Gold Tack Wreath

I made this wreath out of Dollar Tree thumb tacks and a styrofoam wreath! The ribbon I already had from a different project so it all worked out.


Price: 
5 boxes of tacks - $5
Styrofoam Wreath - $2
=$7 wreath


I used a box that held 300 and used almost all of the boxes, that's almost 1500 tacks. 
I really lucked out finding them at Dollar Tree though, I might have paid twice that for 1500 if not.


I got the wreath from Michaels, cheap and durable!


Then started the hard part, I started around the edges and worked my way in. Every once in a while, a tack wouldn't stick well and I would fire up the hot glue gun to make sure they don't fall out!

15 minutes here, 5 minutes there, as time consuming as it is, if you space it out, it really wasn't a burden at all!


Then I just tied the back ribbon around and I'm convinced any color ribbon would work, I just happened to have this one!


Now I just enjoy my beautiful $7 gold tack wreath.
