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?
