In Minnesota, the Tuesday after labor day is the day that most kids go back to school. Are you a mommy who is sad today? I have to admit, I never was. I love summer, but it is a little loosey-goosey for me. I always felt guilty when I saw mommy's crying at school. I would have a huge smile on my face!
I shared this project on fox 9 last Saturday... a ruler wreath. I've seen these on pinterest, and decided to try my own version. My husband was nice enough to cut a bunch of rulers in half for me.
I wrapped a small styrofoam wreath form with red yarn.
I glued each of the rulers on with hot glue...
I decided to add these green scrabble letters to the wreath.
I always look for old letters and numbers at antique stores. I just can't pass them up. I store them in a big divided container...
I just brought it to school to hang in my preschool room! Happy first day of school everyone!
Cute idea! Happy School Days!
ReplyDeleteJust wrapping that wreath with yarn was a feat! Another month to find all the cute rulers! Back to school is fun even when no one at our house had gone back in years!
ReplyDeleteBack to school is a bittersweet time for me... tears of HAPPINESS and bit of SADNESS! :):) Your decorations RULE!! I want to come and play with all your sweet trinkets. :):) I bought a huge box of vintage rules from a garage sale last year... I need to do something like this!
ReplyDeleteI love every single inch of your Back to School wreath!
ReplyDeleteSo clever...and, so original!
