Scrappy Fall Wreath

~Scrappy Fall Wreath~

Back in May I posted about the birthday party that I threw for my dear friend Erin. It was a woodsy, outdoorsy, candlelit, dimly lit, and lovely birthday party :) Want to see what I am talking about? {Click here} Did you notice the beautiful swagged scraps of fabric that we hung above the dessert table? I loved that swag so much that I have been moving it from room to room trying to see if I could hang it somewhere in my home. It just does not look good in my house - boo! I decided today, after a very long morning with my cranky kiddos, that Mom needed to craft while the kids went down for a nap. Ahhh, serenity :) I made an iced coffee - and then I made a fall wreath out of the scraps of fabric I just told you about :)

Disclaimer - 

This wreath is super simplistic. 

It took 20 min to make this and I am sure it could be improved in about a zillion ways.

If you like it, awesome!

If you don't, sorry. I like it, so I win :)

Here is what I used to make my wreath:

3 long strips of fabric (approx 3' long)

12" strips of coordinating fabrics (about 6-8 strips per color)

Wreath

Scissors

I wrapped the long strips of fabric in 3 different spots on the wreath. Then I tied the shorter scraps between the wrapped fabric sections. At the top I left some wood exposed and used the scraps to make a long cord to hang the wreath. Easy! Done! :)

I hope you get inspired to make your own version of a Fall Wreath!
