Yield: 1
Equipment
- Ruler
- Scissors
Materials
- Scrap fabric
- Mini embroidery hoops
- Ribbon optional
Instructions
- Cut or rip pieces of fabric about 1/2 inch by 8 inches long.
- Fold the strips in half with the wrong sides together.
- Place the fabric under the hoop with the loop end sticking out about an inch.
- Bring the ends of the fabric up and over the hoop edge and through the loop making a knot.
- Adjust as necessary.

Notes
You can also make a similar wreath with shorter pieces that are only 6 inches long. With these, you can simply make a double knot over the hoop edges giving you fabric on both sides as illustrated with the red wreath above.
