With every season change {and sometimes more often}, I like to change the wreath on our front door. Most often, this comes in the form of a ribbon wreath.
Now, spring has been here for a little while but our very brown winter wreath was still hanging out on the front door. So, this weekend, I decided it was time to infuse a little color out there. Of course, I stopped over on Pinterest for a little inspiration.
Then, I made mine.
Obviously, this wreath is about as uncomplicated as you can get but I love the bright colors mixed with the white felt flowers so I wanted to share.
I started with a wreath form and wrapped it in the green satin ribbon. Note to self: always buy an extra spool of ribbon! I actually started this a few weeks ago but ran out of ribbon so it just sat on my table waiting for completion.
Once the wreath was wrapped, I made my felt flowers. These are super easy and allow you to get more than one flower out of each piece of felt.
A quick tutorial:
Cut the felt into strips. I don’t measure mine but just try to make the line straight as I got across.
Fold each strip in half and hot glue closed. For a bigger flower, I just hot glue two strips together before I fold.
On the folded side, cut the felt part of the way through. DO NOT cut all the way through the glue portion.
Roll in a circle securing with glue as you go along.
Attach to your project and donezo!

Awwww…you are too kind. Spring totally snuck on my this year so I didn’t get to spend any time making my rosette wreath that I had planned. Maybe for fall 🙂

They are definitely my favorite to make because they are so easy and use very little felt.
