Here is another version I made of a fall wreath using a wire hanger.
First you bend the hanger into a circle shape. It takes a lot of working with the hanger to get it into a circle. Don't worry if it's not perfect, the tulle will cover it up.
I started with green tulle. Cut it short, about 8" long and tied it in knots around the wreath. I spread the tails out on each side so the wreath would fill up on the outside and inside.
This also creates an almost braided look where the knots are. Continue until you have filled up the wreath with the green.
Then I added sheer orange ribbon. I love the contrast of ribbon and tulle.
I added a few pieces of black glitter tulle to give it some more dimension.
Then to finish it off I added a black metal "P" (our last name) that I picked up from Hobby Lobby on clearance. Here's the finished look:
I love this idea!

Thanks I will link it! I have been enjoying the fall party very much
DeleteStopping by from The D.I.Y. Dreamer linky party! I love this idea! I've been thinking of something to do for my fall wreath and this has given me some inspiration...and how simple using the wire hanger!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You have to really work with the hanger to get it in a circle shape but if you put plenty of tulle on it you cant see if there are imperfections
DeleteCute! glad to see somebody else besides me using metal clothes hangers :) visiting thru Dixie n Dottie Fall party
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I have a ton of them from where my husband's uniforms used to be dry cleaned
DeleteHi Candice, I just found your blog - an answer to prayer. I have been wanting to make one of these for Christmas, yes starting early for once? I wanted to know how long to cut the strips of fabric so thank you and I will also include some tulle. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start on my Christmas ones! I cut them pretty short. About 6"
DeleteYou did a fabulous job!! I love it. The ribbon really adds so much. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteThis is such a great idea with tulle. The colours are so nice together. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous wreath! I've been mulling over how to make a Halloween wreath since I don't have easy access to anywhere selling those styrofoam bases most people use. I have a tonne of wire coat hangers though so this post has been very inspiring, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use the hangers or a pool noodle. It saves so much money and you don't even see it anyway!
DeleteThis is a brilliant idea and looks great.
