Halloween {Ribbon} Wreath & update on the frame!

Still gearing up to get all my Halloween decorations out of the garage this weekend so I wanted to go ahead and try a couple Halloween crafts that I've found out there in Blogland recently.
First up is this ultra cute Halloween wreath made out of ribbon loops. You can check out the tutorial at Tatertots and Jello (love that name!). I didn't do the numbers on the wreath b/c I like things pretty plain but I still think it came out super cute. I was a little nervous to try it but my sister went ahead and made one so of course I have to make one, too! What else would a good sister do? The instructions kinda had me thinking I would need a TON of ribbon, but in reality you only need 3 yards of each ribbon. Also, another tip I would give is to make sure you buy enough thicker ribbon (7/8 & 1 inch or more) so that you aren't filling in SO many holes with your thinner ribbon. SOOOO, here are the results!

What do you think?
I think my favorite part was sewing all the loops together. Once I was done, I really didn't want to cut them apart because they were so {stinking} cute, so I had to at least take some pictures first!

my neighbors probably think I am nuts

Project supplies & totals:
straw wreath ($2.99- Michael's)
base ribbon
loop ribbons
sewing machine & thread (any color, you can't see it)
hot glue gun
blisters - free with purchase of hot glue gun

lots o ribbon

And now for the picture frame update...
So I decided (came to terms with) the frame how it was and decided to put a couple coats of sealer on top to make sure nothing was going anywhere. Weeelllllll....the morning after I sealed the frame I went to go put the photo back in and all the vinyl had started peeling up!!! I guess it was a sign from the crafting gods that the frame sucked, so I peeled off all the letters and started again, this time using a different vinyl. All I had was white, but I think it looks nice, not as sweet as the pink, but whatever! Now it's all centered and this vinyl I used was 10 times easier to apply. So I guess even {kinda} crafty things happen for a reason!
