Not so Scary Halloween Project

Today I have a pretty Halloween project to share with you.  It's a wreath made out of fabric and Stampin' Up! striped grosgrain ribbon.  I used a fabric with orange, black and cream colored plaid pattern along with Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4 wide SU ribbon to create this wreath.




The technique is really quick and simple-
1. I cut the fabric with pinking shears (the zig-zag edge) into strips about the same length and width- I didn't even measure them, just "eyeball" it. 

2. Then I cut the ribbon into lengths about the same as the fabric. 

3.  All you have to do after that is tie them in knots on a styrofoam base and that's it! You can alternate fabric and ribbon for a more finished look if you like-I did 2 fabric strips, 1 black ribbon, 2 fabric strips, 1 orange ribbon and so on.

 I plan to embellish it with something else after I go shopping, but that's for another day....
Pretty easy, right?  Email me pictures of your creations when you try this!
