Happy Thanksgiving!!
I hope you are having a wonderful day with your loved ones!! Today I am thankful for so many things, including this wonderful blog world.
One of the biggest blessings in my life — my sister Ashley is here to share her Felt Holiday Wreath with us!!
Here’s how you make the wreath:
Supplies:
1 ball of yarn – I used a super bulky size 6 yarn. This makes it easier to wrap the wreath and makes it look cozier 🙂 With the one ball of yarn I was able to make 2 wreaths.
Felt – I picked a cardinal red, gray and cream colorscheme.
Embellishments (pearls, beads, broaches, jewels)
Wreath form – 10 inch –
- Start by wrapping your wreath form with the yarn. Keep it tight and even. The bulkier the yarn, the faster this step will be.
- Take your felt and make some felt flowers. I searched “felt flower tutorial”on pinterest and came up with an amazing selection of tutorials to make all sorts of flowers, from simple to uber-complex. My favorite came from A Pumpkin and a Princess (A Pumpkin and Princess)
These flowers were so simple to make that I am making them as bows for all my Christmas presents this year!
- I embellished the flowers with the gray pearls and rhinestones to add some Christmas bling.
The next step is to hot glue the flowers onto your yarn wreath! Simply place pin them in place to figure out the arrangement and then glue in place.
- I added a little glitter cardinal bird left over from my Advent Calendar. This project is great because you can add little embellishments that are left over from other projects.
- Hang your wreath with a ribbon and you are all set!
A simple, but impressive Cozy Felt Christmas Wreath!
HINT – Since the placement of the felt flowers makes this wreath lopsided, I used a leftover Command Strip to hold the wreath straight on my door. I just placed it at the bottom point of the wreath, between the back of the wreath and the door!
Thanks Ashley!!!
