Hi friends,

This Patriotic Rag Wreath is so easy to make and will look so good on your front door just in time to celebrate the 250th birthday of the USA! 🇺🇸

You’ll need several different red, white, and blue patterned fabrics – I bought a bundle of fat quarters at Hobby Lobby. You’ll also need a 14-inch wire wreath form.

First you’ll need to wash, dry, and iron your fabric. Next you will need to tear it into strips. My strips were 2-inches wide by 7-inches long. Simply snip the edge of the fabric and then tear. It will tear easily and straight, then cut the strips into 7-inch pieces.

You will need a lot of strips! I ended up using 180 strips – 6 on each section of the inner ring, 7 on each section of the next ring, 8 on each section of the next ring, and 9 on each section of the outer ring.

To tie the fabric strips onto the wreath form, fold the strip in half and insert it from front to back – beginning with the inner ring. Then, wrapping the ends around the wire, pull them through the loop of the strip and pull tight.

Continue adding strips of fabric until you have covered the entire wreath form. I just tied them on randomly without any specific order.

When finished, fluff up your fabric and you have a fun Patriotic Rag Wreath for your front door!

Of course you can use fabric for any holiday or something to match your everyday decor…the possibilities are endless! And the fabric tearing step is a great stress reliever!! 😉
