Wool Felt Wreath








Are you ready for another Christmas idea? I'm all about thinking ahead this year.  Actually, I was intending for it to be a Christmas wreath, but I like it so much I think I need to change the ribbon so I can keep it up all year. 
Okay...let's get to work! Here's what you need:
Wool felt (I used about a yard and a quarter for mine)
Scissors
Hot glue gun/glue
Straight pins 
Foam wreath

Step 1: Cover the back of your foam wreath with felt. I simply traced the wreath onto my felt, cut it out and hot glued it on. 
Step 2: Cut out little petal shapes like this: ( I just free handed it)

Step 3: Fold your petal into quarters like this:

Step 4: Use your straight pin and attach to wreath:






Step 5: Keep going- this part takes a while!

And the final product....

    Oh my gosh! I made this wreath about 40 years ago it was a pattern in a Woman's day magazine. It called for holly berries and what you do is to cover hat pins with red felt. It also had a great red bow made out of felt. I still have it and it always has be a favourite wreath. When I get my Christmas decorations out I will send you a photo. Great job.
