We used a florist's copper ring frame as the base. Afterwards we threaded small pieces of fabric, the size of two stamps side by side, onto lengths of strong cotton leaving long ends to tie up with.
Once we created a large strip of fabric strips we wrapped them around the frame and sewed a few places to make it secure. Junk shop chains, broken jewellery and brooches were used to decorate further and recycled ribbon tied on to hang it.
An inexpensive and effective object.
Today there were no copper frames to work on so someone cut out a stiff cardboard ring and tied lots of 12" x 2" strips of red cloth all the way round. It looked classy and expensive. A great low cost project with wonderful results.
