WIP Fabric Wreath

In an attempt to spend a little time each day on something other than my shops, I've started a little Christmas project. This is different from the knitted Santa I haven't started yet, and the socks I'm supposed to be making in class and the place mats I bought fabric for this weekend. Yeah, this is another project I'm starting, haha.



I actually bought this fabric to make place mats last year and never got to it. Whoops! I got the wire wreath at Michael's for about $2.50. I think you're supposed to use thinner strips of fabric, but these worked fine for me. Just a bit harder to tie (and more expensive).

I've got about half of the wreath finished now...



What do you think? I like it and I hope I can actually finish it. Right now I have to hand sew zippers onto four monkeys heads.

I love it! I saw this idea on the moda bake shop blog and was so tempted to buy it, but couldn't justify the cost on fabric right now.

Looks amazing though. Enjoy it!

I think that looks great! I need to get some sort of wreath to use up all my wool scraps.

I love it with that mix of fabric. I had one in red and green.

I need to make another one. The one I made a few houses ago has disappeared in some move or other.

I'll make mine a bit smaller, and probably not until Christmas 2010 since I need to finish all my gift knitting.

I love the wreath idea. I happen to have a pile (ahem) of fabric that might now have a new purpose!
