I decided to make a Valentine's Day wreath, after not wanting to pay $75 for one. It was really simple, unfortunately our town is small and Walmart had no wreath base to work with. So I had to be creative and cut out a circle from a paper plate.
About 2 yards of fabric, I had 3 different colors.
Wreath Base, or a paper plate.
Scissors
If you couldn't find a wreath base, cut the middle out of your paper plate. Start by cutting out rectangular pieces of your fabric about 4 to 6 inches long. I tried the scissors that make the designs, but mine weren't the best quality so I gave up. So if you want to add an extra touch, you can buy the designs scissors and use that to cut out your pieces. Once you have cut your pieces, tie them around your wreath base in knots. Cover the whole wreath base, and then fill in where it looks like there are gaps.
