Could a person use fabric scraps instead of the bandanas? I counted all the bandanas you used 30+, can’t afford to buy all those for wreath for our house let alone anybody else. Love your wreath, such a cute idea but not affordable for our SS budget. Using the bandanas is such a great idea otherwise.
As I asked could use fabric scraps maybe on smaller wreath form?
Always love all your ideas, just can’t afford many I see on here, not just yours.
Happy weekend
Of course! Any fabric could be used! Just cut into rectangles!
I love this idea!! Pinned!
