I’m excited to share a DIY wreath with you all today. It’s been too long. I knew I wanted to make a new Christmas wreath and wasn’t sure what direction to go. This wreath kind of just evolved once I got started, (much like my GIANT Christmas wreath that I made out of a hula hoop). I decided to do a felt covered wreath of some sort and I ended up with this ombre holiday wreath!
It’s super bright and cheerful which I love. Lula thought it was a Valentine’s day wreath at first, so maybe it doesn’t scream “Christmas” but that’s ok with me. Once everything else is up on the mantle, I think it will Christmasy enough. Here’s how I made it:
I started out with a foam wreath circle and a bunch of felt squares ranging from white to red.
I cut each color into strips about 3 inches wide.
Then I just wrapped each strip around, overlapping in the back. I used hot glue to secure. After overlapping the colors, here is how it looked:
I made some green flowers in various shades. I used this type of felt flower and this one as well
After making a pom pom garland, here is how it looks up on the fireplace!
It would look so fun and cheery hanging on a door as well!
My DIY Christmas wreath took about an hour to make and it was very cheap. The foam wreath was 1/2 off and the felt was probably only a few dollars total.
