2nd Felt Flower Wreath

I had so much fun making my first I just had to dive into a second.  I took 2 different sized circle shapes one still being the CD and the other item I traced was a wine glass bottom that was quite a bit smaller.
 I followed the exact same process starting to wind the flower by using the end last cut in the spiral instead of the inside where the circle was cut out.  The effect was a more "full" bloom vs the tightly closed one.  Both of these techniques gave great results and would be so pretty together in combination. 
 I stopped at Michael's Arts and Crafts to see what they had for felt and the selection was great.  I don't think you can tell in the picture but the dark brown I used had a stamped design in the felt making the detail really" pop".  They had denim print, leopard, pink glitte, etc.  The possibilities are endless.  I thought I would try and make a poinsetta shaped felt flower pattern with a leaf and get pinks and red felt to do a Christmas wreath. 
  I also made this wreath a lot more full of flowers compared to my more simplistic first one. Both turned out great!

 Happy Crafting!
