Quick and Easy Scarf Christmas Wreath

This easy scarf Christmas wreath can be done at the last minute with whatever scarf you have on hand.

From December 1st to December 23rd I’m sharing three Christmas projects per week, for Twelve Days of Christmas Projects.

Welcome to Day Twelve! The final day!

Today’s scarf Christmas wreath project is quick and easy, and I am a girl who is very fond of repurposing scarves.

Need a last minute wreath to dress up your door?

All you need is a scarf and a wreath form of some kind. I’m using a 12 inch $1 styrofoam wreath form, and a $1 red wool scarf with a lovely textured pattern. Both found in my thrift store stashes.

Honestly I rarely wear scarves. I bring them home when I think they might work for a someday project.

Don’t have a red wool scarf? Maybe you have a green one, or a white one. Or whatever color goes with your Christmas decor. Maybe you have an old scarf you don’t wear anymore.

Pull it out of whatever box or closet it’s in and create something fun with it.

Cutting the scarf into pieces for the wreath

For my scarf Christmas wreath I need three pieces of the scarf to wrap around my wreath form.

This was easily done with regular scissors.

Then I did a dry fit to make sure three pieces were enough to cover the whole wreath form.

And they were, so I was good to go.

Attaching the scarf to the wreath form

To attach my red scarf to the styrofoam form I used my hot glue gun. First I did one side, and then the other, gluing at the back of the form.

And I continued my way around the wreath form, gluing the scarf in place as I went.

Here my wreath with one scarf piece attached.

It’s important to add a bit of hot glue at the seams of the scarf pieces so they don’t pull apart and reveal the form.

Here it is after two pieces of the scarf are glued to the wreath form.

And here it is after all three pieces are attached, and they covered the form beautifully.

I just love the texture of this scarf.

Trimming the back of the scarf Christmas wreath

Once your form is completely covered, it’s time to check out the back and glue down any wayward pieces and trim off any excess.

Here’s what the back looks like all trimmed up nice and neat.

Now you can add whatever you like to dress up your scarf Christmas wreath.

Creating an easy bow for the wreath

I’m using a simple handmade burlap ribbon bow, that you just make like tying your shoes.

Except you have to hold it in place and tie some jute twine around it at the same time.

Which is very hard to do while taking a photo. And that is why there’s no photo of that particular step. lol.

Then I just used some jute twine to tie my bow in place, and I created a loop for hanging the wreath at the same time.

Supplies needed for this easy scarf Christmas wreath

• 12″ styrofoam wreath form (or whatever form you have)
• wool scarf
• hot glue gun
• hot glue sticks
• burlap ribbon
• jute twine
• a Christmas pick

All I needed to dress up my easy scarf Christmas wreath was one Christmas pick, which I glued to the bow, not the scarf.

That way I can change up the bow in the future if I want to. I can see me even using this wreath for Valentine’s Day.

I’ve kept this project pretty simple on purpose. The texture of the scarf is the star here, and I don’t feel like it needs anything else.

But that’s me.

This is a project that you can customize any way you want with what you have in your stashes.

Don’t have a styrofoam wreath form? Use what you do have. Even a cardboard circle would work.

Don’t have burlap ribbon? Use what you do have.

Don’t have a Christmas pick? Use what you do have.

You get the idea.

I hope this project has inspired you to create a one-of-a-kind scarf Christmas wreath with whatever you have in your own stashes.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would pin this project to your favorite Pinterest board, and also share it with your friends.
