Let me start by saying I WAY overestimated how many rulers I needed. So if anyone is looking for wooden rulers, I have about two dozen…LOL
Begin by placing your rulers face down on a hard surface in a starburst pattern. Place wooden embroidery ring in the center so there is some overlap.
Apply wood glue to the inner edges of the rulers. Place embroidery ring on glue. I secured it by placing a ridiculously heavy medical textbook on top in order for the wood glue to cure.
My dad cut this circle with a hole cutter (hence the hole in the center). You can buy these at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby but they were thicker and I was afraid it would be too heavy.
Paint your wooden ring with the chalkboard paint. It took about four coats to cover.
After that has dried, apply wood glue to the back (around the edges) of the black wooden circle and place over the hole in the center.
More glue drying…{boring}
Then apply glue to back of the wooden apple and place in the center of the black circle.
To cutesy it up, I hot glued some red and white polkadot ribbon for a hanger.
I adore this Back to School Ruler Wreath! It turned out way cuter than I imagined!
