Valentines Day Felt Flower Love Wreath

I have another Valentines Day wreath tutorial to show you today!! it took me over 2 weeks to finish, but I am excited with how it turned out.

Here is the finished product, to find out how to make your own please keep on reading!

 Supplies you will need:

1. A Wreath - I got my wreath at Michaels for $9.99, it is a 12 inch wreath and it is a flat type of wreath.
2. Felt - I bought 20 pieces of red felt and 5 pieces of pink felt. I bought them at Michaels for $0.50 a square. 
3. Ribbon
4. Pins - you can use flat ended pins, but I used pearl headed pin because I bought a ton on ebay for cheap.
5. Scissors
6. Something to use to trace your circles.

Step 1: Trace and Cut your Circles

 

Find a item that is the same size you want your circles; I used a shot glass for mine because I wanted smaller circles, but you can use a glass or other item if you want bigger ones. I then traced and traced and traced and cut for it seemed like forever. This is by far the part that takes the longest and if it wasn't for the movie Pitch Perfect I would have lost my mind during this step.

Step 2: Fold and Pin

 

 

 

To make the felt flowers you are going to want to fold the felt circle in half (Picture 1) and then fold it in half again (Picture 2). Afterwards, you are going to put your pin down the center of the flower (Picture 3 and 4), and place it into the foam wreath. Repeat all the above steps over and over again until your wreath is full. 

To make the "Love" section of the wreath I used the pink felt circles and folded them as described above and the created the word. It took a little tweaking here and there to get it right, but in the end it wasn't hard to do. If your letters look a little strange, they will look better once you add the red flowers to help keep their structure. I actually suggest doing the word first and then filling in with red afterwards. I started doing the red first (as seen in the pics) and ended up having to take apart sections afterwards.

Step 3: Apply your Ribbon

I don't have a picture for this part, but you basically just cut the ribbon to size and glue or pin it to the back of the wreath. 

Step 4: Hang it up and Admire it

 

The great thing about this wreath is you can do any colour and use any word, so it doesn't technically have to be a Valentines Day wreath.

Thank-you for reading!
