Halloween Decorating options: Rag Wreath walkthrough

Decor

This decor walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.

Last year I made a lighted Fall/Thanksgiving rag-a-muffin garland that looked like this (image below) and is linked to the full walkthrough here:

So, when I saw this striking Rag wreath on the party link up last week from A little bit of Everything I really wanted to show it off. First it is festive, second it is adorable and third if you want to make one you will have plenty of time to make and enjoy it through the season. I think this project is the well fitted movie night- keep your hands busy activity. look at how A little Bit of Everything made hers: I made my first wreath and I think it turned out pretty cute. I’ll include a brief walkthrough but it is straightforward to make. Just a little time consuming.


You can use as many fabric choices as you want, I used 4 that I already had. I chose not to use the black minky fabric that is pictured. It makes a big mess when cutting it so I left it out.


Cut some fabric into about 1″ strips. I didn’t measure, just kind of eyeballed it. You can either run your scissors down the fabric or rip the strips. They do not need to be even and the frayed look is what we’re going after. I then cut these strips in half.


I just used a clothes hanger that I bent into a somewhat circle. I had a wreath that I bought, but it was too thick and I would have needed to cut more fabric.


These are my strips all cut up ready to go onto the clothes hanger.


I then just double knotted each piece of fabric on then added a bow to the top.


Turned out pretty cute, didn’t it?


Isn’t that a great option?   I love how she used and old hanger for the form! Waste not!!! Great job!   How many of you are gong to make one now?
