Back to School Wreath

August 20, 2012 By Shannah 11 Comments

Want a quick and easy back to school project?  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.  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.

Disclaimer: I had some help with my lettering in the form of a certain blond 5 year old.  It might explain the lopsided letters a bit..or maybe I am just totally incapable of writing in a straight line.

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

Pin It

    It’s hard to believe it’s already time for school. Summer is never really long enough is it? I like your wreath. It’s very creative.
