollar store, I got the wreath at Hobby Lobby they are 50% off right now, my wreath was a 18" and it took me about 500 balloons, so the wreath was about $28.00 to make. I am going to offer a smaller one for the sisters in the ward though!
