1) Cut fabric into 4" squares using pinking
shears or a rotary cutter with pinking blade and
a cutting mat.
2) If the wreath is wrapped in plastic, leave
the plastic wrap on the straw wreath.
3) With the right side of one of the fabric
squares facing upward bring the four corners in
to meet each other. Hold the square by the
corners and turn it over. Place a large
dot of hot glue on the flat section on the back
side of the square (opposite where you are
holding the corners). Basically, what you
are doing is putting a large dot of glue in the
center of the wrong side of the fabric square
but holding it by the corners.
4) Place the square directly on the plastic wrap
covering the straw wreath.
5) Repeat steps 3 & 4 placing the fabric squares
close together.
6) If you lay the straw wreath flat on your work
surface, you should cover all areas of the
wreath with fabric squares except for the part
of the wreath which is on your work surface.
7) Tie your ribbon in a bow and attach it to the
wreath with 2 or 3 common pins.
8) Trim the ends of the ribbon at an angle for a
professional look.
Ideas:
- For a baby shower, make a wreath using
"baby" fabric.
- Fall wreaths can be made with fabric
containing fall leaves or apples
- Instead of using ribbon for the bow,
make a bow from a contrasting color of
fabric
- If you don't want to use hot glue, you
can use common pins and place one in the
center of each square.
