I’ve been noticing that clothes pin wreaths are pretty big on Pinterest, but I just haven’t had time to chase down the wire wreath form from the craft store. Then I remember the notorious death-by-drowning-frisbee we picked up from the Boat Show last year. It was a freebie from the Army Corps of Engineers--what a great way to remind kids to use their lifejackets. Right? Right? Needless to say, no one has played with this morbid toy, so I put it to a better use.
I made it into a wreath.

You can make one too if you have an old ring style frisbee that hasn’t been lost in a tree yet.
You can get the full directions over here, at StlMotherhood.com.
All you have to do is cover the frisbee (I used felt) and then decorate 50 or so wooden clothes pins. Since I was doing this project with my 6 year old, we tried out markers, crayons and covering the pins with paper.

The clothes pin wreath is pretty versatile too. You can decorate the flip side in a different color scheme for the next holiday! We're going to add more green and red pins to this wreath so it can become a Christmas decoration after Thanksgiving.
