AG na CFZ June

Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone and the optional theme is... Anything Goes!  

I saw this idea and thought it would be fun to create a denim wreath out of old blue jeans. We have a few pairs around here!  hahaha

This was not difficult, but I will say it was time consuming!  

I started with a wire wreath frame and looped denim strips over the wire.   I tied them with fishing wire...my favorite craft 'go to' for wreaths and bows!  I threw in a few strips of scrap burlap and lace.  I only used 3 of the 4 wires on the wreath frame leaving the outer one empty.  

I finished it off with a handmade bow with button.  

I'd like to tell you how many pair of blue jeans this took, but I had many of the jeans already cut apart from other projects!  So, I'm going to guess maybe 2 pair?  

 Material List:

Old Blue Jeans cut into 1 1/2" x 7" strips

14" Metal Wire Wreath Form

Lace from Old Curtains cut into 1 1/2" x 7" strips

Burlap from Stash cut into 1 1/2" x 7" strips

Fishing Line Omniflex 700 lb

Celebrate it Christmas Noel Wired Ribbon

Sew-ology Wooden Button

Embroidery Floss

Glue Gun (adhere button to bow)

My wreath is off to the following challenges:
