Fabric Scraps Wreath

A few months ago I bought a wire wreath frame to make a Spring wreath for the front door. But with five kids' schedules I never got around to it. So instead of a wreath for the door I finally took the frame and made this simple wreath made from fabric scraps for our youngest daughter's bedroom. We're in the process of decorating it (it's about time) after being in our new home for 1 1/2 years. At this pace, give us another 25 years and we'll have the entire house where we want it. Enjoy the journey, right?



It's a simple project but takes a little time. Put in your favorite movie or, now that the weather is good, sit outside, soak up some sun and tie a hundred or so fabric strips.


Supplies needed for this project:
Wire wreath frame-found at most craft stores. I got this one at Micheals.
Fabric scraps-cut into 1" by 6" strips- didn't count how many, but it's quite a bit. I used 6 different fat quarters and used 3/4 of each one.
Ribbon to hang



Take the fabric strips and begin tying them to the frame until it's filled in to where you like it.

Can you guess what colors she chose for her bedroom?

    That is so very cute! I'm going to pin for my daughter's room remodel inspiration too. We're actually looking at various hues of blue too ...

    :)

    Love the colors! That's definitely a project to do during a movie, but I find it relaxing.

    I love anything with torn fabric - it is so versatile. The wreath is a beauty. At rummage sales when shirts are a dollar a bag, I select ones for the fabric and the buttons.

    Hello Bonnie, this is so stinkin cute! : ) I have so many bins of fabrics that I could use to make this. Definitely want to make to go in my grand-daughters bedrooms. One has a bedroom in pink and white with a zebra pattern. I already have those fabrics and could really see it looking good as this wreath.
    I'm a new follower and love your blog. I'd love if you'd share this at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party going on now through Sunday.

    What a terrific idea! I live in a cottage and this would be a beautiful alternative to the usual flower/twig door hangings.
