Due to Pinterest, I have recently formed a love affair with wreathes! And Just for your information, I am one of those people that needs to be busy. Busy with my hands. It calms and distracts me.
While I was at the hospital waiting for my mom to undergo and recover from her recent surgery, I worked on this. It was the perfect project. I didn't need a lot of space. It was methodical and rhythmic--relaxing.
Here's what you will need:
- A wire hanger
- several strips of 1"x7" fabrics of coordinating colors (approx. 150)
- wide ribbon
That's it. Amazing!
Here's the how to:
1. Unwrap wire hanger and form it into a circular shape. This takes some manipulating, but eventually it will be right. I used a bit of tape to secure the connection, but it would have probably stayed if I had just started tying fabric to secure it.
2. Then start tying fabric. Just tied them all in the same direction and spaced them out in a pattern so that the same color wasn't repeated too close. Kept tying until the wire hanger was completely filled. Then I tied a few more around just to give it some more body.
3. Loop a wide ribbon around and tie a bow at the point at which you would like it to hang down.
Happy St. Patrick's Day Y'all!
