Episode 132: Back to School Doorscape

I've had this doorscape up for a while, but I haven't gotten around to making the video and blog post until now.  This back to school doorscape can translate to your own school, college or professional sports team.  It's pretty simple.  So, first, check out the video:

The supplies needed are as follows:

Two colors of deco mesh (21" X 10 yard rolls)
Four types of ribbon
Floral wire
Floral pins
Pom poms or accents of your choice
Styrofoam wreath
Little mum from Michael's
Blank cardboard pennants
Jute
Navy vinyl and Silhouette machine (or you can buy pre-cut letters or even use paper)
Mod Podge for Paper
Foam Brush
8.5 x11" sticker paper (Hobby Lobby)
Football Helmets from Creative Gift Packaging
Valspar White spray paint
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks


Here are a couple of close-up pics:

The megaphone came off.  PLEASE someone advise me on an INDUSTRIAL strength glue to use on wood that withstands heat AND does NOT take a WEEK to dry!!!!!  HELP!

I will talk in more detail tomorrow about how I made the football helmets.
