TTU Rag Wreath

It's that time of year... The time when we West Texans clear our Saturday schedules and get our guns up. Our Texas Tech guns up, that is.
So this year, to go along with football season, my front door is sporting a red & black rag wreath.
I love making wreaths like this. They're super cheap and they don't take much brain work. If you play it right, you'll spend less than $10 on the whole project and if you're lucky, you'll already have the solid fabrics in your scrap collection. After supper I can sit down on the couch with my cutting mat and a few yards of fabric, and the next night I can sit down with piles of fabric strips and a wreath form, and before I know it, I've got a fuzzy, cute, homemade, decoration!

To make these wreaths, I use:
a 12" "box style" wreath form (the metal ones with four bars)
1/4 yard of 6 different fabrics. (I use 3 solids and 3 patterns)

The instructions are simple:
 Cut the fabric into approximately 1" x 6" strips. It's really just a personal preference.

Working by section, half knot the strips to the wreath. I work from the inside out and the last few that I've made, I have removed the outside ring of the wreath and only done the inner and third rings. The first ones I did, I covered all 4 rings. I have made wreaths both ways, it's just another personal preference as to which style you like and how thick you want your final product to be.

The Double T is just a piece of cardboard covered in a football patterned fabric and tied to the wreath. I didn't want it to be permanent since right now the plan is to hang it for baseball season, too.
