Easy DIY rag wreaths

I have a lot of fabric scraps. I don’t have the time or patience to quilt, so I wondered if I could make a rag wreath. I found a YouTube tutorial where she bought a preformed wire wreath form. I did not want to invest even $3 in this project, so I put my thinking cap on. I found some old wire hangers. I formed three of them into circles and connected them with picture wire.

I didn’t take any pictures of the hangers, but you can get the idea. I didn’t measure anything, or do anything fancy, I just went for it. 

I decided to go for a Christmas theme for the first one. Again, no real measuring. The strips of fabric are around 4 or 5 inches long and an inch wide. I started tying the strips all around. This fabric was pretty thick, so this went pretty fast. I was finished in about two hours. I like this process because I can watch tv or whatever and it doesn’t take any concentration. I worked on this during my daughter’s  basketball practice. I think it turned out great! I’ll add a bow and maybe a bell or something and it’ll be so cute. 

I had so much fun, I did another one thinking it would be fall-ish, but it’s just kinda cute

It’s tan and orange

Here's my latest.  I had three different zebra prints, so I put them all together.  This one is also bigger.  I think it turned out so cute

I can’t stop! This one will be perfect for a baby boy. 

This one is a brown fabric with green polka dots. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s pretty cute!

I used much longer strips for this one.  It's a little "rattier" but I still really like it.  I like that it's more neutral and can be used for any decor. 

This one is a little crazy 

My niece is expecting a baby girl soon, so this one might be cute for her. 

Now that I've discovered I can pretty much finish a wreath every day, I think I might try to sell one and see what happens.  I have lots of ideas to make them as Christmas presents, too!

This is three small wreaths and a little snowman hat wreath made into a rag wreath snowman. I used a hand towel as a scarf. It’s gonna be so cute for the Christmas season!

Here’s a couple of newest. I’ve started adding hangers, too, which I think make them even better!

 I’ve started making college themed wreaths. My dad is a huge LSU fan, so I made this for him for Father’s Day.

Since I live in Razorback country, I made this one for a friend. I’ve found the little flags on eBay for super cheap. The red fabric is a torn up sheet from goodwill. Fabric is so expensive! So finding sheets at thrift stores is way cheaper and it’s working out great.
