    ;Grab one scrap at a time and tie a double knot around 2 rungs of your wire frame…making sure to place the knot in the front.

    Alternate your knots back and forth between the three rungs of your frame.

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

      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!

      Approximately how many 8 inch fabric strips are needed to make one wreath?

        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.

      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.

      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!

          Yes, 8″ is correct. The wreath form has 3 wires. Make sure you’re only tying it to two of the wires at a time not all 3.

      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.
