DIY Ruffle Wreath

My friend Jenny and I got together last Thursday and had a craft night. 

We had such a great evening and it's all thanks to a little website called Pinterest.

Jenny pinned a tutorial on how to make a ruffle wreath! You can find Kelly's post by clicking here! Her blog is full of cute tutorials! Once we figured out all the materials we needed and mastered cutting knit fabric this wreath was so simple and fun to make. 

Here is what you need:

1 yard of fabric (we used knit fabric)

Scissors (Make sure they are fabric scissors, because they cut better)

Hot Glue Gun

Foam Wreath 

Long Pins

First we cut a long strip about 1 1/2 inches wide the length of the fabric. 

We found it to be easier to pin the fabric and make a cutting guide. 

After our strip was cut we wrapped it around the foam wreath. We ended up using a couple of strips because one strip didn't cover the entire wreath. 

The wreaths completely covered.

After that you cut 2 inch strips about 8-10 inches long for the ruffle part. 

You just continue to pin them on all the way around the wreath. 

The wreath itself took us about a hour to make and it was simple and inexpensive. 

Here is the final project. 

Love how it turned out and want to make more in different colors!
