Fabric Rag Wreath Tutorial

Start by folding your fabric in half, meeting the longer edges together. Using scissors, make cuts along the length of the fabric every inch or so.

Unfold the fabric and rip into strips using the cuts as guidelines. There will be little threads from doing this – I like to pull them off as I go to clean up the fabric, but you can also leave them if you want a more scrappy rag look to your wreath.

Now you will need to cut the strips in half to make them 9 inches long. I find it easiest to grab a few at a time, fold them in half and cut.

Then I sort all of the strips into piles based on colors and prints.

Now it’s time to start tying all of those fabric strips onto the wreath form! I like to create a pattern with my fabric, but you could also just tie them on any which color to make it more random. There’s no right or wrong way with this project!

Starting with either the outer most rings or inner rings, tie a piece of fabric in a knot around the two rings.

Then you will move on the the next two rings, and the next two, until you have three pieces of fabric tied onto the wreath form. Then start all over again.

Keep continuing this tying pattern until the whole wreath is full. After I’m done, I like to go back and add in some pieces here and there to help make the wreath look even fuller. And then it’s ready to be hung up on the door!
