The winter season is upon us and decorating our homes for the holidays is such a fun way to get in a merry mood. I love crafting and I wanted to share with you my latest DIY project, that doesn’t even require a sewing machine! If you own a hot glue gun, you are all set! With my easy-to-follow instructions, you too, will have a pretty wreath to hang up. Great for your front door, mantle, window, and much more!
Supply List:
Metal Wreath Form
2 Different Colored Green Felt Fabrics (*Make sure you get enough of the darker fabric to cover the size wreath form you picked out and extra for the leaves. The lighter colored fabric will only be used to make leaves)
Hot Glue Gun & Sticks
Fabric Scissors
2 Different Sized White Pom-Poms
Place the metal wreath form on top of two layers of the darker green fabric. Then, cut the fabric so that it is about an inch larger around the whole circumference.
Flip the metal wreath form over and hot glue the felt to the outer rim while pinching the fabric down as the glue cools. Go all the way around until it looks like this.
If you don’t want to cover the back of the wreath form, you can skip this next step, otherwise continue here.
To cover the back of the metal wreath form, trim your remaining piece of cut fabric to better fit the outer ring of the form. This way there won’t be any extra material sticking out. If there is, be sure to cut it off. Then, hot glue the fabric in place as you did in the other steps. Next, flip the form over and cut a hole in the center and trim out the excess fabric. Once cut, flip the form over and hot glue the fabric to the inner ring (just like you did for the front of the form). Your wreath form is now fully covered.
Now, it’s time to move on to the leaves!
Using both fabric colors, cut out a LOT of leaves. You might need to cut more later depending on how full you want the wreath to look.
Once you have a bunch of leaves cut, pick one and hot glue the middle of the base of the leaf and pinch the sides together. Here is what they will look like when you are done.
After hot gluing your leaves together, now it’s time to hot glue them to your wreath! *Tip: For a more natural look overlap the leaves and alternate colors.
Once you have glued all your leaves on your wreath, step back and take a look at your beautiful creation!
Lastly, it’s time for the finishing touch! Get ready to add some cute pom-poms to look like fallen snow!
To get the look you want, randomly place your different-sized pom-poms on the wreath and adjust as you like. Once you are happy with the placement, hot glue them in place.
WOW! I just love the look of this wreath! It was so much fun to make and every time I see it in my house I get a great feeling knowing that I made it. This wreath will make a festive addition to your home décor this winter season!
Great job on your wreath, it’s beautiful.
