Check out my cool new wreath on the front door! Doesn't it just proudly proclaim, "A quilter lives here!" I can't remember where I first saw this idea -- somewhere on Pinterest, I think -- but I loved it. A few months ago, I came across a metal ring while going through my mom's sewing things, and realized that it was perfect for this project. It's a simple afternoon craft, and very kid-friendly.
The hardest part was taking the time to cut the scraps. I cut them 1" x 5.5". I cut waaaaaaaaay too many, so I'll probably go on the hunt for another hoop soon.
Once you cut the strips, it's as simple as tying a single knot around your ring.
Meet my little hams -- they wanted to do a demo for you:
This is my normal front door decoration...it was made for my mom and dad by my Uncle B.
For a few weeks, though, I'm excited to show off this beauty!
Happy sewing!
