“W” is for Wreath

January 17, 2011

A winter wreath made from old sweaters and fabric scraps.

My inspiration came from Stephenie at Decorating Addition, her tutorial can be found here, it’s a slightly different version than mine below.

Here’s how I made the wreath:

I scoured my fabric stash for any neutrals with texture.
I found two sweaters plus lots of scraps (and yes there are pieces of drop cloth in there).
I cut everything into roughly 2″ strips.

I rolled each strip into a spiral and hot glued the end.

I probably made about 150 rolls:
I used a wire wreath form, cardboard cut to fit the back, and twist ties:
Make small holes in the cardboard and secure the cardboard onto the wire frame with the twist ties:
Start gluing the fabric rolls onto the frame and cardboard, swishing them in between the wire slots:
Fill it up tight and use the smaller rolls for the inner and outer edges to cover any wire:


A few close up shots:

The burlap ribbon gives a nice contrast to the soft fabric rolls:
Using items I had on hand I was able to make a cozy winter wreath for our front door.
Thanks Stephenie for the inspiration.
