Christmas Felt Flower Wreath by Bombshell Bling

WOOOOOOOW — right?!?!  That first one especially blew me away.  I know INSTANTLY that it was made by my dear friend Bev from Flamingo Toes.  She is the vintage-y wreath MASTER!  Now let’s talk about how I made my wreath.

I love this DIY Christmas wreath - and it seems so simple to make!

I actually made this wreath about four years ago, long before I was a blogger.  I have no recollection as to where I found my inspiration, but I am assuming it was from an Etsy shop.  That was at the height of my jewelry selling, so I spent a lot of time on Etsy.  This wreath is SUPER simple.  The only thing that requires even a tiny bit of skill is the flowers.  However, although they are indeed simple to make, they are much more time consuming than I anticipated, so settle down in front of a favorite movie or reruns of a favorite show and get cutting and glueing.

Here are the supplies that you will need to make this wreath:

*  an 18 inch straw (or styrofoam) wreath form
*  a skein of yarn (You know, one unit of yarn – mine was one of those skeins where the yarn fades in and out of different colors.  I don’t particularly love that look in knitted clothing, but I do love it on a wreath!)
*  sheets of felt in reds, greens, and whites  (wool felt holds up much nicer and longer, but regular sheet felt is cheaper and often has brighter colors)
*  scissors
*  hot glue gun and glue

Tie the yard in a knot around the wreath.  Stick  dot of hot glue on it if you want to hold it in place.  Now wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap, WRAP.  That’s all you’ve gotta do.  Wrap, baby, wrap!  Once your entire wreath is wrapped tie a knot in the back (a dot of glue option, once again), and you are done with that part!  Time to make felt flowers galore.

Gather up your various sheets of felt.  Here’s a warning: HOT GLUE ENDED UP YELLOWING THROUGH THE CHEAP WHITE FELT THAT I USED.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.  Cut circles in a variety of sizes and colors.  Here is what you will do with those circles.

How to Make Swirled Felt Flowers-1

For each felt flower you are going to need two circles, different sizes and colors.  Cut the circles in a swirled spiral, as shown below.

How to Make Swirled Felt Flowers-2

Starting at the center, dab the tiniest bit of hot glue on the edges and sortof glue the spiral on top of itself to create a tight flower bloom.  Do this for the entire spiral.  Be careful – I always burn myself doing stuff like this with a hot glue gun.

How to Make Swirled Felt Flowers-3

Complete both flowers.  Glue the smaller flower directly on top of the larger flower, as shown below.

All done!  Now keep making flowers and placing them (UNGLUED) on the wreath until you like the arrangement.  Use hot glue to attach them to the yarn covered wreath form.

Afraid you’ll forget the process?  Here’s a nifty Pinnable collage of the steps for you:

I love these simple swirled flowers for baby headbands and home decor!

You are now finished!  Here are a few pictures on our door.
