Winter White Wreath

This week I was doing little projects to complete the Christmas decorating around the house.  I don't have that many decorations and the ones I have either, are in the colors I don't want to use this year or I have used them so many times that I got tired of them.

Since my theme this year is a wintry blue Christmas, I wanted to have white wreaths instead of the traditional green ones.

This project fits my budget pretty well,  each wreath only costs three dollars.

The material I used to make one:

½ yard winter white fleece (the 60"wide was only 3.99/yard)
1 wooden wreath from the dollar tree store

With the fabric folded in half I cut four strips 3½" wide,  then, each strip was folded lengthwise and pinned it.

Then, it was time to do all that snipping!  I wished I had one of those fringe scissors!  This was the only hard part, at the end I just folded the fleece once because four layers were kind of tough for my hands!

This is how it looks when its all cut.

I use the medium size wreath, the ones seold at the dollar store.

Tie one end of the fringed strip to the wreath, making a knot to keep it in place and with the fringe folded, keep on wrapping it around the wreath.  No glue necessary, as you're done with a strip, tied it in place and begin with a new one.

Until its all cover.

A good piece of ribbon to hang it and that's it!

Happy Holidays!
