Craft Project #15 – Spring rag wreath

All of the craft projects for Spring and Easter are based on one single fabric selection. The pastel plaid fabric. I just love this so much.

I decided that this rag wreath will have a total of five separate fabrics with the first one being the plaid. I am also adding fabrics in the colors pink, blue, yellow, and green making sure they compliment the plaid fabric. All fabrics were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I found that they have a better selection of pastel selections.

The pink and blue fabrics have white dots on them.

They yellow fabric has white flowers all over it.

The green is just a plain solid green. I chose this color as I did not want a darker shade of green.

I started the wreath by ironing the fabric before I started cutting them down to size.

The final size of the fabric strips is 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide by 7 inches long. Fabric strips will be attached to a 12 inch round wire wreath form that I purchased from Walmart.

I started with the outer ring and made my way in.

Now that the wreath is complete, I will spray some spray starch of each section to make the fabric stiff. By doing this, my hope is that the fabric strips will stay in place better. I’m using some spray starch I found at Dollar Tree.

The only thing left to do with this wreath is to put it on my mom’s door. Spring decorations will be going up soon.
