I needed a new fall wreath for my front door and got out my fabric scrap bins and decided to do something about it! I really love how it turned out and looks great on my front door! I thought I'd share a quick tutorial with ya'll because it was such an easy wreath to make!
Have a bunch of smaller scraps that you don't know what to do with?? Left over Jelly Roll and Honey Bun strips?? Ribbon remnants?? This is the perfect project for you to spruce up your home with!
Materials:
Wreath Frame of your choice
glue gun
sewing machine
fabric to cover wreath frame
fabric and ribbon scraps of various sizes: none of mine were longer than 4 inches
I started with a flat wooden wreath frame (you can get them at Michael's and other craft stores) and covered it with orange fabric.
Then I chained A BUNCH of fabric and ribbon scraps together. Fold the fabric in half wrong sides together and sew along the open edges so it makes a loop!
Here is a close up of the chaining. Chaining is when you just keep sewing pieces together without cutting the thread. It makes it a lot faster!
After I cut all the chains, I opened up each fabric piece at the seam and put hot glue right on the seam.
That's it ya'll!! See I told you it was super easy and fun! Now go make one for your door! If you make one let me know; I would love to see it!
