Patiotic Wreath

I always see really cute wreaths around the web and especially on Pinterest.  I decided to try and make a foam wreath out of a dollar store pool noodle.  My Fourth of July decor is rather limited and I wanted to go for a Patriotic theme.

I wrapped the noodle with one spool of blue with white polka dots and two spools of red and white striped ribbon (I found both at Walmart).  It worked really great until my baby decided to lounge around on it like an inner tube at the pool, and well it became an odd shape so I decided to attach a chalkboard and some paper fireworks form Landee See, Landee Do.  To make the chalkboard I spray painted a plain wooden plaque with chalkboard spray paint.
