What is it about cold winter days that make me want to get creative and crafty?

Maybe it’s the stir craziness of being cooped up, or can it be that moving around keeps me warm?

Since we had an unexpected snow day today, I wanted to make something cozy and farmhouse-y.

So, I rummaged through my craft closet to see what inspired me. And nothing says farmhouse style like some good, old fashioned Ticking Stripe.

This classic blue and white striped fabric pairs so nicely with denim and I knew it would be a fun way to DIY something with it.

Today, I made my own Ticking Stripe Fabric Wreath and I do believe that it’s going to be a favorite of mine!

Here’s how to make one for yourself.

2 yards Ticking Stripe Fabric
Denim Fabric – I used old blue jean scraps for mine.
16″ Wire wreath Form
Scissors

Cut all your fabric into 6 inch strips.  Be prepared for your hand to get tired with all the cutting. In retrospect, I wish I had one of those cool rotary cutting sets. Since I didn’t, my scissors got a workout!

I cut each strip to about 1/2 inch wide.

Next you tie your pieces to the wire wreath form. I wanted my wreath to be predominately the ticking stripe, so I scattered the pieces of denim here and there to add that pop of blue.

I worked in sections, cutting and tying, in order to give my hand a rest.

Once I finished the wreath, I added a few more pieces of denim here and there in spots that I thought needed a bit more.

  1. Just stop by from Friday Friends Parade LP to let you know I am just smitten with your wreath tutorial. My affinity for ticking prints and wreaths means I just had to pin this to my board for my next crafting project. Thanks for sharing!

  2. SO cute. Quick question. Did you tie each piece to the center wire or all of the wires on the wreath? It looks nice and full but I wanted to try it and mine look as good as yours!

  3. Literally, this is so adorable! I want to make one right now! The ticking fabric has my heart and Jodie and I have visions of barn doors dancing in our heads so you are spot on 🙂 We are so excited you joined our linky party! We hope you’ll join each week. It’s going to be a ton of fun. Blessings, Julie & Jodie
