St. Patrick's Wreath

So, I wanted a St. Patty decoration for my front door. Something simple. But was on a very tight budget. Most of the ideas I saw online used a lot of fabric, which was $7 a yard at my local fabric store. As I would need several yards, not within my budget. And the few (very few) decorations I was able to find, were too expensive. In the past, I've been able to get very cheap craft supplies from the dollar store. So off I went to see what I could find.

Supplies Purchased:
string of ivy (3)
wooden wreath
gold ribbon w/ wire edge (2)
shamrock foil wire

Supplies on Hand:
Gold Glitter Spray Paint
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

I wrapped the ivy around the wreath first. Then the shamrock wire. Then I used one spool of golden ribbon to wrap around the wreath. The second spool of golden ribbon I formed into a simple bow. I glued as needed to hold things in place and to hold the ribbon on. Then I sprayed it with the glitter paint. And voilĂ , I had a $7 wreath that I am very happy with.
