HomeArts and Crafts IdeasDIY Wreath with Scrap Fabric Hearts
Hi friends!
Im really happy with the choice of fabrics!
For your DIY wreath, try using fabrics that are non-seasonal to get the most use out of it.
DIY Wheat Wreath
From thisWinter hat front door swagto thishand-lettered driftwood sign, we love making creative decor for the house.
Cut out the fabric scraps into heart shapes using the large hearts template provided.
For added interest, I cut one side in denim fabric and the other side in a colored silk.
You could however stick with the same fabric for both sides.
Continue all the way around leaving a 2 gap opening.
Clip the center of the heart as close to the stitch line as possible.
Take care not to cut the stitches.
This will help the fabric lay flat when its turned right side out.
Turn the stitched heart right side out.
it’s possible for you to insert a pencil into the heart to smooth out the edges.
Lightly fill the heart with polyester batting.
Stitch the 2 opening closed by hand with a needle and matching thread color.
Repeat to make 9 hearts.
Cut out the fabric scraps into heart shapes using the small heart template provided.
Continue all the way around leaving a 1.5 gap opening.
Sew the opening closed with the sewing machine.
Start by laying out the large hearts on the wreath hoop until you are happy with the arrangement.
Next, glue each of the large hearts to the hoop with hot glue.

In addition to being decorative, the small hearts help to stabilize the larger ones on the ring.
Glue each of the small hearts onto the larger ones.
For added interest, add three wooden buttons onto the wreath.
Finally, tie some twine to the top of the wreath for hanging and enjoy!
