A rag wreath is a simple and frugal DIY decor project that even kids can do. You can make them for everyday use or use them for Christmas decor. One of the wreaths featured in this post used the fabric I was given from Andover.
I made my first rag wreath in grade school with a group of friends for a homeschool project. I’m not sure I actually finished mine at that point but I did at least learn how to make them and that has come in handy.
A few years ago I made one using Little House on the Prairie fabric from Andover. I’m a big Litle House on the Prairie fan and have read several of the books and watched every episode of the show multiple times.
I’ve been using the one I made years ago for a Christmas wreath for many years now and since then we have moved houses and I wanted a different one to use in my kitchen.
I decided to find some fabric that would look good in my kitchen and ended up deciding to use Riley Blake Pixie Noel fabrics. They were in red and aqua which are the colors in my kitchen so it’s perfect.
I ordered a bundle of 6 fat quarters and that worked perfectly. The set I ordered on Etsy is no longer available but there are some similar ones. I love using Etsy for fat quarters because you can find some really great bundles and they are affordable.
These wreaths are very easy to make, you are just cutting fabric strips and tying them to a wire wreath form so you can whip up several pretty easily. You can also use scrap fabric found at thrift stores and a wire hanger shaped in a circle to make it really cheap.
They are also great Christmas gifts or if you like to sell things at craft fairs they work wonderfully for that as well. You can make a nice profit on these if you use cheap fabrics.

Great giveaway – thanks for the chance to win! Love LHOTP. I tried to share via FB though, and it didn’t work. Points didn’t go through…no kind of confirmation.

Share through Facebook? I don’t think that is an option.

I love this Idea! I sew a lot and have a ton of scrap so this is a great project for all that scrap fabric I have laying around. Thanks for sharing.

I loved Little House On The Prairie. I always watched it also The Waltons. I love the rag wreath when you go to tie the strips do you tie them just on top of the hoop? Thanks Audry

You tie them on each of the wire rings, all the way around. You could skip one if you don’t want it as full.
