Fabric Wreath

I had been thinking since I took the Christmas wreath down some time ago, that I really wanted something on the front door.  I wanted a wreath but what kind I was unsure of until I saw this on another blog.  So off to the craft store I went for the supplies.  

I needed fabric, that was number one.  I wanted something summery and festive.  My original plan was to go with red, white and blue, but that didn't pan out when I couldn't find those colors in Walmart's fabric section.  So I went with some summery Caribbean sea colors.  I bought the fabric in a bundle, and bought two to be on the safe side of having enough to cover a wreath form.  The directions called for a 12 inch form, but of course when I got to the store I couldn't remember reading a size anywhere and ended up buying a 18 inch form.  Good thing I got that extra fabric.

The fabric got cut into 1 inch wide by 6 inch long pieces.  My cuts were rough, I just eyeballed them.  From there you just tied them to the form, I double knotted them to keep them from falling off.  It took about 2 hours from start to finish, cutting and tying.  I was pretty pleased with the look of it when all was said and done.
