Felt Flower Wreath

Oh My! I made this! It is so cute! (sorry but I am really excited about how this turned out!)

I made this wreath with felt flowers. You can learn to make them here.
The only supplies you need is:
  • a foam wreath
  • hot glue gun
  • LOTS of glue sticks
  • felt

You can get felt at your craft store in 9x12 pieces. They are .30 cents at Joann's. It took about 20-25 sheets of felt for my wreath but it will vary depending on what size wreath you pick and how big you make your roses.

You can buy felt by the yard also. This may be a better way to do it if you are going to do a lot of roses for a large wreath.

I started by making lots of roses. This is only a small amount of them.

Then you just start hot gluing them on the wreath. Keep it random and keep them close together to avoid seeing the wreath through the roses.

Keep going...

Keep going...

I didn't do the back of my wreath. Why should I? No one will see it!

At this point you need to decide how you are going to hang your wreath. I decided to hang mine from a door hanger on my daughters door. So I used coordinating ribbon and pinned in on my wreath. (see the pins?) Then I covered over the ribbon and pins with more flowers.

Here is my door hanger. Gold? yuck!

I covered it with white fabric scraps. This way if I want to use it again later somewhere else I just take the fabric off.

Ta Da! It is so cute!

It looks super cute on my daughters bedroom door. It matches the girly colors inside and makes her room extra special.
