wanna make a really cute wreath?

last spring i hosted a pinterest party at my house and we made a torn fabric strip wreath... it was a fun project so i thought i'd share with you today how we made ours...

at the party i made a colorful wreath with fun patterns and ribbons...

 it's happy... don't ya think?

 i really squished the fabric and ribbons together as you can see in this close up... it gave the wreath a really full effect... 

for this version i used 3 1/2 yards of fabric {lightweight cotton} in total... i bought seven half yard cuts of different patterned fabrics... and i purchased 6 spools of different ribbons and ric rac to tie in between...

{you could always use less fabric or ribbon if you prefer it floppier...}

just follow the instructions below...

**********************************************

here is the muslin wreath {like the one that i'm making for my gram that i mentioned here}

for this version... i bought 3 1/2 yards of muslin in total... when i brought it home i cut it into seven half yard cuts... 

you also need to purchase a 12" 4 tiered wire wreath form as seen below... i bought mine at hobby lobby...

instructions:

 i made the strips for the wreaths pictured approx 1"- 1 1/4" wide... 

i snipped into the fabric and tore all of the strips vertically {which will give you an 18" strip} 

then i folded that fabric strip in half and snipped it to give me two separate 9" strips...

once you have a whole bunch of 9" strips...

you just start tying them onto the wire wreath form...

pushing them as close together as you can...
and when your done... it'll look like the picture above...

i like this version because i think it will be fun to make some cute, seasonal additions for it... maybe a little birdie for spring... or hang a colorful bunting across it... anything will go since it's so neutral...

this has been one of my favorite things to make... i hope you enjoy this project, too!

have a happy day~
