Easy DIY Spring Wreath With Felt Flowers

By

Sometimes I enjoy making my own wreaths and the other day I was feeling crafty, so I decided to DIY a Spring Wreath. 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)

Supplies

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.

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) !

      I’ve always loved Mary Englebreit! My daughter’s first big girl room was done in ME wallpaper and accessories.

      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!

    How darn cute is that wreath, and I love all the different styles of flowers you made. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin:)

    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?

    • Manuela says

      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.

    Such a cute wreath, Manuela. Your felt flowers are adorable, love all the different kinds. I like to reuse decorative items, too- I”m way too cheap to go out and buy new stuff for the changing seasons/ holidays! 🙂
