Supplies
- Wreath form
- Bandanas in red, white, and blue (I ended up using two of each color.)
- Heat n Bond iron-on adhesive
- Square Quilting Ruler
- Rotary Cutter
- Batting
- Iron
- Glue Gun
- Floral wire
Directions
1. Cut a nine inch square from the corner of each bandana.
Press each square to remove wrinkles.
Apply Heat n Bond to the wrong side of each bandana square using an iron set on medium heat. The paper should be against the ironing board.
Peel the paper away, fold up one side and iron. (I folded to the black line next to the small paisley pattern.)
Fold down the other side and press.
Bring the corner on the unfolded side to meet the corner on the folded sides. Press in place.
Each bandana triangle should be nice and crisp for wreath making. These triangles are guaranteed not to wilt in the summer heat and humidity.
Use floral wire to make a hanger and attach to the wire wreath form.
Wrap the wreath form in batting to make it easier to glue the bandanas down and also to make the wreath a bit bulkier.
Use a glue gun to glue the bandanas in place.
