Valentine’s Day Wreath Tutorial

Ok friends, this tutorial comes with a warning. I LOVE the way this wreath turned out, but I do want to give fair warning that it took 24+ hours and over 400 rosettes to fill a 16” wreath.

Now with that out of the way, let’s get this tutorial rolling!


*************************************************************
What you need:
 
Wreath {mine was 16"}
Glue gun
Lots of glue
8.5x11 sheets of felt {believe I used about 77 sheets}
Scissors
1 1/2 yards sheer ribbon
 

******************************************************************

The how to's:
 
1. Cut your felt into a square. Mine are 4x4 inch squares.


2. You can round the deges to your square or just cut out a circle.


3. cut your circle in a spiral.


4. Next you'll want to take the outside end of your felt circle and roll it toward the the center.


5. Dab glue on the bottom of the felt to secure.





You've made a rosette!



6. Dab glue on the bottom of your rosette and place onto the wreath.


Just continue the first step until your wreath is covered the way you want.
 

6 hours in...


12 hours in...


18 hours in...


24 hours in...and we are finally done! YA!

Hang up and enjoy!
