Felt wreath

So I finished my felt wreath tutorial and though it isnt as beautiful as the one in the tutorial, I am really happy with it! I could have made it more dense as I had more circles left over.

To make it you need:

1 polystyrene wreath (mine was 34cm from spotlight for about $7)

3 metres of felt (approximately...I bought 3.5 but I have extra) which you can buy in wool or acrylic

An inkpad to stamp circles

A 7-8cm circle shape (I used a drinking glass)

Scissors

1 tin of pins (also from spotlight...you are going to need around 300 pins)

All you have to do is stamp circles, cut them out. Each one gets folded into quarters, push a pin through the bottom and attach. Seriously simple for such a beautiful results. I'm so glad I found this tutorial!

Completed wreath

Finished!

I put it on facebook but here is another photo in case I have readers here not on my facebook (hi, how come we arent, friend request me!). I like this photo coz it shows how uneven the flowers are in height but overall, it still looks adorable! If I wanted to spend a long time cutting the swirts perfectly the same width, it would be a perfect wreath, but I'm not that kind of gal! When I saw it, I had to make it...like THAT NIGHT! It's only going in my study anyway, not on the front door because I have plans for another style for the front door. Here, have another photo lol:

I should point out, that it looks uneven (bottom heavy) but it isnt, that's just the angle I took the photo from. Tonight I might make a few tiny flower to fill in a couple of little gaps I dont want. Here is the link to the instructions if you want to try.

I got a smallish wreath (23cm across) and used about 20 sheets of cardstock (that I already had, 210gsm). It was started and completed in two evenings (just while watching a movie or two). Give it a try, it's so easy!
