Directions 

1. Form the Wreath Base:

   • Bend the noodle to bring the ends together, sliding the exposed part of the dowel into the opposite end.

   • Secure the joint with duct tape, wrapping it tightly to ensure stability.
     
     

2. Wrap with Ribbons:

   • Starting with your widest ribbon, wrap it around the wreath at a slight angle, securing the end with hot glue.

   • Repeat the process with the remaining two ribbons, alternating the direction of the wrap for a dynamic pattern.

   • Ensure each ribbon overlaps slightly to cover the pool noodle completely.
     
     

3. Add Decorative Elements:

   • Using hot glue, attach the foam stars to the wreath in  in can cluster them in one area or space them evenly around the wreath.
