A few weeks ago I shared my Fa la la felt wreath I made, and today I'm showing you how to make it!
Couple of things to note before taking on this project. A. This wreath is a commitment! Like a 12 to 16 hour commitment! B. If you don't want to spend that sort of time, you can always pop over to my Etsy and order one from me!
The Players
• Wool Blend Felt, 25 to 30 sheets (I order from SweetEmmaJean)
• 12 in. Wicker Wreath
• Floral Wire
• Low Temp Hot Glue
Making the Flowers
Below you'll find a few links to the tutorials I used to make this wreath. These came from Something Turquoise -- she does a great job of showing you how to make these!
Felt Rannaculus
Eucalyptus Leaves
Cabbage Rose
After you have made your flowers, it's time to adhere. Before you stick anything to your wreath permanently, lay everything out in the way you want it placed. Now we glue! For the wicker wreath, I used a combination of wrapping the wire around the branches and then securing it all with hot glue.
Pro Tip: Let you glue gun rest for a second before pulling it away to minimize glue webs.
After you finish, hang it on you front door with pride and enjoy a warm piece of apple pie. You earned it!
xoxo Sallie
