Fabric Wreath Tutorial

I always enjoy creating a festive wreath for my home. This fabric wreath comes together in a few simple steps and is a great way to add some holiday cheer to any space.

Supplies:
Fabric (21 5x5 squares)
Batting
Thread
Ribbon
Scissors
Needle
Marker
Circle template

Step One: Using a marker and a circle template (or bowl), trace a circle onto the back of a piece of fabric and cut out the circle using scissors. Note: The cutwork does not have to be exact as the edge of the fabric and any stray marker lines will not be visible on the final project.

Step Two: Thread a needle and stitch around the piece of fabric using a running stitch.

Step Three: Add a small piece of batting to the center of the fabric circle and pull the end of the thread, closing the circle around the batting, making a small ball. Sew the ball closed and knot the end of the thread to seal the ball. Trim any excess thread.

Step Four: Cut a long piece of thread, add a needle, and tie a knot in the thread several inches from the end. String 21 balls onto the piece of thread, making sure to pierce each ball through the center. Tie the two ends of the thread together, creating a complete circle.

Step Five: Cut a piece of ribbon and tie around the wreath into a bow.

In almost no time at all, you have will have a beautiful wreath! Use this wreath for a home accent or give as a gift to a special someone. This style of wreath is easily adaptable to any season or occasion, just by changing the pattern of the fabric.

Plenty of fabric here, will be looking forward to seeing what this is :)

Dana, this is so cute and versatile...

What a clever idea. This sounds like a great project to work on while watching tv.

Yes, this wreath is fun and is also a great project for children. I made my first wreath like this when I was in 5th grade. I'm sure those with better sewing skills than me will be able to make quick work of this project. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Cool, love making yo yos. Love your wreath.

Dana, did you ever make one of the dolls from all yo yos?

No. I'd love to see a pic for inspiration if you have one.

That sure is beautiful but as soon as I saw need and thread you lost me. lol I must get over my fear of sewing by hand.

LOL Debbie. I have to admit that I did poke myself with the needle a couple of times while I was making this wreath.

I am planning on doing this tonight at my quilting group using one of my favorite lines of fabrics, thanks for the tute!!

If you cut the fabric smaller could these be made into ornaments? or would it be to hard to work with?
