It's Spring, and Baseball is in the Air


Just a quick wreath for my grandkids.  They started with baseball two months ago, in February. 
  • I used a 12 inch embroidery hoop, a circle of white fabric about 16 inches round.  
  • A red and black marker. 
  • Three 8 inch wide fabric strips ruffled (I sewed three fabric widths together and then folded and ironed it for a 4 inch ruffle. 
  • A 12 inch styrofoam wreath, for the baseball's 3D look.
I printed mine on 11 x 14" printable fabric, hence the seam.  Then I went back with the markers to darken.  I laid the fabric on the wreath form, and slid the hoop down over, and tightened.  I sprayed styrofoam adhesive on the back of the wreath form, and stuck the ruffle to the form.  I added straight pins as I went around.  Be careful, that styrofoam adhesive is stickeeee.
