After decorating the vine wreath with burlap and felt flowers last week I was inspired to make another one. Shocking I know. ;) I'd picked up a smaller vine wreath at my daughter's request and decided to decorate it for the girl's playhouse.
Initially I thought I'd have my 5 year old do it with me, but this really isn't a small child type of craft since I was using hot glue gun!
First you fold the length of felt (about 18 inches) and hot-glue each end together. Then make small cuts down the length. The closer together the cuts the tighter the flower will look.
I took the wreath, some jingle bells, burlap and felt. Using a glue gun I made a felt flower and a burlap flower. I learned how to make the flowers at the Coffee & Craft night from my friend Amy.
Next you start to roll the felt up, hot-gluing as you go.
Here are two finished flowers. The one on the right is turned upside down btw.
I folded and wrapped the burlap to make a flower, then glued some bells on. I glued on the felt flowers, tied the wreath with a burlap length and we were set. Here it is compared to the big one I made last weekend.
It looks great on the girl's playhouse if I do say so myself.
