Hi hi! My name is Elise and I am excited to share with you a simple DIY wreath that you can make with scraps of fabric, ribbon and a wire hanger.
Carefully unfold the wire hanger and twist it into a circle shape. It doesn't have to be perfect, you won't see the wire once we are done.
Begin tying scraps of fabric to the wire with a simple knot. (Scraps of about 7 inches will be best).
Continue tying scraps varying the color and type of material. Push the knots very close together and twist the fabric around the wire to give the wreath dimension.
Once you have completely wrapped the wire, add a ribbon around the main frame and tie with a bow.
It's ready to hang on your wall for the rest of the season!
Thanks, Elsie, for having me! Enjoy the rest of the Tricks & Treats. xo, elise

This is so cute! And simple. I can’t wait to try it. About how many scraps of fabric do you think is needed?
so clever! : )
SO freakin’ cute! Maybe I’ll make 1 for my mom . . .
Oh I love this!
hi Stefanie, I used a lot… started with about 50 and ended up with closer to 100? Hope that helps!
This is great! I’ve been wanting to make a wreath for fall but once you add up all the supply costs it gets expensive. I may make this tonight or tomorrow to hang up just in time for Halloween! 🙂
I love this – I think I’ll make one in Christmas hues for the festive season. So simply but very effective 🙂
I love this! Think I may even try it!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I love this D.I.Y. project. I whipped one up tonight as a present for my mom. I can’t wait to make some mini ones for xmas decorations for the tree this year.
This is AWESOME. I love that there’s no sewing involved (aka, I love that even I can do it!) 🙂

What a pretty wreath! So simple and so pretty at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
Love it!
Question: where can you buy just “scraps” of fabric? (can you tell I’m not a sewer/fabric person?) Do they have “scrap packs” or anything at JoAnn’s or something?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same question as above, where do you find scraps of fabric? I’m definitely not a sewer, but would LOVE to make this wreath!
So cute! Who would have thougt to use a wire hanger? Hmmm, cute b-day gift or cute x-mas gift? hehe 🙂
elise,

Very cute! I think I will have my students make these for their parents for Christmas gifts. =) Better get shopping for holiday fabrics! Hohoho
What an AWESOME idea!! I have tons of scraps to use up!
That is so awesome! You could make that for any season/holiday. Great idea.
Love this idea, very inspiring!
realy nice.. i like it. i’ll try it also.
I feel delighted to see people sharing quite profitable on the internet through their blogs. This site has some of the best blogs I have ever come across. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a good idea! original and beautiful! the colors!!! 🙂 Pana
such a great and simple idea! Gonna make one for my girls rooms! 🙂
Love this! This might be a stupid question, but what if your fabric only shows the color on one side and dull on the other? Are you folding the strips before knotting? It didn’t look like it. Thanks!
love it!looks so easy !thanks!!!!!!
Love the idea of the wire hanger as a base. I am definitely going to try. Fabric is a great idea too!

I love this. I work with children and I was looking for a project to keep them busy and to prepare for the holidays, I think this will be perfect for them! Thank you xox
Thank you for this DIY! I made my own here : http://elodimoitout.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/couronne-de-noel-100-recup/
Oh wow!This is amazing, and I’m going to try making one in red white and blue for the queens gold jubilee ( I’m british!!!)
wow
I did something similar in about 1993 for Valentine’s Day. I bought a wreath made of compressed hay, bought great V-Day materials cut in 1-in squares with zig-zag shears, took a screwdriver, & punched the material into the wreath (could be foam also but can break so be careful) & voila, a lovely wreath to hang.
I stumbled upon you on pinterest through others while I was looking for wreath making love your Fall one. Thank you for sharing.
this looks very fun and very do-able
omg! what a fantastic!!! ♥♥♥
Now I know what to do with the last wire hang in our home! Super easy too. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Saw it here http://www.fromfreyawithlove.blogspot.com
http://www.guccibagsjapan.com/ ２５日午前１０時半ごろ、北海道白老町の白老港から南東約１０キロの沖合で、登別市の登別マリンクラブ所属の遊漁船「ＭＩＨＯ７（ミホセブン）」（全長７．３メートル、定員１４人）が転覆。乗っていた船長の沢田行雄さん（６３）＝登別市千歳町＝と釣り客４人が海に投げ出されているのを、近くにいた漁船が見つけて４人を救助したが、２人は死亡。１人が行方不明になった。
i have a few of the things the past few yrs and they are fun! cutting up the fabric is what takes the longest, you can make one for every mth and have it on your door all yr long!!
Thank you for the inspiration! This is cute, cute, cute! Will be featured in our next article!
How long would you say it would take to tie all the ribbon around the wire??? Looking for a craft with a bunch of women 🙂
