[Nfb-krafters-korner] an idea!!!!

Abosutely, but if you where going to pink the edges I would make them a  
little longer in legth and if you were going to cut them yourself maybe a 
little  wider [like 3 inches]  They can be done the 2 1/2 inches, but it will 
just  take some more tie ons to fill up the wreath.

It is  funny, when Joyce was asking for ideas for crafts, this was exactly
what  came to mind the other day for me too!

Joyce, do I remember  correctly?  Would these also look good with the edges
of the fabric  pinked, as another option in creating the wreath?

Well, this is something. I have been  thinking about asking you to do a 
class
on these wreathes. I have a bunch  of scrap fabrics from my neighbor and I
thought it would be a perfect way  to use them. I just never got around to
asking you. 

So I am  thrilled. Didn't you say hemming the strips made a nicer  wreathe?

Thanks for getting in my head and doing what I dream of.
