RaG wReAtH

Hello!
It has been forever since I have posted! But I have been so busy with work and school. But now that it is time for the holidays, I am back to crafty stuff!   Today I made a rag wreath. I love how it only costed me about $7.00 to make! Down side...Time Consuming!!!  It's totally worth it though! Here you go.

Things you will need:
I chose 2 fabrics - 1 yard of each
1 Wire Coat Hanger
Scissors
Any embellishments you want to add. 
Time!

Step one: Stretch your wire coat hanger into a circle. You can just do with your hands.
(I forgot to take a photo of this step)

Step two: Cut your fabric into 1"x8" strips.    This is the time consuming part. The good thing to remember is that it does not have to be perfect!  It's rags!  So no worries if not all pieces are cut exactly the same size.


 Here's my piles =)

Step three:   Tie knots! Lots of them. I double knotted mine. 

Step four:  Squish them all together. The closer you get them, the more full your wreath will be. 

Step five: Add Embellishments & hang.  I found this cute bow at Hobby Lobby on sale for $2!  

Last Step:  ENJOY!!!!
