Hello there. Today I'm going to try and get into the festive mood and use up some of my scrap fabric at the same time - I present - how to make yourself a Christmas Rag Wreath. This one's great for kids and adults a like as it's so simple!
You will need:
Wire (I used a coat hanger)
Scrap fabric - this depends on the size of your wire ring, I got through about 1.5m x .5m in 4 colours with my coat hanger.
Scissors
Decoration (optional)
Time. Indeed, this takes a while, but you can easily do this in an evening in front of the telly if you're careful!
Instructions:
Bend your wire into a circle, and put to one side.
Get cutting!
After each batch, add them to your wire so you know how much more you need to cut. I tied mine with a knot, and in order, one of each colour.
Carry on going! I cannot stress how easy this is! After you've crammed as much as you can on, add any decorations you want, and ruffle up your wreath, making sure you can't see any of the knots.
You're finished! Told you it was easy.
Next week I'm thinking present ideas - I know it's early, but these things take time...
