So, after I took all my Christmas decorations down earlier this month my door looked so bare. No more pretty Christmas wreath, so I decided I had to do something about that. I saw this wreath awhile ago on Pinterest here and thought it looked so pretty, yet not too complicated.
I headed to Micheal's to gather my supplies and got to it.
Here's what you need:
Foam wreath ( I used a 16 inch, but you could always use smaller)
Felt of various colors- 3 pieces of each color so you're sure not to run out
Ribbon
Glue Gun
I chose to use felt colors that were wintery, but pretty. I used white, off white, dark gray, light gray and a dark purple felt. The ribbon is a grey wired ribbon with some silver sparkle to it. You could easily make this a Valentine's Day, St. Patricks Day, Easter, or Christmas wreath depending on what colors you choose.
The first thing you will need to do is make a scallop pattern template. I just freehanded one on the back of an old box and cut it out. Then I traced it onto the felt pieces and cut them out. I probably was able to get 4-5 scallop pieces from one felt piece.
After all of the felt was cut I decided on the color pattern I was going to use. I then hot glued each piece to the foam wreath. I used a low temp glue gun for this. Not sure if a high temp one would melt the foam wreath and I didn't want to find out. I made sure that where the felt was glued was going to be the back of the wreath.
Here it is after it was all glued.
Then, I cut a piece from my ribbon and made a loop to hang it from and glued that to the wreath.
After that, I made a big bow and glued that to the front of the loop.
Whatdya think? Pretty cute and easy to make right?
This is such a cute idea. My door is looking pretty bare this days as well. I'm hoping for one of those big 3 letter monograms for my bday!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a nice bday present!
