I love the look of rag wreaths! I actually made this one last year and love the country “home” look that it has. I know there are a ton of tutorials online on how to make these! They are pretty simple (just a little time consuming).
Materials:
– Wire wreath form – You can get them from any craft store and I made the largest one.
– I used 1/2 yard of 5 different fabrics. I did make this large wreath and two smaller wreaths for gifts and it was enough fabric. I say if you are just making this wreath about 2 yards total will do.
– Scissors or pinking shears
- I start but cutting all the fabric into strips. You want them about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
- Double knot the fabric around the wreath wire form.
- I then clip any fabric strips that seems too long or hanging out. If you like the look of pieces being to long or short you can always keep it.
That’s it! Super easy.
That looks fab. My mum made a really small one a couple of years back which I love. I hope I get some time to make a big one this year as I just love the look of them. X
Thanks!! I know! It takes a lot of patience!!! 🙂
Great idea!
Thanks! 🙂
I love your wreath! You have inspired me! I’m thinking the same idea except with tulle!
Oh that would be so cute!! Share the pic if you do!
I love your wreath…I have a half finished Halloween one sitting in my closet….it might get finished before Halloween next year.
haha:) Thanks Leslie. I know they seem to take forever to finish! I never thought I would finish this one!

Wow, this looks fabulous! I will definitely have to give this a try, even if I don’t make it this year! My oldest son and I made paper chains today and I might be DIY-ed out this holiday 😉
