DIY: Scrap Fabric Wreath

7:21 PM


This will soon hang from my little girl's door to get her all excited for Valentines Day. What a great way to get rid of some extra fabric sitting around! Inspiration from design {etc}.

You need:
Various scrap fabric and ribbon


Bend the hanger to form a circle.
Cut strips of fabric and ribbon to desired length and width. With each piece of fabric and ribbon, tie a regular knot around the wire hanger.


It will probably look uneven like this , so trim fabric and ribbon after you have tied them all on, to create an even look.

Cut off the "hook" from the hanger, or just bend the hook so it is not visible. Loop a long piece of ribbon around the wreath so you can hang it.
Tie a big tule bow on the top if you wish.

This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.

    I made lots of these years ago for our school fair (in Christmas colours) I had my husband bend the wire into a heart shape and they sold out in about 10 minutes! Thanks for the reminder, I might make some for gifts.
