Easy Valentine's Wreath

Ok sooo...I know I have been a very very bad blogger and was supposed to start this in October, but I am going to try to be better now and keep my posts coming.

For this post I am going to do a little valentines day wreath tutorial!


Perrtty aint it? Ok so here are the deets:
Materials:
  • 3/4 yard of 1 type of v-day fabric
  • 3/4 yard of a 2nd type of v-day fabric (I am sure these are on a huuuuge discount now but even before V-day they were like 30%)
  • Plain Styrofoam or straw wreath (easily obtained at Michael's, Joannes, acmoore etc).
  • Fabric cutting scissors (if your going to be working with fabric a lot I suggest you invest in a pair armed with a 50% off coupon, they do make a big difference) OR regular scissors + a bit more patience.
Instructions:
  • Cut a test fabric strip about 1 inch thick and about how long you will need it to knot around your sized wreath. Lets say for example about 7inches long.
  • Cut a whole bunch of fabric strips 1 inch by 7inches long (or your custom size).
  • Start knotting them on your wreath alternating fabrics.
  • Keep knotting/cutting until your whole wreath is covered.
  • Admire your easy peasy new wreath!
I also think you could do this project for St. Pats Day and it would look really cool as well!
