செய்து பாருங்கள் Pencil and Cork Wreath

I have sunburst on the brain. I can’t seem to get enough of this look, but for the sake of this post let’s call it a sunburst wreath. And since it’s hanging on the front door I think it counts as a wreath. (Do you know how hard it is to take a decent picture of my front door because of the big window in it?)
I bought all these pencils for $1.50 (thanks to the back to school sales) and I had everything else on hand. The cork circles were going to be used for something else but it didn’t work out so I’m glad I could use them on this project.
I started with 4 pencils to form a cross then worked out from there. I wasn’t going for perfection so I didn’t measure anything, I just started gluing. I ended up using a total of 64 pencils (just in case you were wondering).
The E6000 held the pencils really well until I got to the outer ones. At that point I glued half the pencils, then weighed them down with something heavy and let them dry for about an hour. Then I glued the other half and let them dry. I glued the other cork circle to the front and then let the wreath sit over night before I finished it.
I made a banner for the front using scrapbook paper, twine, and rub on letters.
I added a ribbon to the wreath using thumbtacks. I decided on 2 rows to make it more secure.
Then I just tied the banner on the front and added a little greeting using a thumbtack to hold it in place.
I never know what to put on my door for September so I think this is a fun look for the back to school.
And since the center is cork I can even attach different messages to it. Yeah, my front door is once again decorated.
I’m linking to these awesome blog parties:
