Last night I was ensconced by the fire with a basket of fabric remnants and a heart shaped wire that I found during my big clean up. I decided to give it the rag wreath treatment. It was only a single wire, so it's not as fulsome as the round wreath, but I quite like the results. As before, I cut long strips of fabric, ribbon or lace and just knotted them on. And, in a super-thrifty measure, I even saved the ends of the strips that I trimmed off to make into patchwork baubles later.

Dear Streetcomber
ReplyDeleteI think this heart wreath is really pretty and a very decorative and clever way to use up scraps. It would look lovely with Christmassy material too...now there's an idea...
Best wishes
Ellie
Thanks Ellie, like your idea of the Christmassy fabrics, there were lots on our local market stall when I last visited.

My mission this week is to fine a wire hoop, thanks for the lovely inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you:) You might even be able to twist one from a wire coat hanger, or maybe try a florist's shop.
DeleteSo pretty and looks easy if I can just twist some wire into that shape!
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy! That's what I love about it.
DeleteLove that cabinet - perfect place to hang your heart. This is a lovely idea simple but very effective and thrifty too. Its a weekend for sitting by the fire crafting with all this rain and wind about. Karen x
