scrappy crafting

i saw a few weeks back a fabric wreath on a blog that was inspired by another blog, and so on...



so i dug out some batik scraps (cause they look pretty on both sides) and went about making me one.

it is just a 12" wire floral frame (joann's) and i tied the fabric strips to it, filling each section tighly. i used fabric scraps measuring approximatley 1.5"- 2" wide by about 6 inches long....

after i got it completely finished, i gave some longer pieces a hair cut.

this is not a quickie project. it took about 5 hours to tie all those strips, but i think the fullness was worth it. i did it while i watched Bones on the DVR, so time went quickly.

for hanging, i just tied a strip to the back and hung it from the loop. i'll be using it only inside...lord knows what insect habitat i would create by putting it outside.


pretty, scrap friendly, and super simple...i like it.
