Spring Wreath (Origami + Pool Noodle)

I duct taped a red pool noodle that I found in the basement into a circle to make my wreath. I wrapped it in brown fabric donated by family friend Audrey to cover up the red. Next came layer of brown burlap that I had hanging around, and then some white burlap ribbon that was in the dollar bin at Target.
     After the main wreath was finished, I folded up some origami lilies with paper I had lying around, cut out and folded a few bright green leaves, and stuck it all together with colored pearl tipped pins from my quilting projects. I used the same pins to spell out SPRING.
     I finally painted a couple of kebab sticks that I found in a kitchen drawer green, snapped them in half, and stuck them into the white burlap ribbon at a few key intervals. To hang it and cover up my neon orange duct tape marks (I only have fancy duct tape), I looped some old blue ribbon cut from last year's Easter decorations through the top. And voila. The wreath is finished.
