Holiday Wreath DIY Design

My friend Megan sent me a picture of a really cute wreath design that she found on line. It was so cute and fabulous that I decided to recreate it for this Fall.


For this wreath you are going to need A wicker wreath from a craft store. They are not too expensive. I bought a small one for about 3 dollars. You will also need felt in Fall colors and of course scissors and a hot glue gun.


So the first step is to mark and cut out circles in various sizes. I created 3 different sizes with embroidery hoops. Next cut them out.




After cutting out the felt circles..... cut around the outside all the way into the inside and then begin to roll them back up to make the shape on a flower bud. Once done rolling them up glue them to a separate sheet of felt. I used black. Make sure they are secure to the backing of the flower.



Once they are all glued to the other sheet of felt backing cut them out. This is just the same technique as the flower bud rings as shown in the other DIY post.


Now begin to glue the flower buds in the desired place.


And there you have it! Once you are finished place the wreath as a warm welcoming to any guest that comes into your home. 
Happy Fall!
