SUPPLIES AND SHOPPING LINKS

  • about 1/2 to 3/4 of a yard of each fabric
  • 12″ wire wreath frame
  • fabric scissors
  • raffia
  • measuring tape or ruler

Start by cutting or tearing strips of fabric that are about 1-1/2 inches wide.

Then cut each strip into about 8” lengths.

Wrap and tie fabric strips around two wires sections. Sometimes I do this in a random manner depending on how many different patterns I’m working with, but on this one it looks more orderly, kind of like a basket weave.

I was almost half way into making this wreath, when I decided to add the raffia, spacing it after each of the middle blue gingham ties.

Instead of ribbon I’m using a two inch wide piece of the yellow linen to create a bow at the bottom of the wreath.

I have to admit one of my favorite parts of making a rag wreath is ripping or tearing the fabric. There’s something that is very satisfying about ripping fabric, which sounds really weird I know.

Rag wreaths have that farmhouse or homemade feel that I love. In a way, I think of them as one of those perfectly imperfect crafts that you just can resist. Don’t you think so too?
