Wrap infinity scarves around the wreath form until completely covered. It took three red infinity scarves to cover the ring, and I used safety pins (at the back of the wreath) to keep the scarves in place.

Open up an infinity scarf and wrap it around the plastic laundry basket handle to cover.

Pin or glue at the back.

Use safety pins to secure the scarves as needed.

For contrast, wrap a second color scarf—mine is a blue-check—loosely around the wreath. Secure it at the back and finish with a bow and any decorations you like.
