Cozy flannel wrapped wreath

I've had my eye on this project for awhile: Flannel Wrapped Wreath from Sarah at Sadie Seasongoods.  It looks to me like a door decoration that would work all winter long.

Besides, who doesn't love plaid flannel?

I'm really thinking maybe this will be the year I can get one of these made.  I have loads of plaid flannel scraps, plus a couple of old shirts I cut up to repurpose.  I wouldn't dare say for sure, but I think that a foam wreath form might work as well as the straw base that Sarah used.  The straw would likely be less expensive, though.  I just took a quick peek at Joann.com and I see that the straw wreaths are cheaper by a couple of dollars at least.  So for that reason, and for ease of pinning, the straw would be the very best choice unless you happen to have a foam one on hand.

If you visit Sadie Seasongoods, you will also see some other plaid flannel projects, including a table runner.  I really want to make one of those ... it also would be perfect all winter.  Have fun with these ideas!  I hope to!

    1. Oh, that would be elegant and festive, Linda! I am thinking the cozy look of flannel here -- I think blue plaids with snowflakes trimming the wreath would be lovely for the rest of the winter.

  4. Beautiful! Even better if it's made with shirts from a grandparent... a souvenir wreath

    1. Oh, that is a lovely idea, Lucie! I have a few flannel shirts of my dad's that had worn out, and I cut off the usable parts. This would be a great project to use them for.
