Happy Monday!  A new week awaits.  I wonder what adventures will come our way…  How many of you have Easter on your mind?  It’s sure creeping up on us pretty fast.  I usually try to pull out a few decorations for Spring/Easter, but it’s not looking too promising this year.  However, I did make a super cute (bias opinion, I know) Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath.

Absolutely Darling Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath with livelaughrowe.comScrap Fabric Easter Wreath

Remember my Vintage Inspired Scrap Fabric Garland?  It’s one of my all-time favorites!  I have one hanging above a doorway in my work room.  Well, after browsing through a Better Homes and Garden magazine recently, I saw a super cute scrap fabric garland idea and thought that the idea of gingham fabrics and twine would translate fantastically onto an Easter wreath too!

So, today I’m going to share the super uber easy idea with all of you.  Ready?

Supplies for Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath:

12″ Wire Wreath Frame
Gingham Fabric
Muslin
Scissors
Twine
Plastic Eggs, optional

I honestly did not know how much fabric I was going to need, so I bought 1/4 of a yard for each of the fabrics, using gingham fabrics and some muslin.  However, I did have extra fabric, but it will depend on how full you make your wreath — and the size of your strips.  I believe mine were 7″to 8″ in length and about 1/2″ in width.

You’re simply going to cut a gazillion (yes, a gazillion) strips of your fabric.  Some of you might cut a slit into the fabric and tear the strips off. However, others of you might just use scissors.  Whatever your preference might be — you’ll need lots of scrap fabric strips!

After they’re cut,  I would then roll them up in the palm of your hand like you’re making a snowball (hee-hee).  This gets them a little wrinkly and will get the sides all frayed up even more.

Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath with livelaughrowe.comOnce you have all your strips prepped, you’re ready to go!  Tie them to your wire wreath form.  I think this is the most tedious part of the project.  I did all of mine in front of the TV — worked out pretty well too!  Lots of tying with a side of Suits or The Following {wink}.

Creating your Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath with livelaughrowe.comThe muslin is a great way to break up the bright colors and gingham a bit.  I also added strands of frayed twine to my wreath.  I think it added a personal touch that fits my love for the imperfect, rustic designs that I seem to be drawn to these days.  Here’s a closer look:

Such a lovely Scrap Fabric Easter Wreath with livelaughrowe.comGood News!!! If you don’t want this to be an exclusive Easter wreath — keep the eggs off.

I know, can you believe it?

Remember the garland I mentioned earlier?  Better Homes and Garden magazine suggested tying it around the handle of your Easter basket(s).  Ummm, that’s kinda brilliant!!  Here’s a couple of pictures to give you an idea.

    I don’t tend to do so much Easter as Spring since it’s just the hubs and I. Then if I do too much Easter it gets bare after the holiday. I
    love your wreath with/without the eggs, perfect and so pretty, colorful, the muslin with gingham and frayed twine hit the spot. Can leave that wreath up all summer.
    Think I’ll be hitting Walmart to get some gingham, love those colors you added. Think I’d better get myself a smaller wire wreath as one I have would take way too many strips.
    Great spring project. Happy Days

    Thanks for the idea! Now I can find red white blue fabrics to make a patriotic wreath in time for independence day.

    This is a great way to use up old fabric scraps to create a fun and fresh wreath! Great job! I’m new to your blog. Do you do a lot of sewing?

    So adorable and I like that it can be a spring wreath too. I love wreaths all year round. I saw one made of flip flops for the summer. Would love to live near the water. I do have a sign that says ‘head to the beach” so I am there in my mind!
