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!!!! 

BASEBALL WREATH



THE FINISHED PROJECT!!!
(I LOVE IT!!!!!)

It is now BASEBALL SEASON!!! & GO GIANTS!  Thank goodness!  and I always see a ToN of wreaths that all spring time themed, but yet so much money=/   So I came across this idea and it was pretty much free!! (my kind of project!!!). And to top it off, my sports crazy hubby loved the idea too!
All you need is:
15 Baseballs**- from my friend's dad who coached little league!
1 wire coat hanger
Some ribbon & a pipe cleaner
Power Drill
Having a Handy Hubby helps too=)
                   ** I got 15 baseballs, in case I messed one up (which I did! haha)

All you do is cut top of the coat hanger off, drill holes through the baseballs and thread them on the wire.
Then shape the wire to the desired circle and twist the ends to close.
Then the hard part came! Seeing as how I have never made a bow! I was at Michael's and found SUCH CUTE bows, but didn't want to spend the $30 (this was supposed to be a money saving project).  So I bought some sheer wired ribbon and decided to give youTube a try (how hard could it be right).HERE'S HOW TO MAKE THE BOW
