Halloween Fabric Wreath Making for Kids - Recycle & Make Your Own

Halloween Fabric Wreath Making for Kids | Make Your Own Spooky Decorations

 

A fun project for kids! This Halloween wreath making craft is easy and uses recycled fabric and spooky decorations glued on! A great way to recycle an old dressing gown, fleecy blanket, old bedding, etc!

 

This is a great way for kids to craft and decorate for Halloween on a budget, and costing very little if using items you have around the house. A great way to recycle!

 

Materials needed:

 

·         Plastic Tube & Tape, or Wire Coat Hanger, or wire wreath shape (30 cm)

·         Old fabric

·         Scissors

·         Ruler

·         Halloween Decorations

·         Hot Glue Gun or wire

 

Easy Steps:

 

1. Make or buy a circle shape approx. 30cm in diameter.  You can make a circle wreath shape using plastic tubing or a metal coat hanger and shape into a circle. In the video, I'm using recycled plastic tubing and I taped it together to make a circle.

2. Cut up old fabric into 8 inch by 1 inch pieces / strips. Don't worry if the fabric frays - this adds to the spooky look! Or purchase fabric of choice.

Tip: You can recycle old bedding, clothes or blankets for this project. Fleece and flannel work great! Simply cut into 9x2inch pieces. I've cut up an old tiger onesie and used some old curtains.

4. One by one, tie the fabric pieces to your circle wreath shape. Tie fabric as if the 1st step of tying your shoe lace. (No need to knot it.)

5. Push the fabric close together as you go, turning in different angels, and keep tying on more fabric! Until you get around the whole circle.

6. Tie or glue on Halloween decorations of choice. If using a glue gun, adult supervision is needed!

 

Enjoy! 🎃

Perhaps add battery operated lights to your wreath!
