Hello everyone! Pleased to meet you! I am Cheryl and I live over at That’s What {Che} Said…. I am a momma of 2 boys, wife of 1 husband, and lover of 1 pooch! I used to live my days a chemical engineer, but now that I am a stay at home mommy, I get to use my creative side and I don’t hold back! I dabble in a bit of everything! Crafts, DIY, photography, organization, recipes, rants and many silly stories about my family! Come over some time and say hello! I love making new friends!

 

I am so excited to be a part of Rachel’s “Craft Stash Bash”! How genius is this idea? Using what we already have! I love it!! Rachel is a smart cookie!! Let’s get started, shall we? Today I am excited to share a fun way to use up some of your fabric and ribbon stash! If you are anything like me then you always pick up more fabric than you need for a project, have acquired spools and spools of ribbon for projects, and get giddy at the fabric remnant section of your craft store! Let’s put it too good use and spice up our front door at the same time!

Items needed:

• Wire Wreath Form
• Fabric Scraps
• Ribbon Scraps
• Flip Flops
• Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks

1. To start off, I dug out a wire wreath form that I had purchased for…well…I’m not sure exactly what I purchased it for except that I purchased it with good intentions! ;-). If you don’t have a wreath form don’t worry! You can make one from foam insulation like I did for my Halloween Ghost Wreath or you can make one from a regular old wire hanger, like I did for my Christmas Ornament Wreath!

2. Next, hit your fabric and ribbon stash! Pick out appropriate colors and patterns that are bright and colorful!
 

3. Cut your fabric and ribbons into strips! I used my pinking shears to give them some texture. I used all different widths and lengths of strips! Whatever you have!
 

4. Tie the strips onto the form. However you like. Just tie them on! Yep, that easy!

5. I then hot glued a small pair flip flops right to one of the knots of a fabric scrap! This is the only item I purchased! But I got mine for less than $1. (Use child sized flip flops)
 

Hang and enjoy your cute summer fabric scrap wreath!
 

I’d love for you to stop over anytime and say hello! We just celebrated my youngest’s 2nd birthday party and I am getting ready to share all the goodness from our Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party! Hope to see you soon!
