I have been on quite the crafting spree lately. It has been my way of relaxing... I have also had some requests to post some tutorials, so here it goes...
A couple of weeks ago, we had our Spring football game, The Orange & Blue game. In honor of the Spring taste of our beloved Gator football, I decided to make a fun wreath:
Materials Needed:
- A wreath for your base ( I used a grapevine because they had them super cheap at the dollar store, but next time I will go with a Styrofoam)
- Yarn
- Felt
Wreath: Wrap the yarn closely around the wreath. I dabbed hot glue randomly as I went, just to keep it in place. Wrap the entire wreath.
Wrapping close and tight.
Half way there!
Complete! The styrafoam wreath will give it a smoother look.
Felt Flowers:
Step 1: Cut strips of felt about 1 1/2 inch wide. Fold in half lengthwise and glue just along the edge.
Step 2: Cut slits in the felt. Stop when you get to the edge that is glued.
Step 3: Begin to roll the strip. I add glue every once in awhile to secure it.
Step 4: Glue the end and fluff up the flower.
Variations:
The flowers will look different depending on how you cut the slits and how wide or small you make them:
Little Straight Slits
Wide Straight Slits
Diagonal Slits
How long your felt strip is will also effect how your flower looks. If you want a larger, fuller flower go for a longer strip.
Another look at the finished product:
Until Next Time!!
XOXO
