I love this wreath and if my Blog stats are correct so do you. Wanna make your own? Great! Here is a pattern and a quick how to. Refer to This Post for preparing the wreath with Fleece (I used Blue Sweatshirt Fleece). Then download this pattern and cut out 4 pattern piece from wool felt for each flower. You can adjust the size, but mine are all the same. Then arrange the felt pieces like 2 crosses and place one on top of the other with the bottom one skewed so that it resembles a flower and you can see all the petals. Stitch the center to secure. You can choose just about anything for your center. I choose Buttons and I love them. Then slip stitch the flowers onto your wreath. Be careful to tack down all your petals or else they may flop down on your door and you will have a droopy wreath (not very Christmasy). Next, I used a holly leaf picture as m template (just Google Holly Leaf and search through the images till you find one you like). I cut out 2 leaves for every cluster. I also used Buttons for your berries or felt circles. Remember Poinsettias come in a variety of colors so go crazy and use up your scraps. Enjoy!
Adorable! If I could just find my felt, I just might be able to whip one of these up!
