Materials:
- 1 Styrofoam Wreath Form – mine was 8″
- Jute – enough to wrap wreath. I used about half of a large roll.
- Pink and white felt
- Embroidery floss
- Baby rick rack
- Lace
- Pearl Stick pins
- Hot glue/gun
Instructions:
-
Start by wrapping your wreath form with jute. This is pretty self-explanatory. Glue one end down, then just wrap. I found it was easier to not pull out too much jute – and to just wrap the package around and let the jute come out a little at a time.
-
Next up – make up a few felt flowers. I made two regular felt rosettes and then layered three felt rosettes with 3 folded ruffle flowers. You can find instructions for all those on the How To Do That flowers page. I made one of the layered flowers bigger than the others so that it could be a sort of centerpiece.
-
Arrange the flowers along the lower left side of the wreath form. Insert pearl stick pins through the centers, then into the wreath to hold them on. You might have a little trouble getting them through the glue but I have all confidence that you can do it.
-
Cut out six little pennants out of felt. With a disappearing marker, write out the letters and a heart.
-
Embroider the letters and heart with a backstitch. You can find the instructions for that on the Embroidery page.
-
Glue a little bit of baby rick rack to the back of the pennants. Cause we need more cuteness. And rick rack is always appropriate.
-
Glue the little pennant pieces to thin lace and tie bows in each end.
-
Add the pennant bunting to the top side of the wreath, a little to the right side. Pin it to the wreath with the pearl stick pins.
-
Add some pink and white pearl pins around the wreath for a little fun.
