I love these wreaths! I finally decided to buckle down and make one for myself. So...I went into my scrap fabric and dug out a number of different fun prints. Some bright, some neutral, and some dark. I cut them into 1 inch by 7 inch strips (I can't tell you the exact amount of fabric I used, but I just cut until I figured I had enough)
This is the scrap strips in a pile. That's all of them. I put a regular wire hanger out so you can see what I used. I also show here the wire hanger shaped into a circle. I used pliers to do this. (eventually I cut off the hook part, so you can feel free to do that before you start tying). I then tied the strips on, in no particular order. You don't want to have all the same colors bunched together, though. Use variety. I didn't even knot them. Just one tie. (My daughter, Tayler, was home sick *which is a whole other story for another day* from school and so she helped tie some on. Perfect craft for kids!)
This is the end result! I LOVE IT! It is hanging on our Master Bedroom Door. I just thought our door needed a littler 'perkiness' to it. And this is so cheerful I just smile when I see it.
Have fun making your own rag wreath. It was FREE for me!

LeeLee, nice pictures and story about them. You are creative. Musta got it from Mom!
Got the creativeness from Mom and the wavy hair from you. lol
I love the wreath. The colors and fabrics are really pretty together.
Another pretty teacher! Taylers hair has really grown long. Look at all those curls/waves. What was her favorite part of being 'teacher of the day'?
Tayler's curls are from being braided wet the night before. She wanted it braided so it would be curly. :) Although I know she has lots of gorgeous curls in her hair! She enjoyed stapling papers together and being called "Miss Coleman" :)
The wreath is pretty! I like your new blog background/layout too. Very fun!
