Boo-tiful Rag Wreath Tutorial


Finally I have a moment to upload pictures and post the tutorial!

Supplies:
1.) Metal Wreath Form
2.) 1 yard of at least 2 types of fabric, cut into 1" x 9" strips

How to:
1.) Start by tying your fabric as shown around 2 bars as shown:
2.) Make sure to double knot:
3.) Stair step this tying of fabric as follows
4.) Tighten and continue in alternating fabrics until your wreath is full
5.) Hang on your door!

This project is easy peasy and only as expensive as the fabric you purchase.  I splurged on my fabrics spending 7.98/yd on one and 5.99/yd on the other 2.  I did, however, wait to make my purchase until I had a "40% off one item" coupon for Hobby Lobby.  If you are patient you could do go to Hobby Lobby a few days in a row and get your fabric for less that way.  The metal wreath form is less than $4.  
Here was my first Rag Wreath.  It's my Patriotic Wreath!
Happy Crafting
Have a Blessed Evening!
