I enjoy making my own wreaths and the other day I was feeling crafty so I made a really easy, budget friendly, felt flower and yarn spring wreath for my foyer.
I had all the supplies I needed on hand so this cost me zero dollars. You need a wreath form, felt (I think you can get it 4/$1), yarn ( have tons from trying to learn to knit and crochet), ribbon to hang your wreath and a glue gun. Optional: decorative trim, small branch of some kind of spring flowering tree or shrub (fake)
A word about wreath forms – I’ve never made a wreath that I loved so much that I wasn’t willing to take it apart and re-use it or re-fashion it over and over again. I have a few different types of forms and different sizes that I got from various places. The thrift store (just pull everything off it), clearance, purchased with a coupon, the dollar store, the dollar area at Target etc. I rarely go out and buy a new wreath form for a project. Lots of times you don’t even need a “wreath form” you can just cut yourself a circle or square from cardboard, a cereal box, or poster board/foam core.
Easy DIY Felt Flower & Yarn Wreath
1. wrap your yarn around your wreath form…yawn…watch a movie while wrapping yarn around your wreath form
2. make various felt flowers & a few leaves. You can make your flowers all one kind. I chose to make a few different kinds. If you don’t know how to make a felt flower, I show how to make felt rosettes in this post Christmas Felt Rosette Tree or you can of course just google “how to make a a felt flower”. It’s SO easy!
3. glue felt flowers onto your wreath in a manner that pleases you
4. Optional: glue your pieces of trim onto your wreath and a branch of a spring flowering tree or shrub and then hang your wreath with a ribbon.
This was a really inexpensive and easy spring wreath to make!
I like making my own wreaths since it’s usually very hard to find ones in the colors that I like.
Last year I used a green fluffy feather boa for the base of my spring wreath. You can see it here Easy DIY Spring Wreath.
Spring will be here before we know it (I hope) !
Manuela this wreath is so sweet and perfect for spring. It’s nice and bright and looks great on your mirrored hall tree. Have a great week! Pamela

Very pretty, Manuela! I have a dollar store grapevine wreath here that I did for Valentine’s Day that I want to do something with for Spring. I will have to surf Pinterest and see if any ideas catch my eye.
You’re so creative I’m sure you’ll come up with something fabulous! I like to spray paint those wreaths. I have one that’s been about 6 different colors!
Beautiful! Love that house too:). Have a blessed day dear Manuela. Hugs
I love the colors you used, Manuela! They make me smile.

I love it! the felt flowers are so charming and the colors pop against the red hall tree. Such simple things made such a darling wreath!

Very pretty! You have a lot of patience to wrap the yarn so neatly.
Yep, that’s why I said watch a movie while you wrap your yarn
So cute! I love the various felt flowers that you made and the fun spring colors that you used.
This is darling – it looks very Mary Englebreit! Love the colors! Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to see what I have been up to .
xo,
Lisa
I’ve always loved Mary Englebreit! My daughter’s first big girl room was done in ME wallpaper and accessories.
You know I love the wreath! It’s made of yarn, my favorite thing! It’s beautiful
Thank you Lara! I have so much yarn from when I was trying to learn to knit that I have to find some use for it!
Manuela, This is such a cute, fresh wreath!!!! I would love if you would share it at TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS. Link goes live Wednesday at 8:00. This pretty spring wreath will be such a hit!

Very cute! I think what I like best about it is that it has the colors of spring but the texture of warmth. It’s just perfect for this time of year, isn’t it?
Love the wreath, so bright and pretty. Don’t you love when you have all the supplies you need! Seems like I’m always missing one item. Laura
Thank you Laura! Yes, I’m always very happy when I have everything for a project, especially glue sticks! Nothing worse than being in a middle of project and running out of glue sticks!
It looks like Springtime! Which is needed right now in our household.
I laughed at your comment about the yarn. I gave up trying to learn to knit, I don’t think I have the knitting gene. However, I did used to crochet so I stocked up on some various Goodwill yarns to give it a try again.
My next project for “My Room” is to go through craft supplies and find a way to display them other than the drawers of Christopher’s old dresser.
