Rag Wreaths

 Last week I made two rag wreaths.

Flower rag wreath

Start with an old picture frame. I used a 8x10 wooden frame. Wrap a long strip of fabric around the frame until all the frame is covered and glue to secure. Next glue the flowers on. At this point you need to cut strips of fabric to the size you want. I used thin cream fabric. Tie each strip around the frame in-between the flowers. Knot to secure. Last you add a ribbon to the top for it to hang. I was short one flower on the bottom and will have to glue that one on whenever I make my way to the Hobby Lobby.

I made this one for my daughter. Again I used a wooden 8x10 frame. I cut out two different fabrics in strips. one was a light pink corduroy and the other was a dark pink thin fabric. I alternated the fabrics to form a pattern, tying each one with a knot. Do this until all the frame is covered. Next I glued a bow and flower to the bottom front and attached a thick ribbon to the top to hang. I hung it from her curtain rod.
