Nature in the Arts: Scrap Fabric Wreaths

4/16/2020

6 Comments

 
Hi everyone,

Some of you may or may not know, but I instruct a monthly adult craft program at Douglas-Hart called Nature in the Arts. Watch the video to learn more about the program, and then follow my tutorial on making a scrap fabric wreath! Here are the materials you'll need to complete this project: scrap fabric, a cutting utensil, and wire wreath frame. That's all! It's a simple craft that you can do in the comfort of your own home while watching TV, listening to podcasts or audiobooks, or spending time with your family. You can pass the wreath around, and let everyone in the family help!  I hope the tutorial was easy enough to follow, but if you have any questions, please contact me at anytime. Good luck! 

Thank you for watching,

​Abby deBuhr

I haven't been bored at all! I've painted a couple rooms, scrapbooked, read a lot, did a puzzle, did some easter crafts, and did some baking.

Sewed face masks for workers and friends, cut mask kits for others to sew, started a baby quilt for a new precious nephew, writing notes to friends who live away, moved some day lilies, and FaceTime art lessons with my grandchildren who are out of school. Love this wreath project!! Thanks, Miss Abby.

Not much different than before the quarantine. Love to read, been cleaning up the yard and flower beds and watching the birds and squirrels. Did not know you did this, glad I found this site. The wreath is beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial.
