For this month’s Pinterest challenge, I finally completed a project I’d been admiring for almost a year. I first came across this pin on Pinterest last summer before I even started pinning things and immediately fell in love with it.

Birthdays are a big deal in our family.  In fact, we don’t have birth days, we have birth weeks!!  So I knew I had to make the balloon birthday wreath shared by How Does She.

I’m not gonna lie to you – this project was very time consuming.  Luckily I was able to convince my super fabulous friend Stephanie that she had to make one with me.  We sat down Saturday night with all our supplies and started working on our wreaths.
We used a wire wreath form and tied our balloons around the wire rings.  We also added pipe cleaners and ribbon.  If we were better prepared we would have had a bottle of wine and enough balloons to complete the project.
For some reason we thought we could make our wreath with fewer balloons than the inspiration piece.  Boy were we wrong!!  So Sunday morning we set out to buy even more balloons and a few hours later we finally finished out wreaths.  After 3 different trips to buy balloons and over 300 balloons, our project was complete .
Now that this beautiful wreath is complete, I will say it was worth the time and effort.
I can’t wait until our next birthday celebration so I can hang up my wreath.
And be prepared – if you invite me to a birthday party, I will be showing up with my birthday wreath to display somewhere at your house because I love it so much!

  1. This came out so cute! It’s nice because it’s generic and you can use it every year!

  2. Kara…that turned out SO darling! Probably my favorite birthday wreath I have seen 🙂 Great job!!

  3. WOW – 300? but like you said, well worth the time and effort. Thanks for the heads up about the “time and the wine” 😉 It’s just too cute for words.

  4. Wowza!!! This may have taken awhile, but it looks oh so worth it! I would definitely show up to other people’s birthday parties with this bad boy. I absolutely adore the bunting addition!

  5. Adorable! I can not wait to make my own. I am your new follower. Hope you check out my blog!

  6. I had every intention of making this for my nephews birthday in August, but 300 balloons. I was going to limit the colors to green and yellow to match the John Deere theme too. Your wreath came out fabulous. Here’s the question, was it worth it? Th anks so much for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays.

  7. I love how festive your wreath looks!!! What an awesome project on display on every birthday!

  9. So cute – I made one a while ago but it doesn’t have the curly ribbon. I think I should give it a little update now!!

  13. Very cute – I love all the colors! I think I just might have to do this myself – I can see all kinds of themes – How about one in different shades of pink and white to celebrate the birth of my new grandbaby (due the middle of June)! I found your blog via The Shady Porch!
