Spring Flower Wreath

I had every intention of making a wreath for St. Patty's day but as I've mentioned before... life gets in the way sometimes (aka my 18month old angel - haha).  Now with Easter around the corner I was determined to make a wreath :-D

First things first, you'll need to make some flowers

To do that, you'll need some felt

There are tons and tons and tons of fantastic tutorials on how to make felt flowers.  You can make so many different varieties, but here is how I made mine :)

Simple huh?

Look how pretty they all look!

 

Now it's time to glue the flowers onto the wreath.  I wanted them off to the side a bit, but place them on the wreath however you'd like :) 

 

If you like, you can hang it up just like this.  However, I wanted to add a little something extra.  

I added a little banner with the word SPRING.  I was originally going to put EASTER, but then decided that if it said Spring, I could probably keep it up longer :-D

For the banner I used some scrapbook paper and letter cut-outs that I had.

Cut the paper into triangles.  Glue on the letters.

Add the ribbon.

Now add to the wreath.

DONE :)

Oh yea, I also added those 2 wooden birds.  They were a different color originally (much lighter), but I thought they would like nice if they were stained.  Of course after I stained them and added them to the wreath I realized that they were the same color as the wreath {sigh}.... oh well

Still looks good :)

HAPPY CRAFTING!
