Fabric Rag wreaths are the perfect scrap busting projects so when I recently came across wire heart wreath forms I knew it was the answer for my overflowing pink and red scrap bins!

Rag Wreath Supplies

All you need to make these cute wreaths are:

IMPORTANT: Before cutting your scraps to size, test a 1 1/2″ x 8″ strip on your specific wreath form to ensure it’s long enough. There is some variation in the sizes of heart wreath forms in stores, and you may need a slightly longer scrap if your form is wider than the one we used.

  • A pile of scraps cut roughly 1.5 inches wide and 8 inches long. TIP: You will need more scraps than you think you will! If you’re making this out of fat quarters, I’d start with at least 10. You also don’t need all of the scraps to match! That’s the charm of a project like this.

  • And maybe a great movie to watch because all you have left to do is tie! tie! tie!

Heart Rag Wreath Directions

Grab one scrap at a time and tie a double knot around two rungs of your wireframe…making sure to place the knot in the front.

Alternate your knots back and forth between the three rungs of your frame. So one knot between the center and inner rung and the next knot between the center and outer rung.

Remember to slide your fabric knots close together as you continue to tie your way around the frame.

And that is it.  Tie, alternate, slide.

It’s easy, relaxing, and great to work on during your favorite movie.

When you are finished, it will look something like this from the back:

  1. I made one of these a few years ago-it’s hanging outside of my cubicle right now 🙂 I used a coat hanger from the cleaners and had my husband shape it into a heart. Cute cute. I also used my pinking rotary cutter to cut the fabric. A friend had given me some fabric and in addition i picked up some at the craft store to fill in. Thanks for sharing- the touch of black makes a nice accent!

    1. I know you asked over a year ago, but in case anyone else is wondering, I counted about 104 on the example picture showing the back of the wreath.

  2. I make rag quilts. When I saw your post I made a rag wreath to match a baby rag quilt. Great for a gift to decorate a baby room.

  3. Hello Melissa
    I love so much what you are making!! 😍😍
    I followed you from France and I live now in California. I am wondering what size of heart wreath form do we need to make your Heart?
    Thank you so much!

  4. I made this for my mom last year and it looked beautiful. I actually used many more strips to make it really full. I also sewed in little felt hearts. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Only wish I could show you the end product.
