Start by deciding on the basic color palette of your Back to School Eraser wreath. I choose to do a green wreath and a pink wreath. Paint the foam wreath with the basic acrylic paint color of your erasers to be used. You can also wrap your wreath with pink or green ribbon if you find that easier than painting the wreath.

It is helpful to sort all your erasers into "like type" piles. This helps ensure you don't have too many repeating erasers.

Starting on the inside of the wreath, begin to slowly adhere your erasers to the form with hot glue. It was helpful to have things in a loose pattern, but it's okay to mix and match as your space allows as you go.
