I decided to start making a wreath with the fabric rope, but have learned already that I do not want to work with the huge ball I made yesterday; I’ll be cutting it into smaller strands for weaving.

oh…so glad you said that…I made a yarn covered wreath one year and it nearly broke my arm wrapping ti with a huge ball of scrap yarn I had tied together…ugh…
and, wow…such pretty rope…I wonder if my huge crochet hook could make something with that…hmmm…must try!

I had trouble with a J hook…but maybe one of the humongous ones!

And also, with the fabric rope, the longer it is, the more it wants to come apart as it is woven through. I think making a wreath with fabric rope is a better do it all small bits at a time: get the rope started, then weave a bit, then when rope gets small add more to it, then weave a bit. I chose a big wreath, so even with my big ball, I’ll probably need to more more rope, so when I get to that point, that’s what I’ll do.
A continuous ongoing fabric stash buster for sure!

I make those fabric bowls using strips…when we had a moderator meet up, some of the mods wrapped all the cords before they got started but I prefer the wrap as you go…it takes a bit longer but then you can control where the color is as well…

You guys, these projects are all so inspiring! The wreath and the earrings and the pouch and the bookmark - all your ideas and creations are wonderful! My fingers are itching to make some little things today.
I’m also someone who keeps bits whenever I think I can reuse/remake them - paper and cord/ribbons from nice shopping bags, spare buttons, tags and pins and card. Now you’ve all inspired me, it’s time for a rummage!

Love it! 
I SO want to make fabric rope this year, too! I want to do wrapped ornaments with it…so,
targeting xmas, lol.
The wreath idea is great - can’t wait to see how it develops!! Wrap as you go seems like a good strategy - good to know!

looks terrific…I bet it would look good on a foam wreath as well…guess a hot glue gun would have to be used…hmmm…ideas ideas!

I’m not sure. I feel like it’ll need something, but what?

What did the plain rope ones have one them? Maybe a nice cloth bow in cream or something?

I would feel the same - but also it would be a shame to cover up that rope!
Mayyybeee…scrappy flowers of some kind? A wooden letter?

This is so unique…wouldn’t something like this cheer up any room! I just want to touch it…now…do you cut off the little tags at the joins?
When I do fabric bowls, for most of them, but some I do…I like the look both ways…
Thanks for this lovely presentation…
