These are lovely! Twenty three years ago, my first year of teaching, a mom of one of my students made a Valentine Wreath like this. It was heart shaped with pink, red and white fabric. I love it and use it to this day!

How much yardage does a wreath take to make it? I have a friend who I want to show this to and I know that will be the first question she will ask me. 🙂

  I was afraid someone would ask me that! 🙂 I’m terrible at estimating, and I just used remnants I had on hand. If you look at the piles in the original post . . . well, I have almost half of those strips left over, so it really doesn’t take much. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific! 😦

    I totally understand, I don’t estimate fabric very well either, I usually buy much more than I need of a project as a result. I like the whole idea of the wreath and may put it on my project “to-do” list! Thanks!!!

  Thank you! The first one I saw (on Pinterest) was an adorable version for a baby’s room! So they definitely have many uses . . . plus they can be any size! 🙂

I love them both, so glad I don’t have to choose between them as I wouldn’t be able to. Thank you for including a link to my Owl wreath that was very kind of you.
