Gumdrop Wreath

A few weeks ago I saw this online and really wanted to buy two of them to hang in the girls rooms for Christmas but thought it was a little expensive.  

 found here

I figured I could probably make them myself for a lot cheaper!

So I headed of to Michael's and bought the 1 foam ring at $4.00 and then headed to Walmart to grab 3 bags of Gumdrops at $1.00 each.  

I only bought the materials for one Gumdrop wreath because I wanted to see how it turned out before I stocked up on supplies.

I already had the glue gun and glue at home so I set up this morning while the girls watched 'The Little Mermaid' and got to work.  

Now after about an hour of work & a few burnt fingertips, it is almost done.

I just have to spray it with a sealant.

The only thing I am going to change is the foam ring, they have one that is a little more round which I think will look better next time around.

I also have to buy a different ribbon as well, all I had on hand was the pink so it works for now.  

So instead of $35.00 plus $11.00 for shipping,

I spent $7.00 for the foam ring and the Gumdrops.

I think making my own was a much better idea and I really like the way it looks.

It is so cute and colorful  and a perfect decoration for the girl's rooms!
