Sharing: Brigid's Valentine Wreath

Yesterday, we asked our Facebook fans to share their latest projects with us. And they are amazing! Thank you to everyone who submitted -- we hope to get a few more up this week! Check out Brigid's quick, and cute Valentine's wreath, below.

Name: Brigid Risko


Project: A Valentine's Day wreath

Materials: A wooden decorative heart, 10 inch macrame ring, 3 different Valentine's Day fabrics (1/2 yard of each), and scissors to cut the fabric.

You cut the fabric into strips about a 1.5 inches wide and about 7.5 inches long and then you tie the strips to the ring alternating the different fabrics. You tie and smoosh... tie and smoosh... Then you hang the wooden heart (or whatever cute thing you can find at Jo-Ann's) from the hoop and let it hang in the middle.

How long did it take you? It took me about an hour to complete this project.

What frustrated you about the project? Nothing really frustrated me during the project, but if I had to say what part was the most tedious...it would have to be cutting all the strips of fabric. 

What did you love the most? I loved tying all the pieces of fabric to the ring and watching it come together.


Thanks Brigid! -Kim

    I am very happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that's at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
