This tutorial for how to make a Christmas wreath is an excellent way to use up fabric scraps and create a pretty wreath.
The video is for a wreath for the 4th of July, but it can be used for any occasion, as noted at the end.
Use Christmas colors and patterns and you’ll have a beautiful wreath; your holiday guests will be touching it, trying to figure out how you made it.
Once the fabric pieces are ready, you could do this wreath while you’re watching a movie.
Have a look at the video and see if you want to have a go. The first few seconds made me smile; we get to see Alfie the dog wearing a finished wreath.
