Kevin and I had fun making rag wreaths. I used fencing wire which we got for the co-op and wound it round 3 times. Each wreath takes 1 yard of fabric and I used 4 different fabrics. I folded the fabric in half and cut it and then in half again and that was just wide enough for the strips. I used poly/cotton fabrics. The green paisley was a crepe mix so I knotted that twice as it was a bit floppy. We really enjoyed playing and the end result looked very effective.
The first one took me about 2.5 hours but Kevin soon used the Frederick Taylor style of management and we polished off the second one in less than an hour. I have ordered some fabric in the sale to make more for next year.
