I wanted to share with you another project I helped my sister with for her baby’s room! My mom gave her a reclaimed window that she hung up but it was looking a little boring so we thought it needed some sprucing up. We’ve seen lots of ruffle wreaths but decided to make up our own version. It was really only after experimenting that we came up with this. Both of us loved the results and how simple it was to do!
Here’s what you will need if you want to try it…
1) 1 yard of fabric
2) Scissors
3) Hot glue gun
4) Foam wreath
5) Long Pins
We used another strip of fabric, 2 pins, and some tacks to hang it up. It’s actually somewhat reminiscent of the tissue poms, I shared last week! I have one more project I want to share with you before I share the whole nursery! Look for that later this week!!

Hey, Lookin for a few accolades for the person who acquired the window, prepared it for display in the baby’s room and hung it….!!!!
Completely adorable!! I might have to try my hand at this one!
This is so cool! I love the way you displayed the step-by-step process. And then I freaked out when I read NURSERY. Did I miss an announcement somewhere??!!
Oh no, wait….I’m caught up now. ;) Congrats to your sister!!
HAHA Sara – no babies yet for me!! I’ll live vicariously through my sister for the moment ;)
Oh man, I love this. Now I just need a baby’s room to decorate…
Wow – so lovely! Thanks for sharing this!
This is beautiful. What type of fabric is it? It seems to be like an organza. Beautifully done.
Would love to show off your pretty ruffle wreath on my Discovering Beauty post this wed. I will link back to this post if that is ok-

Thank you! I’d love to be featured on your Discovering Beauty post! Glad you found my blog!!
Thank you! I’m not too good at identifying fabric…haha. All I know is it had some drape to it and I found it in the clearance section! ;)
Such sweetness. The color, the fluff, perfect.
Thank you for sharing those wonderful photos of your niece. She is absolutely adorable.
I love this!!! So cute and seems so simple! I’m running out to buy a wreath form and some fabric now!! :-) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this! I’m making two for my wedding to hang on the church doors. I just finished one and looooove the way it turned out. I’ll link you with full credit bc it’s super cute. Thanks again :)
I am DYING over this!!! So cute and frilly! I am literally running to the store to get a ring and make one for my little girls room. Thank you for the perky inspiration that I needed.
First off, the window is beautiful, great work! Care to share how you did that? Next, the wreath is soo easy, even I might do that. It looks more time-consuming & beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
what size are the little pieces you are folding over?
I LOVE this wreath and am about to sit down and make this, but Im a little confused on the length of the strips you cut. Did you cut the long length or the short length? Are your strips all a yard long? I’m assuming they are not a yard long?
Hi Amber – glad you are going to try this! I cut the fabric the width of it so yes I am assuming that the strips were around a yard long :) Hope that helps!
Any idea how this might turn out if different colors were alternated? I love the pink, but am looking for a sage green and white idea to add to my office door.
what size is that foam wreath?
Wondering what size are the pieces you used for the ruffles?
I love the simple, sweetness of this wreath! Thanks so much for sharing this great tutorial!
I am also wanting to know the length of the ribbon to make the ruffled. Also, what is the length to cover the wreath? Thanks! I can’t wait to start.
Very cute wreath!
Is the baby’s name Viola, like the instrument?
Beautiful. I think I may try to make one with some girlfriends. Any estimate of time frame for finishing one?
Love this! Can’t wait to get some free time to try this beauty out!
I am also wondering what size foam wreath you used. It looks like it probably was a 12 inch. Or was a 14 in? I just don’t want to run out of fabric.
Can’t wait for your next project. Love your work
Gretchen & Samantha: I think the size of the wreath was 12 inches. Hope that helps!
Hi, I’m still a little confused about the length of the strips for the ruffles. Did you use a yard length strip? That just seemed long but maybe it’s not once you start making the ruffle.
