Felt Flower Wreath Tutorial

Okay!! So I am super excited to show you my first posted craft project.  I had read about making felt flowers but never thought they would be this easy to make and so much FUN!


Items you will need:

*Grapevine Wreath  (Wal-mart for under $4.00)
*Assorted colors of felt (package at Wal-mart under $4.00)
*Glue gun
*Glue sticks
* CD or circle shape of any size
* Scissors
* pen

Step 1

Take your felt and trace around your CD or circle object.  I made three circles from this size sheet I had.  I choose gold, yellow, teal and blue felt for my flowers.  They complimented our front door even though my urge for pinks and purples almost over came me! :)

Step 2

Cut out all of your felt circles making sure that you cut off the pen line you traced or it will show on your flower.  Cut a spiral from your circle cutting the center circle of the felt completely out. 


Step 3

Take one of the ends of felt and wrap it around itself until you reach the other end. I wrapped some tight and left others loose to give it different effects.  Hot glue the end of the felt to itself to complete the flower. 
Step 4

Attach the completed flowers onto the wreath with hot glue.  I arranged them in a random pattern all the way around the wreath.  Use your imagination with color combos and arrangement.  I plan on making a bunch of these!

Step 5

Hang your beautiful wreath, give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy your accomplishment of making great door decor for inside or out for under $10.00!
