I didn't really think about posting instructions for this until some friends loved it and asked for the instructions, so I don't have any nifty step-by-step pictures or anything like that. But it was crazy simple, so it shouldn't be too hard!
Supplies:
Wreath form (I used a straw form, but foam would be fine too)
Two rolls of burlap ribbon (one may be enough if you don't alternate patterns/colors)
Felt in multiple colors - I bought 12 pieces but didn't use anywhere near all of them
Buttons
Straight pins
Hot glue gun
Needle and thread
Yarn/ribbon/something to hang it with
OK. First things first, wrap the burlap around your wreath form, and secure with straight pins. I wrapped the white first, leaving a gap between rounds, then went over the gaps with the black.
Next, the flowers. I used a couple of different tutorials that I found on Pinterest - if you don't like the styles I chose, there are plenty of other tutorials out there! Here are links to the ones I used:
The blue/yellow flowers were just circles glued together, and I cut out the leaves freehand.
I attached the flowers to the wreath form with straight pins - I prefer this over gluing them, in case I ever want to reuse the base wreath with different embellishments. Plus, I find that hot glue doesn't hold up as well with temperature changes.
All that's left is attaching a hanger! I used yarn looped a few times and knotted, then pinned to the back of the wreath.
Hope you enjoy this little peek of springtime!
