Handcrafted Society

The Handcrafted Society gals are gathering supplies for another interesting fall project. This month our challenge is to focus on texture and natural materials, such as rope, twine, sisal or raffia. I can think of all sorts of cozy fall projects using those types of items.

Here are two projects that come to mind using jute twine and raffia. Click on my post here to see how to make faux acorns with twine, and here for raffia pumpkins.

These colorful fall bandanas have me thinking of hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, garden scarecrows and county fairs. The fall bandana colors are terracotta brown, olive green, burnt orange and almond beige. Don’t you think they would make really cute napkins? Me too!

Since we are finally feeling a hint of fall with cool crisp mornings, I’m so ready for more fall projects like this one. I just love rag wreaths, because the fabric and color combinations can be just about anything! Plus they are so easy to make. Here’s my list of supplies to round up to make your own bandana and rope wreath.

Supplies And Shopping Links

12″ wire wreath form or 14″ wire wreath form
4 bandanas in various colors or fabric of your choice
sisal rope 1/4″
scissors
tape (optional)

Bandana Rag Wreath Instructions

Start by cutting or tearing strips of fabric that are about 1-1/2 inches wide. Then cut each strip into about 8” lengths.

Wrap and tie fabric strips around two wires sections. Sometimes I attach the fabric strips in a random order depending on how many different patterns or colors I’m working with. Although this time I’m grouping the colors into rows of three, starting with beige, brown, green and ending with orange. Then repeating that color order all the around the wreath form.

Special note: I have to confess that I accidentally bought a 14″ wreath instead of a 12″ wreath, which means I barely had enough fabric with my 4 four bandanas. I suggest using a 12″ wire wreath if you want it to look fuller or you can use more bandanas.

You can take a look at my summer to fall rag wreath post here, to see the difference in fullness between the 14″ and 12″ wreath.

Sisal Rope Accent

The bandana wreath looks pretty cute on its own, but I think the sisal rope addition takes it to another level. The rope I’m using is a 1/4″ wide and I’m using about 20 feet.

To make the curly cue rope detail, I’m adding rope sections that are about three to four feet long by weaving the rope between the tied bandana fabric strips. You may want to add a piece of tape to the cut ends it is a little easier to push the rope through.

I’m allowing the rope to create loose loops and curls going in whatever direction it wants. Then I’m tying the rope ends in a knot so it will not back out on the back side. If the rope you are using is not curling up, then twist the ends to get the look you want.

I’m also adding about 7 shorter sections of rope that are about 14″ long to the wreath with the ends knotted. I think it just adds a little more fullness and the knots are a fun detail. To finish the wreath make a large rope bow and secure it with string. Now you are ready to display your wreath.

Where To Display Your Fall Wreath

This type of wreath looks festive for indoor or outdoor decorating. It will do nicely outdoors if you have a covered porch or patio with a little protection from the elements. I’m giving my wreath to my daughter, and I’m loving how the colors look with the brick of her house.
