Scrap fabric heart wreath

Uncategorized


to make this first wrap the wire around in a circle, then bend into a heart shape, and keep winding the wire around until its strong enough, i did it about 3 times,


heres the heart shape i was left with, the wire does not need to be neat as it wont be seen

then with fabric scraps cut or torn in small strips, start tieing the fabric on by knotting it.

keep going until all the wire is covered. and trim any strips which are too long to make it tidy

then tie two long strips on each side of the heart and the tie a bow to hang it with, i was going to make a round christmas style wreath but i ended up doing a heart to make it a bit different and more versitile for all year round as well as christmas.
the best way to make a round wreath is to use a wire coat hanger, i havent been able to lay my hands on one yet.

Serenity you

  2. What a darling idea, Aimee! I just love this! I saw another blogger use this same fabric scrap technique on an old white wire Christmas tree. Altho it took her forever to finish, it turned out sweetly shabby chic just like your heart! 🙂

  5. That is SO adorable! I made a heart-shaped wreath back in February, but used some leftover ruffled trim to cover the wire frame. I love your idea to use little scraps of fabric!
