I have always wanted to make a rag wreath. They are super cute and there is something cathartic sounding about taking old pieces of fabric you weren’t using and turning them into something new and pretty. In fact, my 7-year-old daughter was so on-board with this project that she helped from start to finish!
Hopefully, that tells you how easy it really is to make one of these! She and I sat with a cutting board and watched a movie, chatted and crafted. It was pretty awesome.
Here are all of the materials you will need. I used some fabric squares I had picked up for .15 cents each at one time and so this whole project was less than 7 bucks!
My daughter and I cut the fabric squares from the longest part of each square in about 1 1/2 inch thick pieces and then we (mostly she) cut each of those long pieces again in half and tied the scraps on. I kind of just sat and supervised :) Then in kind of a rotating pattern, we tied the fabric strips onto one of the different wire portions of the wreath.
Easy-peasy right?! Plus super cute!
Thanks for stopping in and happy Spring!
Love,
Jen

How cute and perfect is this wreath for spring?!! Totally going to have to give this a try with my kids. So, thanks for sharing this easy DIY wreath with me :)
It really was super easy. I can see why they are so expensive, because they take time to cut and tie, but we had fun doing it and chatting and watching a movie while we did!

Wow, you did a great job! I love the rainbow fabric. And I know Scarlet would love making one.
We almost want to make one with just different rainbow fabrics, so maybe next time!

This is so cute!! You all did a great job, and I love that your daughter helped most of it. I’m sure she was proud of the result. I will have to try this sometime soon – I feel like I could actually pull this DIY off. LOL
