felt wreath tutorial {in ombre!}
This felt wreath combines gorgeous wool felt with one of my favorite decor trends-ombre!
It's super simple to whip up, here's the how-to:
Materials Needed:
wool felt (a 14" wreath takes approximately 8 9x12 sheets of felt)
straw wreath form
hot glue (and lots of it!)
Step 1: Gather your supplies.
(this collection of felt came from burlap+blue sponsor, Benzie)
And this is the wreath form I picked up at Hobby Lobby...
Step 2: Cut your felt. I cut each sheet of felt into 6 strips (cutting lengthwise). I then cut each length into 5 rectangles...
Next, take your rectangles and cut out teardrop-shaped pieces...
Use a good pair of scissors so you can cut multiple pieces at once. When you are done, you should have a big 'ol pile of felt goodness...
Step 3: Warm up that hot glue gun and start gluing! Since a picture is worth many words, here are two images that should help you get a feel for the layout...
I started with the white felt pieces, and glued a row across the width of the wreath. I did 2-3 rows of each color (I had 10 colors total of felt). In the second image, I had just finished up the teal portion and am about to start on the green. Gluing onto this size wreath form takes approximately 30-40 minutes.
Easy, fun and beautiful-hope you love this felt wreath tutorial as much as I do! The color combinations are endless (and so are the places in your home where you are going to want one of these lovelies!)
Thanks for reading my felt wreath tutorial! Have a lovely day!
