I went through a phase in junior high where I made a bunch of these one year; I think my mom still has one.
It's super easy to make, and I knocked this one out while I binge-watched a couple episodes of Breaking Bad. (I know, I know… we never watched it when it first aired!)
What you need:
Straw wreath form (Leave it in its shrink wrap/wrapping. Keeps things cleaner!)
1 1/2 yds. Cotton Fabric (All one print like I did, or a mishmash. This is a great way to use up fabric scraps!)
Screwdriver
Scissors or rotary cutter
Cut the fabric into squares; aim for 2 1/2″ square, but it doesn't need to be exact, or the same. You can totally eyeball it.
Use the screwdriver to “punch” the fabric into the straw of the wreath.
Use the tip of the screwdriver to place the center of the square next to the previous one, so you get an overlapped effect as you progress and build the area. You don't need to go all the way around the backside, but you do want to go down the sides a bit so the plain hay isn't easily visible.
And really, that's it! I wouldn't recommend this one for outdoors, since it isn't weather proof AT ALL, but it's great to hang inside to bring some holiday cheer!
