{ flower wreath }

I had a FUN fourth of July! I crafted all day with my sisters! Here is something

we came across on the web and had to recreate it!

What you'll need:

1. Wreath form
2. Fabric
3. Fast grab tacky glue
4. Felt
5. Hot glue and scissors
6. Heavy card stock

Start by making as many flowers in as many different sizes as you

want! You can use this link to learn to make the flowers you see on

my wreath. I made 14 flowers total.

Now to make the leaves.

Start with a piece of fabric about 6x3 inches.

Fold it in half long way, right side out, so you have a 3x3 inch square.

Now fold the left corner down to the center so the folded edge is your top

point!

Use tacky glue to secure it.

Now do the same to the right side and tack it down.

Go back the left side and fold the new corner over a little past the center

and tack it down. Do the same to the right side.

Now do it one more time. You should have a leaf looking thing! :)

I made 5 leaves for my wreath.

The next step is to trace half of your wreath onto the your heavy card stock.

Now set your flowers and leaves out how you want them using the tracing

as a guide to where they'll sit on your wreath.

Once you have them where you want them, glue them down to the paper

using your tacky glue. Allow them to dry about 10 min.

Cut the paper around the outside edge of the flowers so you have

one big piece to attach to your form.

Cut strips of fabric to cover your wreath. When you run out of one

strip just hot glue the end to the back side of the form and

start a new strip by hot gluing it to the same spot you ended

 your last one. Wrap until it's covered.

Now use hot glue and attach the flower to your wreath!

I used a strip of fabric to hang it!

And here is the one my sis made! Love the polka dot ribbon!
