A Christmas Rag Wreath

by | Nov 28, 2012 | Holidays, Tutorial | 13 comments

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

    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 😉

    Thanks for stopping by the Raising Imperfection hop!
