Wreath Fever

Since the winter is here already and I got caught up with wreath fever. I decided that it was a fun, easy, and pretty DIY project I should share.

 You'll need: Wreath (size to your liking), yarn (your choice of color), felt glue, any accent pieces (can be a bird, an object, etc. I choose a feather pad) and felt sheets (your choice of color)

The firs step: wrap yarn around the wreath, tie it first and start wrapping. Do not worry about perfect wrapping. in a way when it overlaps- the imperfection gives it a character. This progress takes a while- do it when you're watching TV! 

 The second step: It is when you start making flowers, cut a circle to your liking. Then cut it into a swirl pattern, but be sure to leave some room in the bottom. It should be a penny-sized dot- used to glue the bottoms of flower before placing it on the wreath.

Third step: roll the swirl pattern from the very beginning- the start of your cutting. At first it feels like folding because the start of swirl is tiny then it starts to roll. Keep on rolling until you reach the bottom, glue it and press the entire flower. Ta-da, you've got a flower!

Fourth step: The fun step for me, in my opinion! You have all the clusters of felt flowers you created. You can take risk and do some impromptu gluing- or carefully create a layout of flowers to your ideal color sequence.Make sure to glue the bottom of flower AND on the area of wreath you're planning on placing the flower on.

 Keep on gluing it- the more, the better! :)

Fifth Step: Add any accents you want- I added a feather pad, it looked cute! Find a thick book and place the wreath (glued sections) atop of it. The glued section should be leaning atop of the book and the other half leaning on the surface. It'll let flowers dry without any weight pulling it down. Leave overnight.When it is ready to hang, pick a favorite spot and hang it up!
