One of my summer projects was a wreath for my classroom door. Thanks to Pinterest I found the perfect one.
There were a couple of things I found challenging about this. The first is figuring out what kind of wreath to use. I ended up using a three ring green metal wreath. The next challenge was guessing how many boxes of crayons I needed to make the wreath. I used the boxes of 24 crayons and they are the cheap Walmart crayons, it ended up taking 11 or 12 boxes but the wreath is pretty big! I also had a little trouble with attaching the crayons. I used hot glue to secure the crayons and with metal rings on the wreath being so thin I was a little worried they would come off easily. I ended up turning the wreath over and gluing the crayons from the other side as well. This wreath is also 2 layers of crayons not just 1. I chose to do it that way because I wanted some depth and I REALLY didn't want to see the metal support behind the crayons because honestly, my crayons were not spaced out completely evenly. With doing a second layer it isn't really noticeable. If I were to do this again I would not have put the bow - I think it is ugly and initial is a cheap foam letter from Walmart clearance, I would use wood next time.
