Christmas Taffeta Wreath
This wreath was made from cardboard and taffeta remnants. Then
I embellished it with a leftover bow and a candle ring. Any
beginner at sewing can make this wreath so share the idea with
your daughter, neice or grandaughter. A nice family project.
1. Trace dinner plate on piece of stiff cardboard.
2. Cut out middle to within 1" of outer edge. Now you have a
ring.
3. Cut ring once to allow tube to fit over cardboard.
4. Cut 3 strips of green fabric (any green fabric will do) 7"
wide by 40" long.
5. Sew strips together, making a very long tube.
6. Turn right side out and ease over cardboard ring.
7. After entire tube is gathered on the ring, re-join cardboard
together with staples.
8. Adjust gathers and embellish.
Depending on the fabrics used, this wreath can be hung inside on a
wall or outside on your door.
