Another Pinterest Project Success! Sort of...

While looking for some home decor ideas to spruce up the front of our house, I came across this unique idea to make a wreath out of baseballs for the summer.  And then I remembered we have a huge bag of baseballs and softballs in the garage from Scott coaching that never get used.  So, I gathered the supplies it said I needed and set out to make it this past weekend.

The pin from Pinterest showed the wreath looking like this:

The lady who pinned this on Pinterest claimed this could be made as a shortcut with hot glue.  I was a little leary about hot glue holding these baseballs on to a metal wreath frame, but I gave it a go.  And within two minutes I knew it wasn't going to work.  The hot glue, no matter how much I put on a baseball, was not going to hold the weight of the ball at all.  How disappointing...

So, I called Scott over and asked him for his suggestion and he said he would drill a hole all the way through each ball and wire each one onto the frame.  This is truly a loving husband right here...he spent the rest of his Friday night in the basement drilling through baseballs and wiring them on to the wreath frame.

After that, I took the ribbon I bought at Michael's and looped it under and over each ball using scrapbook stickers that are made to adhere a picture to the paper to help hold down the ribbon.  And there you have it!  A baseball wreath!

GO TIGERS!
