to make this first wrap the wire around in a circle, then bend into a heart shape, and keep winding the wire around until its strong enough, i did it about 3 times,
heres the heart shape i was left with, the wire does not need to be neat as it wont be seen
then with fabric scraps cut or torn in small strips, start tieing the fabric on by knotting it.
keep going until all the wire is covered. and trim any strips which are too long to make it tidy
then tie two long strips on each side of the heart and the tie a bow to hang it with, i was going to make a round christmas style wreath but i ended up doing a heart to make it a bit different and more versitile for all year round as well as christmas.
the best way to make a round wreath is to use a wire coat hanger, i havent been able to lay my hands on one yet.
So pretty and delicate. Thank you for sharing at Beautiful Junk Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling idea, Aimee! I just love this! I saw another blogger use this same fabric scrap technique on an old white wire Christmas tree. Altho it took her forever to finish, it turned out sweetly shabby chic just like your heart! :)

That is SO adorable! I made a heart-shaped wreath back in February, but used some leftover ruffled trim to cover the wire frame. I love your idea to use little scraps of fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You could use any shape too. Thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best =)
