Winter White Wreath



This week I was doing little projects to complete the Christmas decorating around the house.  I don't have that many decorations and the ones I have either, are in the colors I don't want to use this year or I have used them so many times that I got tired of them.

Since my theme this year is a wintry blue Christmas, I wanted to have white wreaths instead of the traditional green ones.

This project fits my budget pretty well,  each wreath only costs three dollars.

The material I used to make one:

½ yard winter white fleece (the 60"wide was only 3.99/yard)
1 wooden wreath from the dollar tree store

With the fabric folded in half I cut four strips 3½" wide,  then, each strip was folded lengthwise and pinned it.


Then, it was time to do all that snipping!  I wished I had one of those fringe scissors!  This was the only hard part, at the end I just folded the fleece once because four layers were kind of tough for my hands!



This is how it looks when its all cut.



I use the medium size wreath, the ones seold at the dollar store.



Tie one end of the fringed strip to the wreath, making a knot to keep it in place and with the fringe folded, keep on wrapping it around the wreath.  No glue necessary, as you're done with a strip, tied it in place and begin with a new one.


Until its all cover.


A good piece of ribbon to hang it and that's it!







Check how it looks with red accents for Valentine's day
or on a white and red mantel
Happy Holidays!

  1. Cristina, that's so pretty! To look at it, I never would have guessed it was made from fleece. I thought it was yarn at first. What a great idea, easy and inexpensive too, but it looks beautiful, especially with your winter blue decorations. Glad you shared. Have a great weekend!

  11. Adorable! I've made scarves w that same technique ...the only difference is that you put two pieces of fleece together, usually different colors or a print and a solid. Love your stuff! You are talented beyond your years!
    Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  16. Christinita, eres una chica tan talentosaaaa!!! Your wreath is adorable and ethereal!..and I love the colors you chosed too, I did a centerpiece in this color aqua this year, I had pieces from my limoges table from last year's C'mas, and now I used it for my Hanukkah tablescape. I love everything you make and thanks for dropping by my friend. Yeah, we do go from house to house for the Novena del Niño Jesus and we go around the city to admire the stunning Nativities. God bless you and yours.

  17. How pretty! Looks expensive, but we know how much it costs. lol
    I do have 1 question:
    When you wrap the fleece around the wreath, is it still folded in half, or do you open it up? (shown in your 3rd picture)
    I want to make 2 for after Christmas to leave on my doors for the remaining winter months.

  18. Thank you very much everyone! Suzette, That third pic shows the fleece folded twice (four layers), to speed up the cutting. The wrapping was done with the long strips folded once lengthwise.
