    One of the early projects shared on Jones Design Company was this linen ruffle wreath. The original tutorial had a sweet nest with glittered eggs and petite fabric flowers (see the full spring wreath tutorial here), but after a while I grew tired of the embellishments and took them off. What’s left is this classic ruffled linen wreath that adds a layer of neutral texture to the wall or door or wherever it hangs.

    I borrowed the images from the original post to show you the how to make a linen ruffle wreath perfect for decorating your front door or wall this spring.

    SUPPLIES: foam wreath / linen (12″ x 72″) / scissors / sewing machine / hot glue gun

    STEP ONE: cut strips of linen (2.5″ x 72″)

    STEP THREE: prepare rufflesstitch-ruffle
    First, with right sides together, stitch two strips together end to end to make one long piece.

    Next, with your sewing machine set to the longest stitch, sew alongside one edge (about 1/8″ in).

    STEP FOUR: make rufflepull-thread-to-ruffle
    gently pull one thread to gather the fabric.

    STEP FIVE: wrap wreath with rufflewrap-ruffle
    run a small bead of hot glue along first edge to hold in place, then wrap and glue to hold.

    STEP SIX: finishfinish-ruffle
    Trim the end of the ruffle and glue cut edge to hold.

    Such a simple and inexpensive project (my favorite criteria!) that gives a fun look for spring.

    And, of course, if you are wanting to embellish even more, go ahead an add some fabric flowers, moss, a nest and glittered eggs!

      1. I cut up a piece of IKEA curtain for this project. There should be linen in the apparel section of your fabric store. Sorry you are having trouble finding it!
