EASY Fall Wreath

I saw a wreath similar to mine in a crafting magazine.  It was so simple in design and so simple to make.


Just start with a straw wreath from Michael's and some wide fall ribbon. (I used two rolls)
Wrap the wreath with the ribbon and use glue gun to secure ends.



I wanted to have some kind of felt flowers so I just 'Googled' handmade felt flowers and found site with ideas and a pattern that I enlarged to make my different flower sizes.  I'm sure if you scrapbook you could use about any paper flower pattern to make a felt flower. After making the flowers out of pieces of felt that complimented the wreath, I used the glue gun to secure them to the wreath in a pleasing pattern.




They looked a little plain so I found some old buttons and glued them inside the flowers for flower centers.





I cut out a some green leaves and glued them around some of the flowers.
I used a plain gold ribbon to hang the wreath. 


So Simple...So Pretty

Have you made a cute Halloween or Fall wreath for your front door yet?
