DAY 7- THE famous ACU wreath!!

Got this from luvmyarmyboy.blogspot.com

ACU Deployment Wreath

ACU fabric-I used 2 uniforms but you can use one. Using two uniforms make the wreath full, one will do the job it just wont look as full but will still look GREAT!

Using your Pinking Sheers, cut your fabric into 2ish inch squarish pieces.

You don’t need to be exact, just try to make them about the same size and shape. * if you don't pinking shears they sell them at the Arts & Craft store here on Post[WETZEL]or the the PX they're a little pricey $25.00

the squares should look something like this :)

Supplies:

• Styrofoam Wreath Form
• Approximately 1 yard of assorted fabric
• Pinking Sheers
• 1 pencil or other object with a blunt point

• Other decorative ribbons, medals, name tapes, flags to dress up the wreath

Now the fun begins. Take one piece at a time and use your pencil to poke the square into the Styrofoam

push into stryofaom, not too hard a gentle push will do

Repeat this process

if using one uniform do not push the pieces so close together but don't leave a gap

Keep going, one square at a time. Filling in and avoiding any bare spots. FYI-I used two uniforms on this wreath so it is very full....if your using one uniform it won't turn out like this one but will still look great!

finished wreath! you did it :)

time to decorate...I used a US ARMY MEDAL and yellow ribbon for center of wreath

adding name tapes to each side and little yellow ribbons all around

*for the hanging handle, I just used a strip of the ACU and hot glued it on*
