For this month’s Thrifty Thursday, I’ve repurposed an old wrap skirt I bought at a Goodwill about 3 or 4 years ago. I can’t tell you why I bought it because it had a hole and stitching where another hole had been (somehow missed it) AND I have literally NEVER worn it…in the 3 or 4 years that I have owned it, NEVER. (I also have no idea why I’ve never gotten rid of it…) BUT it serves a (re)purpose today!
I’ve wanted to do one of these wreaths for a while now and when I started to think about what I wanted to do for TT (Thrifty Thursday), it all came together…
First gather your materials:
(doesn’t necessarily have to be a skirt…old shirts, dresses, etc. will work just fine)
If you don’t want to do this next step, and embroidery hoop will work too.
However, I’m ALL ABOUT saving money and I already had this wire/twine stuff. 
Take the wired twine and make a circle (any size you like)…
Cut more wire and wrap it around the circle until you feel it’s thick enough.
Now cut your old clothes into strips. Depending on how thick your wreath is, will be how long you’ll need to cut the strips for tying.
(the skirt was quite large…I have plenty of leftover fabric!)
Then….TIE TIE TIE!…..
………TIE TIE TIE………
Fill in any gaps and fluff up the ends!
I love that this skirt just so happened to be appropriate for the summer/Fourth of July season!
Have a Happy (Thrifty) Thursday!
