Pretty Pink and Purple Fabric Strip 12-inch Wreath

Howdy!  I am still making torn fabric strip crafts.  Today, I made a 12-inch wreath.  The wire wreath form I used is 12 inches wide, and has 4 rows of wire.  I tied the fabric strips, ribbons, and trims, to all four rows of wires, making this wreath full and simply beautiful!


For the fabric part, I used three different pink pattern fabrics, and two different purple pattern fabrics.    The fabrics used, measures almost a whole yard.
I also added some ribbons and trims, to help convey the feminine, shabby chic, and vintage style of this hand-torn fabric wreath.  
I used over 25 yards of ribbons and trims.  I added pink and purple seam bindings.  Along with a chevron pattern cotton ribbon in both pink and purple.  I added white lace and white velvet ribbon for softness.  And finally, I added pink glitter tulle and silver-trimmed pink satin ribbon for sparkle.


Finally, I added a yard of this beautiful wide (1 1/4-inch) rose-pink ribbon to hand this beautifully sweet fabric wreath, to provide you with a way to hang this wreath.  This gem of a wreath will look perfect hanging at your next tea party, sweet 16th birthday party, or that very special first birthday celebration!  
This pink and purple hand-tied fabric wreath will add the perfect final touch hanging at a cake table for your next big event: wedding, engagement, retirement, or special birthday celebration.  You can purchase this one-of-a-kind hand tied fabric strip wreath HERE .  


If you would like me to create a one-of-a-kind, fabric strip wreath for your next celebration or for that perfect final decor item for your newly decorated room/home, please contact me with your requests: size, color(s), and materials.  Or simply come out to the Trash to Treasure Trunk Show next weekend, to see my creations in person.

Nostalgia Fabric Banner Finished

Whew.  So, I finished my Nostalgia Banner.  YAHOO!  I ended up adding some silver/grey double faced satin ribbon.  I added silver/grey, because I had added some silver sequin trim.  And, it is for Sale in my Etsy shop, HERE.



The particulars:  I used five different, but coordinating patterns of fabric in pinks and purples from Moda.  I also added, pink seam binding, purple seam binding, white velvet ribbon, silver/grey double faced satin ribbon, silver sequin trim, lavender tinsel trim, two patterns of white lace, purple chevron cotton ribbon, pink satin ribbon with silver piping, and pink sparkle tulle.  The fabric portion of the banner measures 4 feet wide.  The strips measure approximately 9-inches long.  The fabric has been cut 1-inch wide.  The banner is strung on thick jute twine.  There are 18-inches of twine at each end of the fabric banner to allow plenty of room to secure it.


Use this hand-made, homespun banner to dress-up a window, a headboard, a wall, or crib, etc.  You can also use this decorative piece to decorate your next party!  Hang this banner at the edge of a cake/gift table, use as a backdrop for the cake table, or photo booth!  Let the pinks and purples add that special girl-y touch to your next birthday party/tea!

I'm making a fabric wreath with the same materials.  Stay tuned!  But don't fret, I'm also making more, but with different colors (red/pink, blue/brown, cream/gold, mint/cream, and a few more!) and patterns.  I have my cream and gold material washed and dried, now all I have to do, is cut it into strips!  {smile}  I'm making fabric strip banners and wreaths.  These will be for SALE in my Etsy shop and @  this year's Trash to Treasure Trunk Show (Jan. 23, 2016) in Albuquerque, NM.

Nostalgia Fabric Banner

Ok, as promised, I have a picture of my latest fabric strip banner.  I used some new fabric from the Nostalgia collection by Moda.  It is simply beautiful!  Pinks, Purples, Creams, with elegant and fresh patterns.  Be still my heart! {smile}
To help bring out the beauty of the pinks and purples, I added some pink pirouette and wisteria wonder seam bindings, and a few extra sweet trims.


I added two different white lace trims, wisteria wonder chevron stripe ribbon, pink pirouette and wisteria wonder seam bindings, silver sequin trim, white velvet ribbon, pink satin ribbon, pink sparkle tulle, and pale purple chenille trim.



I made this fabric strip banner this morning.  And I don't 'think' that it is 'done' yet.  It looks like it is missing something, that it's not quite finished.  So, I hasn't been added to my Etsy shop yet.
Anyways, the fabric portion is 4 feet wide.  Each strip is 18 inches long, so when 'tied' to the twine, each strip hangs 9 inches.
I will be making a fabric strip wreath using this same fabric and trims.  Hopefully I get the wreath completed tomorrow.  Thank you for looking!
