Red scarves from Dollar Tree

3. Gather scarves

I also bought three of these red infinity scarves from Dollar Tree.

Scarf with blue check pattern

And one blue check pattern scarf from Target. I used this scarf as an accent color/pattern on the outside of my wreath.

Wrapping the scarves around the wreath

4. Wrap the scarves

Wrap the wreath base completely with scarves. I did not cut the infinity scarves. I wanted my wreath to have a little bulk to it, but that is an option.

Pinning the scarves to the wreath

Use safety pins and pin along the back of the wreath to secure everything.

Next, wrap the second color scarf loosely around the wreath (as shown above).


Allow a little of the underneath color to peek through and secure the second scarf with safety pins along the back of the wreath as needed.


5. Decorate the wreath

Decorate your wreath with a bow or any decorations you have on hand. I used another red scarf to make a bow and I bought a glitter star from DT to hang in the center.
