shabby fabric wreath



i love playing around with colours and textures of different fabrics & especially like no sew projects. this is a simple wreath i made using torn blue & white striped ticking, aqua floral fabric, striped ribbons & braid knotted onto a wire coat hanger stretched and bent into a circle. i can imagine this in a bedroom or an idea for a shabby beach christmas.





see it here

i've made a white and natural fabric wreath as well for christmas, i will show you later & now my hands are sore from tying knots..

have a great day!

    It's lovely. I'm in the Bahamas so I especially like the textures and pastels. Can't wait to see the Christmas wreath.

    You are one clever gal. Looks like you did it on an old coat hanger. What a wonderful project. Congratulations I love it.

    PS Your Etsy store is looking fantastic. And mostly all made by you!!! Incredibly charming and I repeat....... so clever and talented.

    My prediction is it won't be long before you have your own crafting segment on the latest homey TV show. Go Girl!!!!
