A friend sent me a link to the Moda Fabric Wreath tutorial about 2 weeks before Christmas. And I decided it was a MUST for those "hard to shop for" people on my list! So I set out on a journey to find the honey buns to make them. I wound up ordering three from Etsy and one I found at Hobby Lobby (it was wider, with less variety than the honey buns, but it worked out!)
These took an average of about two hours.
I had to do math, though, which I'm not good at. I enlisted my husband to assist me in determining how many knots would go in each section. I had about 320 strips, so it was a lot of math to do. :-)
I think these turned out really beautifully!
I loved the way they look all set up on my ottoman (there were more on my couch arm!) I will warn you, though, the honey buns shed like CRAZY! I'm still finding little strings in odd places in my house :-) But it was well worth it!
I love this! I've been pondering things to make with Jay's outdated fabric sample books (I have stacks upon stacks of them), so this will be great.
ReplyDeleteI did it with Honey Buns, but didn't you cut fabric? Was that very time consuming?
ReplyDeleteI just had to cut into shorter strips, they were already 1" wide. It wasn't too bad. I measured the first, then cut two at a time.
