You can use any fabric you have on hand or whatever you find on sale. {I used an extra curtain panel I had picked up on clearance at Pottery Barn. It ended up being about 2 yards of 54" wide fabric}. I washed my fabric to soften it and did not iron it {wrinkles help make it look cuter}.
Measure out 4" wide increments and tear into strips.
Untwist your hanger and form into a circle shape.
Then start poking the hanger through the strips of fabric, folding like an accordion as you go {I spaced my pokes about 2" apart}.
When you've poked it all through, use some pliers to form a loop at one end of the hanger.
Push all the fabric towards the loop and feed the other end of the hanger through the loop.
Snip the hanger and form a loop so that the ends interlock. I positioned the loops on the side of the wreath and adjusted the fabric to hide them.
Use a scrap of the same fabric to create a loop for hanging by tying it to the hanger between the folds.
Give the fabric folds a bit of a twist to create fullness and make them look more random.
And voila!
You can stop here if you like, or add a ribbon, or decorate it anyway that you'd like.
I chose to hang an ornament in the center for Christmas...
I simply pinned the jute string to the back of the wreath for easy removal later.
I love the simplicity of it and think it looks pretty against a pale wall or the dark wood of our entrance door. And once Christmas is over, off comes the ornament and I'll hang it in my bedroom.
Happy wreathing!
