DIY St. Patrick's Day Green Plaid Rag Wreath
Repurposing clothes from the thrift store
is both thrifty and popular these days.
But I skipped the thrift store all together for this project.
Truth is I've been eyeing this green and blue plaid pair of pajama pants that belonged to my husband.
Every time I did the laundry I thought about how great this plaid was and how perfect it would be for a St. Patrick's Day project.
When they finally sprung a hole in the seat it was my lucky day! 🍀
I began by making little cuts every inch or so across the legs of the pajama pants then tore the fabric across the grain to make strips.
I cut a wire wreath form apart and used only the inside 2 rings for this wreath.
You can read about what I did with the extra outer ring in this post... Easy Spring Wreath.
I cut the strips into pieces about 5" long then tied them to the metal rings.
The strips are tied to both the inner and outer rings all the way around the wreath.
I pinned a felt shamrock to each side of the wreath.
As luck would have it these pajama pants also had a draw string that I used to hang the wreath.
My husband wondered how I had so much motivation to make a wreath when all he really needed was for me to sew the hole in his pants.
But I swear this pair of pajama pants looks so much better as a wreath!
And see what I made with the rest of the fabric by visiting this bold link!
And it didn't even require a trip to the thrift store.
