There is just something so charming about a small little wreath to decorate a corner of a room.
And when that wreath is handmade using leftover fabric scraps from your craft stash, it is a project that is easy on the budge as well. Read more below about how I made this small but charming little wreath made from fabric scraps in about an hour.

Seemed like an easy enough project, and I already had a 4″ wire wreath frame and lots of fabric memo scraps on hand from my days of working in a professional design firm so this project basically didn’t cost anything but an hour of my time.
From my bottomless basket of designer fabric swatches, I picked a colorful piece of fabric and one large enough to make enough strips for the wreath. A good sharp pair of scissors is key to cutting out so many lengths of fabric scraps. The project also uses a 4 inch wire wreath form, and a long ruler or a in my case, a T Square.

For this size of wreath, I cut the fabric into strips of 6″ long by 1″ wide lengths. These do not have to be exact as you won’t even notice a difference once all the strips are attached to the frame.
Wreath Made With Fabric Scraps

To attach the strips of fabric to the frame, fold over each strip length wise creating a loop at one end of the strip. Wrap the folded strip around one of the wire circles on the wreath frame, and pull the fabric through the looped end to tie the fabric in a knot around the wire.
Sorry, but I started working on the wreath and didn’t realize until the end that I hadn’t taken a picture of tying on the strips of fabric. Honestly you can tie the fabric strips on the wreath any way you like to get a similar look.
Keep attaching more fabric loops until you have filled up the entire 4 circles of wire on the wreath frame.
I found that after attaching the fabric loops, that I then needed to go back and pull the knots tighter by pulling on each loose end of the looped knot. This step also helped to create the look of fullness needed to make the wreath look better in my opinion.
The end result was a cute little fabric wreath for a small corner of my kitchen.
This was such a simple and quick project and only took me about an hour to complete.
I will warn you though that it does give you sore fingers to tie all those strips of fabric.
In the end I was glad that I didn’t have a larger wreath form on hand. If I ever decide to make a larger version of this wreath, I will use a softer cotton fabric and not one that was intended for upholstery or pillows. Lesson learned!
