Do you have a graduate in your family this year? I've got several and my cousin in Georgia shared a picture of a wreath her mom made in honor of their graduating son/grandson.
Nick will be graduating in a few weeks but this wreath has been on their door for a few days thanks to Ina Cross his grandmom.
Ina made a wreath using floral wrap and the mortarboard her daughter wore years ago as a Moody High School graduate.
If you do not know how to make these wreaths, I've got your back.
Ina used some accent ribbon as well, which you can add but you'll definitely need to get the Deco Mesh.
SUPPLIES --
You can make your own bow without paying $40 or more.
Michael's, Jo-Ann's, Hobby Lobby and sometimes Sam's carry Deco Mesh for around $8 for 10 yards. Two rolls would be enough for mixing school colors.
DON'T FORGET YOUR 40% OFF REGULAR PRICED ITEM COUPONS ALL OF THESE STORES HAVE ON THEIR SITES.
DECO MESH WILL BE REGULAR PRICE SO THE COUPONS WILL APPLY.
NOTE -- You can also buy wire wreath forms at the craft stores if you need more guidance.
