Back to School Wreath

Want a quick and easy back to school project? Â This one is for you then! Just a few easy supplies and you have a super fast but really cute back to school wreath!
Start with a circle of some kind. Â You could cut a circle out of a cardboard box. I used the cardboard that came under H’s birthday cake {you can get them at Michaels or Party City} and then painted it red.
Then, grab some pencils and colored pencils along with your hot glue gun.  Just start hot gluing the pencils around the perimeter of the circle! I alternated the regular yellow pencils with the colored pencils as I went around the outside of my circle. I also alternated points out or erasers out.
Once I all the pencils are glued on, grab a stencil and stencil the front with a marker.
I also added in some little yellow stenciling too with acrylic paint.

Just hang on the door and go…all ready for back to school.
