Knot Wreath

A Knot Wreath is a great project to use up some of your extra fabric stash.  By simply changing the material, you can make this wreath for any occasion and it makes a great gift!  Anyone who can tie a knot can make this wreath.

1. Bend the hanger into a circle.
2. Bend the hook of the hanger into a loop to form a hanger for the wreath as pictured.

3. Cut approximately 200 strips of fabric 7" long x 1 1/2" wide.  You should get 30 strips across the width of the fabric and you will need to cut a little more than 6 rows.  Pinking shears or a rotary cutter would be nice to use here.

4. Start knotting your strips, in a single knot (cross the ends and tuck it under once) onto the hanger.  Push the strips close together as you attach them.

5. Leave a space at the bottom (opposite the hanger) to tie your bow on.  To make the bow, cut a strip of fabric (with pinking shears if possible) 3" x 42".  Cut the two ends at an angle for a more professional look. Attach the center of this fabric strip to the hanger in the same knot manner you used for the strips of fabric. Then, simply tie it in a nice neat bow.

   Ideas: 

   • For a country wreath, use fabric with a country look and rip your strips instead of cutting them.
   • Make a wreath for a baby shower and send it home with the mom-to-be.
   • Use a nice spring print and give the wreath as a gift for Mother's day.
