If you find yourself feeling crafty, take a look at your fabric stash for some inspiration.
Were chearing you on!
All the fabrics were ordered fromCanvas Etc.an online fabric store specializing in 100% cotton canvas materials.
Go ahead and mix up the colors, textures and weights of your scrap materials.
Lighter weight fabrics tend to work better with this wreath so keep that in mind.
Lay the scrap fabrics in a pile to see to it you like how they look together.
All of my fabrics are a soft, muted color so they compliment each other.
I added the dark denim scraps as well to give the wreath some contrast color.
Using a pair of fabric scissors, cut the fabrics into strips measuring 10 long and 12-1 wide.
For the fabrics that are lighter weight such as the voile, cut the strips wider at 1.
Whereas, for the heavier weight fabrics such as the duck cloth, cut the strips thinner at 12.
Some materials can be ripped apart leaving an even raw edge appearance.
It depends on how the fabric was woven together.
The easiest way to figure it out is by trying.
If the fabric doesnt tear, then proceed with cutting using scissors.
Keep the cut strips sorted by color and fabric key in.

Tie one strip around two of the wires starting at the inner ring.
Take a second piece and tie in around the two center wires as shown.
And then take a third piece and tie that around the two outer wires.
Continue this pattern around the entirewire wreath form, mixing in different colored strips as you go.
Push the tie strips together making room for more.
Fill in with more strips where you find gaps.

you’ve got the option to turn the wreath upside down to see the gaps more easily.
Continue around the entire wire wreath form until you are happy with the look.
And trim the longer pieces if you find any looking uneven or too shaggy.

If needed, give your wooden monogram a coat of paint in a coordinating color.
