Summer Yarn Wreath

Just finished this beauty last weekend, hoping to get some momentum going with my crafting.

Supplies:
Foam wreath form
yarn (the cheapest stuff you can find in a color you like)
felt
hot glue/gun
fabri-tac
pre-cut felt letters and owls
2 in Satin Ribbon

Step 1: Wrap foam form until completely covered with yarn - here's where you can bring in color or leave it white.  Consider your door color, if its dark like mine you may want to go with a light color if it is white or light gray you may want to do something a little darker.

Step 2: You make the felt flowers of your choice, I used rolled, folded "s", and the spaghetti looking type.  It's easier find detailed instructions either on pinterest or the web to make them. 

Step 3: Adhere flowers in any fashion that looks nice to you - there is no set pattern.

Step 4: Cut out felt triangles and adhere precut letters  (welcome, your last name, or hello would make great phrases for the front door)

Step 5: Hot glue the pennants to rick rak or some other ribbon and the to the wreath.  Add the owls as a finishing touch

Step 6: Hang with a 2 in satin ribbon.

Viola!  Another great pinterest inspired craft :-)

Finished Pillow

I finished up 6 of these cuties just in time for the kiddos to eat all their Easter candy and not worry about their teeth falling out.  After I made my first one I got a great suggestion to add a ribbon handle so it could be hung on a bed post or door knob which I did do.  (Thank you Jessica).  I wish I would have taken pictures of all six before I gave them away but I missed the boat on that.  On a happy note this is like the 4th Pinterest inspired thing I have done so I am working my way to finishing those 1073 pins! 

Up next a summer yarn wreath ;-)
