This is a very easy project to make.
Here is a list of supplies you will need; Scissors, paper, pencil, heart shaped wreath form, 1 yard of felt, 6 to 8 inches of ribbon, 3/4" sequin pins, a round glass or jar lid that is 3" diameter.
 |
| Red or Pink Felt |
 |
| Heart Shaped Styrofoam Wreath |
 |
| 3/4" Sequin Pins |
 |
| A Small Piece of Matching Ribbon |
 |
| Something round about 3" across |
Take your round object and cut a paper pattern that is about 3" across. Use this pattern to cut out enough round pieces of felt to cover your wreath. I recommend that you buy felt by the yard at your local fabric store. One yard will probably be more than enough felt to make your wreath. Unfortunately I can't tell you exactly how much felt to buy because I used some that I already had. I can tell you that you will only be able to cut 9 circles out of a single felt sheet (8 1/2 x 11) and depending on how close you put your felt you will need around 200 circles. Keep Reading! It really doesn't take that long to cut out 200 circles and if you have kids or grandchildren let them help and make it a family craft.
Now that you have your circles cut fold your felt in half like a taco shell. Then fold the felt circle in half again. Place your pin close to the folded edge where the point is formed. Start pinning your felt on the wreath form fluffing the "petals" as you go. Experiment with the placement of your felt until you get the fullness you like. When you get your wreath the fullness that you want.

Sorry about the funky location of the pictures. I tried to get them to line up, but they have a mind of their own!!
