New Baby Announcement Wreath

Well I’m 2 days away from my due date and I’m sooooooo anxious to meet this little girl. In an effort to keep myself busy, I decided to create a little tutu wreath that I could place on our front door to welcome our sweet new baby girl. I love making my home special with every little personalized detail, including an adorable way to announce a new baby in the house. Oh and you will notice a large space on the chalkboard for her name…which t-minus 48 hours is still undecided. Yikes!

Hartley and I had a fabulous shopping trip Sunday morning and she is just getting so excited about her baby sister and showering her with lots of baby gifts. She was thrilled to pick out all the little flowers and tulle colors. I cannot wait to see her hold the newborn for the very first time. It will be the most precious moment.

Supplies:

• 1 18″ wooden wreath (I choose this because it was cheaper, but you can use a foam one too)
• Tulle
• Faux flowers
• Chalkboard
• Scissors
• Hot Glue
• Chalk Paint Pen

How To:

1. Cut tulle into about 12″ length pieces
2. Fold in half and pull ends through
3. This wooden wreath frame had small holes which I used to place my flowers in with hot glue but if you are using the foam version, just glue the flowers in a design you like
4. Create chalkboard by using paint pen and some sort of straight line (learned this lesson post welcome)
5. Attach chalkboard to wreath with leftover tulle or twine
6. Complete with your baby announcement

You could totally make a boy version of this of course by using different colored tulle and placing dinosaur figurines, mini cars, sailboats, or anything you like.
