I LOVE it!
My poor hubby had to suffer through many a movies with the lights on (he hates having to do this) so that I could cut out strips of felt to roll into flowers!
I started this wreath about a month ago, with full intention of finishing it in one weekend, but I discovered that I get sidetracked very easily and start something new, before something old isn't finished!
I am sad that this bad boy only gets to hang for a week, it turned out better than I could have wished for.
Do you LOVE it too?
Want to make your own?
Super easy (just very time consuming, trust me)!
What you need:
heart shaped wreath
2 yards felt
hot glue gun
hot glue
ribbon
scissors
Step One:
Cut circle (any and all shapes and sizes) out of felt.
Scallop edeges (as seen in upper left hand corner square), it gives more dimension to the flower.
Begin rolling felt in a circle (shown on bottom pictures).
Step Two:
Once you have finished rolling, hot glue the bottom to hold the flower together.
Step Three:
Tie a ribbon onto the back of wreath (I would recommend doing this part first, and I will if I ever made this again) and hang on the door of choice!
I thought that I LOVED it before it was hung, but when I saw it this afternoon, I LOVED it even more! Here it is, one more time, all done...for your viewing pleasure (ok, mine too)!

Found this on a link-link-link via pinterest-♥ it! this is the one I am making :)
I'd love to know the size of the wreath tho-12"? 16"? !8?" Off to measure my front door for a good sizing :)
To make the flowers bigger do you use more as in length of felt or cut the felt wider? Thanks love it..
LOVE YOUR BLOG. I am convinced we need to be frinds girl! So I've been to hobby lobby in search of something that will do a scalloped cut like you did on your felt. No dice. What did you use??? Is your heart shaped wreath made with vines or what? Where did to buy it? I was all gung ho ready to start making this tonight it now I'm all bummed because I cant find all the materials I need! Help!!
I seriously need a template for this! One I/we can print up and use. Is it possible for you to do ?
